CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing, North Dakota
After the procedure, you will be given a post-laser ointment to apply to the face for approximately 3-4 days. After this you may apply makeup if desired. You will experience some sloughing of the skin for approximately 5-10 days after the treatment, and some slight redness may be noted for 2-3 weeks while your skin is healing. This can usually be covered with makeup. You will see gradual improvement in the appearance of your skin immediately after the initial healing phase is complete at about 5 days. The CO2 laser stimulates collagen production in the dermis (deep skin layer) that helps fill in the fine lines of your face. Collagen build up takes up to 6 months to complete.
