CO2RE® ABLATIVE Laser

Dr Liz Dawes-Higg using Laser treatment for Dermatology.

The CO2RE® laser from Candela is an ablative laser for the treatment of scars, aging and sun damaged skin. This laser will also treat acne scars and surgical scars. It can target both the superficial and more deeper levels of the skin so it is a good all-round laser.

 

is THIS A Fractional LAser?

A fractional laser is a laser that treats only a small column of tissue at a time. Multiple columns of treated skin are used, leaving the surrounding skin to help with rapid healing. This laser can work as both meaning that it can also treat sheets of skin without a gap which can be good for conditions such as rhinophyma (a large nose)

 

How Many Treatments are Needed?

This will depend on what skin condition you are having treated. Typically 1 or possibly 2 treatments are needed for rejuvenation. For scarring this can be 4 or 5 treatments.
