C02 laser skin resurfacing
The technique of cosmetic skin resurfacing with the C02 laser is very effective to reduce wrinkles without scalpels or stitches. Instead, Dr. Burger guides a laser beam over the wrinkled skin. This removes the outer layers and the healing process results in a firmer, smoother appearance.
Patients are treated with the C02 laser right in the doctor’s office, offer under local anesthetic and may return to work immediately or in the next few days. The treated area will be red for some time after treatment and the doctor will provide directions on haw to care for the area as it heals. Steps may include application of ointment, avoidance of sunlight, and other appropriate measures. Additional follow- up visits allows the doctor to monitor progress. A reduction in wrinkles is usually immediately noticeable.
