Question 1

How Do CO2 Fractional Laser Treatments Work?

Accepted Answer

Lutronic eCO2™ is a fast resurfacing laser treatment that uses fractionated ablative technology to trigger the skin’s natural self-healing process as well as deep collagen renewal. The laser creates microscopic channels down to the deeper layers of the skin where collagen resides while leaving healthy bridges of skin in between each channel for quicker healing. Dr. Karolak controls the depth of the laser and customizes each treatment according to his patients’ unique aging pattern ensuring an optimal outcome each and every time.

Minimally-invasive eCO2™ treatments are often paired with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) to decrease healing times and facilitate improved results.

Question 2

Am I a Good Candidate for CO2 Fractional Laser?

Accepted Answer

You may be a good fit for eCO2™ fractional laser treatments if you’re unhappy with the overall texture and tone of your skin. eCO2™ can be personalized to give you results that are as subtle or dramatic as you’d like. The ideal candidate for laser treatments is an otherwise healthy adult both physically and mentally.

eCO2™ has a variety of applications including;

Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Scars & Enlarged Pores
Hyperpigmentation
Textural Irregularities
Skin Tightening

Dr. Karolak often uses the advanced eCO2™ technology to perform non-surgical blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) procedures. At the time of your initial consultation, Dr. Karolak will speak with you about all of your options in-depth.

Question 3

What Results Will I See After CO2 Fractional Laser?

Accepted Answer

Your skin will appear firmer and feel tighter immediately following treatment. Although results can vary from patient to patient, most are happy with the outcome of their procedure in just 5-10 days. Gradual improvement will continue to occur as additional collagen production is induced over the course of several weeks to several months. Many patients see the results they want with just one Lutronic eCO2™ treatment.

Question 4

How Long Does a CO2 Fractional Laser Take?

Accepted Answer

Treatment times with eCO2™ can vary significantly depending on your individual needs and concerns. In most cases, fractional laser treatments can be performed in 15-45 minutes. Dr. Karolak is a Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon and performs all in-office procedures for optimal safety and efficacy.

Question 5

Is There Any Downtime After CO2 Fractional Laser?

Accepted Answer

eCO2™ has limited downtime compared to surgical alternatives. Patients can expect some post-procedural scabbing and peeling for anywhere from 2-7 days after treatment. The skin may appear flushed or pink for up to 3-4 weeks depending on the aggressive nature of your procedure. PRP treatments are occasionally enlisted to help reduce post-treatment discomfort and facilitate a speedy recovery.
