Thoughts on Co2 Laser?

[Deleted member 17920]

What’s the general opinion on this? I have poor collagen and some light acne scars, I won’t be paying for it aswell.

I saw some results, it is good.

But in order to achieve godly results with it, you need full ablation. This is not a typical fraxel, where you can just do it without anaesthesia and go home after.

What's ablation and how to do it fully?

Fraxel vs co2 laser, pros and cons?

Fraxel vs co2 laser, pros and cons?

Fraxel IS CO2.

Pros: non-invasive, fast recovery, works on wrinkles.

Cons: requires many treatments.

It is a CO2 laser, which is not fraxel. Fraxel just punctures your skin in many places using hot CO2.

While ablation CO2-laser completely burns all of your skin. It is done under nerve block.

Fully ablative result:

idk, i never had it. But i know you should prepare that it is quite painful, even fraxel.

Nah they gave me a test for free, Shit felt like a blood test at worst.

fully ablative CO2 is brutal af, i got sciton halo which is 2 wavelengths 1470nm and 2940nm so its a step down from fully ablative CO2.

Ask them to increase power. Fraxel has intensity settings. The more punctures, the more effect and more PAINFUL.

fyi halo is better than fraxel. Fraxel uses wavelengths that are less than halo's wavelengths:

Ablative CO2 is currently THE best method to restore collagen and skin youthfulness. Literally gives youthful skin to 70-year-olds.

What kind of acne scars do you have, it depends on the type how good laser helps.
I tried 2x Co2 laser in fully ablative mode, the down in my case was 3 weeks and after that my face was still very red for the next 3-4 month. I have to say that for me works much better the surgical needling with the dermapen 4.0 (not comparable with normal micro needling devices) it goes 3mm into your skin and is even with anesthetic cream and oral pain killers painfull. You have a downtime of 2 weeks but after that no redness like with the laser, also it's cheaper than the laser. I would recommend 3 sessions.

Quite minor acne scars tbh and i got a “test” of it on one of the spots and don’t have changed pigmentation. I’m not sure if it was ablasive tho.
