How CO2 Lasers Target Dark Spots
CO2 lasers work by removing the outer layers of damaged skin. This process not only reduces wrinkles by restructuring collagen but also targets and eliminates pigmentation, which causes dark spots.
CO2 Laser Treatment Benefits:
- Pigmentation Removal: Effectively removes dark spots by targeting and removing pigmented skin cells.
- Collagen Restructuring: Stimulates collagen production, which helps improve skin texture and tone, further reducing the appearance of dark spots.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Additionally, CO2 lasers can reduce wrinkles, offering a comprehensive skin rejuvenation approach.
Treatment and Recovery:
- Number of Treatments: Most individuals require just one or two CO2 laser treatments to see significant results.
- Recovery Time: The typical recovery time is about one week, during which the skin resurfaces.
| Feature | Description |
