CO2 laser treatment is a type of skin resurfacing that uses the energy from a carbon dioxide (CO2) fueled laser to remove thin layers of damaged skin. Through CO2 laser treatment, you can improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, discoloration, age spots, and other cosmetic skin irregularities. In contrast, the Pico laser treatment is a state-of-the-art technology that uses short bursts of laser energy to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and sun damage. Pico lasers can also be used to remove tattoos quickly and effectively. This type of laser treatment targets pigmented cells in the skin and breaks them down without harming any nearby skin. Overall, Pico laser treatment is the preferred option for those with mild to moderate skin issues, while CO2 laser treatment is typically best for those with more severe skin problems, such as scars or deeply inset wrinkles. When deciding which laser treatment is right for you, it is important to consider the issue you’re looking to resolve, your skin type, the severity of concern, and your budget. Via a consultation, your skin care professional will be able to help you pinpoint which treatment option is right for you. If you’re struggling with hyperpigmentation issues, visit Glo Med Spa.
