CO2 Laser Resurfacing Before & After Case 428

This patient sought facial rejuvenation primarily due to concerns about sun-induced pigmentation, age spots, and deep facial wrinkles. Years of sun exposure without regular sunscreen use led to visible sun damage and uneven skin tone, particularly in the form of sun spots and etched lines around her mouth and cheeks. She felt these changes made her look older than she felt. With a busy lifestyle, she did not want to commit to ongoing treatments to manage pigmentation. Instead, she looked for a high-impact, one-time solution to address these concerns comprehensively.

The patient underwent full-face CO2 Laser Resurfacing in Santa Rosa. CO2 laser resurfacing targets damaged skin using laser energy to remove sun spots, fade hyperpigmentation, and stimulate collagen remodeling. The procedure also firms the skin and softens deep lines, providing improved and smoother skin texture in a single session. As seen in her before and after photos, she achieved significant improvement in skin clarity, reduction of dark spots, and a noticeable smoothing effect on facial wrinkles. These results continue to develop in the months following the procedure as collagen continues to rebuild.
