Fractional CO2 #49427

This is a CO2 Laser case performed on a 75-year-old woman by Dr. Nasrin Mani. The after photo is taken during the early recovery phase, so what you're seeing is the skin in an active healing state: redness, swelling, and a moist surface texture are all expected at this point in the process. CO2 Laser works by delivering columns of laser energy into the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling, while leaving surrounding tissue intact to support faster recovery. That healing response is visible in the after image. If you're considering this treatment and want to understand what the recovery timeline looks like for your skin type, Dr. Nasrin Mani can walk you through what to expect.
