What is Lutronic eCO2 laser resurfacing?
Our Lutronic eCO2 laser treatment, short for carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, is a highly effective procedure that uses laser energy to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate the production of collagen. Lutronic eCO2 is an ablative laser, meaning it removes the aging or damaged outer layers of the skin using a process of controlled thermal injury. Ablative laser resurfacing stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. By precisely vaporizing damaged skin layers, our eCO2 Lutronic treats issues like deep wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture.
This treatment can be tailored to target specific areas or used for full-face resurfacing, providing dramatic results for the texture and tone of your skin. Options include traditional ablative laser resurfacing for deeper wrinkles and fractional laser treatments for a more gentle approach with faster recovery.
