Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing in Reno
CO2 laser skin resurfacing allows people to look youthful and refreshed, providing them with a skin makeover. As people age, collagen in their skin gradually reduces, causing skin to wrinkle. Significant sun exposure can cause further damage. CO2 laser treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles, sun damage, and scars, creating smoother, younger-looking skin.
Candidates for Laser Skin Rejuvenation
People who would like a refreshed appearance can be excellent candidates for this procedure. This can be because of scarring, uneven pigmentation, birthmarks, age spots, sun-damaged skin, and lines and wrinkles under the eyes, around the mouth, and on the forehead. This also includes people with non-responsive skin post-facelift.
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedures
With CO2 laser treatments, laser beams precisely create tiny holes of light. This helps to remove the top layer of skin cells, stimulate the skin below, increase collagen production, and allow the skin to repair itself for a healthy, glowing appearance. During the laser skin rejuvenation process, which takes about thirty minutes, the surrounding skin is not affected. This procedure is both safe and effective.

Results of Laser Skin Rejuvenation
After a downtime of about one week, you’ll experience better results than with chemical peels you may have tried. Skin can become tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking as wrinkles, scars, and sun damage fade and the production of collagen is restimulated.
Individual results can vary, but it can be helpful to look at these before and after cases that can highlight significant reductions in lines and wrinkles, improved skin clarity, enhanced facial contours, and diminishing aging signs. People typically enjoy long-lasting results with continuing skin improvement after they have laser skin resurfacing in Reno with Dr. Yamamoto.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the best moisturizer after CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatments?
During the first five days of post-laser skin resurfacing in Reno, the main goal is to keep skin as moist as possible through generous applications of recovery or Aquaphor ointment. After that, you can use a lighter moisturizer, being aware that sensitive skin may not tolerate certain products. Recommended moisturizer brands during this time include Cetaphil or Cerave Cream. If you have questions about specific brands, just reach out to us at the office.
What are the signs of infection after CO2 laser treatment?
Key signs include fever, increased redness and/or swelling, or blistering. If you notice any unusual symptoms, please contact our office. Catching and correcting any possible complications early is critically important to a great result.
How long after CO2 laser treatment can I wear makeup?
Although it’s important to get approval from Dr. Yamamoto before applying makeup, it’s typically fine five to seven days after your CO2 laser treatments. Please remove makeup very gently, using mild cleansing lotion with no scrubbing motions. Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion, available over the counter, is the recommended brand.
When can I wash my hair after CO2 laser skin resurfacing?
You can shower and wash your hair after your laser skin rejuvenation. Feel free to use shampoo, but avoid getting any on your face.
How can I speed up healing after a CO2 laser?
There are optimal healing tips after your CO2 laser treatments in our Post Care for CO2 Laser handout. The basic principle involves keeping the skin moist at all times with the handout providing detailed information. Although the regime described can be time-consuming, self-care provided during the first week after your laser skin resurfacing in Reno is vitally important for desirable results.
Instructions will include items such as keeping your head elevated while resting and not bending over or lifting more than ten pounds for two weeks. You’ll want to avoid strenuous exercise or getting into swimming pools or hot tubs after laser skin rejuvenation until Dr. Yamamoto gives his approval. Only use water when washing your face (no facial cleansers, toners, or soap), and keep follow-up appointments. Please read Post Care for CO2 Laser for more information.
