FAQs
Read answers to common questions about our aesthetic and wellness treatments.
Is eCO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing suitable for all skin types?
Yes, eCO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing is generally suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. Darker skin tones may pose a higher risk for potential hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. It is imperative to schedule a thorough initial consultation with one of our team members to assess your skin type and determine what the best treatment is for you.
Are there any side effects?
Temporary redness and swelling are normal and typically subside within a few days to a week. The treated skin will peel and flake as part of the natural healing process. Some discomfort, similar to a sunburn, can be expected during and after the procedure.
Can I wear makeup after the treatment?
Abstain from applying makeup to the treated area until it fully heals. Your skin will need a minimum of 3-4 days to heal properly and reduce the risk of irritation or infection. After this initial period, you can reintroduce makeup, but be sure to use gentle, non-comedogenic products to avoid clogging pores and exacerbating any potential side effects. Always follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by our staff for optimal results.
When will I see results?
The timeline for seeing results from eCO2 laser treatment varies. Each individual is unique and the intensity of the treatment depends on the specific skin concerns being addressed. However, you may notice initial results 1-2 weeks post-treatment once your skin has completed its healing process. We recommend continuing treatments 4-6 weeks apart to see optimal results as the collagen production increases.
What can I expect during the recovery period?
After your eCO2 Laser Treatment, you can expect redness, swelling, and a warm tingling on your skin surface. These symptoms usually subside within a few days to a week. You will experience some peeling/flaking on the treated skin as this is part of the natural healing process. Full recovery and optimal results can take several weeks.
Will there be any downtime?
Downtime is minimal and quite manageable compared to more traditional CO2 laser treatments. Some common post-treatment symptoms include mild redness and swelling, which typically subsides within a few days to a week.
Is eCO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing safe?
Yes, eCO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing is a safe treatment when performed by a highly trained Laser Technician. Our team of skin experts at Seamless Health are trained technicians in performing this treatment safely and effectively. We are proud to utilize the advanced technology of Lutronic’s eCO2 Plus™ device.
How many eCO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing sessions will I need?
The number of treatment sessions required depends on your skin concerns and goals. We typically recommend 2-4 sessions for optimal results. Each session should be spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow your skin ample time to heal and to see the full effects of each treatment. After achieving your desired results, you may need maintenance sessions 1-2 times a year.
