Six months after CO2 laser resurfacing, you can see how the skin texture across the full face has changed in this 64-year-old patient. The before photo shows pronounced surface lines across the forehead, cheeks, and perioral area. In the after photo, those lines are visibly reduced, and the overall skin tone appears more even throughout. CO2 laser treatment works by delivering controlled energy to the skin's surface and underlying layers, prompting new collagen production during the healing period. The six-month mark is when much of that remodeling has had time to settle, so what you're seeing here reflects a well-matured result rather than an early post-treatment stage.
