Four months after CO2 laser resurfacing, you can see what the skin looks like once it has fully healed. This patient is a 62-year-old white female whose after photo shows noticeably smoother skin texture across the forehead, cheeks, and around the mouth compared to the before photo. CO2 laser works by delivering controlled energy to the skin's surface, prompting the body to produce new collagen during the healing process. The full effect takes several months to develop, which is why the four-month mark is a meaningful point to photograph. Fine lines visible in the before photo appear significantly reduced in the after image. Individual results vary. Save it to your Favorites ❤️ if you want to come back to it later.
