Experience the most powerful and transformative skin rejuvenation available with Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing at Balance. Considered the gold standard by medical professionals, this advanced treatment is the ultimate solution for significantly improving deep wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, and extensive sun damage. Our expert medical team in Columbia, SC, utilizes this state-of-the-art technology at our Shandon, Irmo, and Metabolic Health locations to deliver dramatic, long-lasting results, effectively turning back the clock on your skin.
The Fractional CO2 laser works by delivering a matrix of microscopic laser columns deep into the skin. This process does two things simultaneously: it vaporizes the old, damaged skin tissue on the surface, and it sends a powerful heat signal into the deeper layers of the dermis. This controlled thermal injury triggers a massive healing response, stimulating the production of new, healthy collagen and fundamentally remodeling the skin’s underlying structure.
At Balance, we reserve this powerful treatment for clients seeking profound, meaningful change in their skin’s health and appearance. Our approach is rooted in medical expertise, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the process. We are dedicated to guiding you through this transformative journey, helping you achieve a level of skin renewal that is simply not possible with lesser treatments.
Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing delivers four unparalleled benefits for those seeking the most significant level of skin correction.
This is where the CO2 laser truly shines. It is unrivaled in its ability to smooth deep-set wrinkles, crow’s feet, and smoker’s lines around the mouth. It also dramatically improves the appearance of atrophic acne scars by stimulating new collagen to “fill in” the indentations from the inside out.
The intense dermal heating from the laser causes the existing collagen to contract and stimulates the growth of new, stronger collagen over the following months. This results in a noticeable tightening and lifting effect, improving skin laxity on the face, neck, and around the eyes.
By ablating, or removing, the outermost damaged layers of the skin, the CO2 laser effectively erases years of sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation. It reveals a completely new layer of fresh, healthy skin that is smoother, clearer, and more uniform in tone.
While other treatments require ongoing maintenance, the results from a single CO2 laser treatment are significant and can last for years. The structural improvements made to your skin through collagen remodeling provide a durable foundation for a more youthful and healthier appearance long-term.
Your CO2 laser journey at Balance is a medically supervised process focused on delivering profound results safely and effectively.
This journey begins with a mandatory, in-depth consultation with one of our medical providers. We will perform a thorough skin analysis, review your medical history, and discuss your goals to ensure you are an ideal candidate. We will set clear expectations for the procedure, downtime, and results.
To ensure the best possible outcome, you may be placed on a pre-treatment skincare regimen for several weeks. This helps to prepare your skin for the laser, ensuring it is healthy and ready for the healing process, which can minimize the risk of complications.
On the day of your treatment, we will begin by applying a strong topical anesthetic. Once your skin is numb, the laser procedure itself is relatively quick, typically taking 30-60 minutes for a full face. Your provider will precisely guide the laser to address your specific areas of concern.
This is the most critical part of your journey. You will follow a strict at-home aftercare protocol to support the healing process. After the initial 7-10 day healing period, your skin will continue to produce new collagen for months. Your final, stunning results will emerge gradually, revealing a dramatically smoother, tighter, and more youthful complexion.
