What Are the Causes of Skin Damage? 

Skin damage can result from various internal and external factors. Common culprits include prolonged sun exposure, aging, environmental pollutants, and lifestyle habits such as smoking or poor diet. Over time, these factors break down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and textural irregularities.

Discover the CO2RE Difference 

CO2RE treatments can dramatically improve the way your skin feels and looks. From reducing fine lines to enhancing skin texture, this advanced system delivers noticeable, long-lasting results. Curious if CO2RE is the right solution for your skin concerns? Dr. Morgenstern and his team are here to help. During your consultation, he’ll answer all your questions, explain the process in detail, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs.  

Experience the Benefits of CO2RE 

The CO2RE fractional CO2 laser system allows Dr. Morgenstern to precisely target and rejuvenate your skin, treating surface-level concerns and deeper dermis layers. Its ability to treat superficial and deep skin layers simultaneously makes it a powerful option for glowing, radiant skin. Here are some of its many benefits:  

  • Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet  
  • Improves skin texture and tone  
  • Minimizes the appearance of acne scars and other blemishes  
  • Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin improvement  
  • Tightens and lifts sagging skin  
  • Can target specific areas or treat the entire face 

What to Expect During a CO2 Laser Treatment Session

A CO2 laser treatment session with Dr. Morgenstern is designed to be a comfortable and effective experience, tailored to meet your individual needs. Here’s what you can expect during the process:   

The Treatment Process:

On the day of the procedure, your skin will be carefully cleansed, and a topical anesthetic or numbing agent may be applied to enhance your comfort. During the session, Dr. Morgenstern will use the CO2RE laser to precisely target the treatment areas. The laser energy penetrates the skin to address surface imperfections and stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers. You may feel a warm sensation as the laser works, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. The session typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.  

Recovery and Results:

After the treatment, your skin may feel warm, similar to a sunburn, and redness or mild swelling is expected. Dr. Morgenstern will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. A soothing ointment may be applied to keep the skin hydrated and protected as it heals.  

Over the next several days, you’ll notice the treated skin gradually peeling and revealing smoother, fresher skin underneath. While some downtime is required, many patients feel comfortable resuming light activities within a few days. Results continue to improve over time as collagen production increases, with full results becoming evident after a few weeks.
