One of our standout services is the Cool Peel CO2 Laser, which is highly effective for rejuvenating the skin by reaching deeper layers to stimulate collagen production.
The benefits of CO2 laser treatment can be greatly amplified when paired with other treatments available at our spa.
In this blog, we will discuss how to safely and effectively combine CO2 laser treatments with other services we offer, including BOTOX®, IPL/PHOTOFACIAL, injectables, permanent cosmetics, and Morpheus 8 Microneedling.
What Treatments Should You Combine With CO2 Laser?
#1 CO2 Laser and BOTOX®
Combining CO2 laser treatments with BOTOX® can produce remarkable results. The CO2 laser focuses on improving the skin’s texture and addressing issues like scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
On the other hand, BOTOX® targets dynamic wrinkles, which are formed by repeated facial expressions, by temporarily paralyzing the muscles responsible for these movements.
Ideal Timing and Results
To maximize the benefits, it’s typically advised to schedule BOTOX® injections about two weeks after undergoing a CO2 laser treatment.
This timing allows the skin to initiate its healing process and can enhance the overall smoothness of your skin, reducing both static and dynamic wrinkles effectively.
#2 CO2 Laser and IPL/Photofacial for Enhancing Skin Tone and Texture
The IPL/Photofacial treatment uses intense pulsed light to target pigmentation issues like sunspots, age spots, and redness.
When combined with the CO2 laser, which primarily resurfaces the skin, you can achieve a more uniform skin tone and texture.
Procedure Integration
For those considering combining these treatments, it is usually recommended to start with the IPL/Photofacial sessions.
This prepares the skin by addressing superficial discoloration first, followed by a CO2 laser treatment after a few weeks to focus on deeper skin rejuvenation.
#3 CO2 Laser and Injectables (Dermal Fillers) for Achieving Full Facial Rejuvenation
While CO2 laser treatments excel in skin resurfacing and promoting collagen production, dermal fillers can complement these effects by restoring lost volume and smoothing out deep lines and wrinkles that the laser might not fully address.
Combining Treatments
It’s advisable to receive dermal fillers approximately one month after your CO2 laser session.
This allows the laser-treated skin to heal adequately and provides a more stable foundation for the filler, ensuring longer-lasting and more natural-looking results.
#4 CO2 Laser and Permanent Cosmetics for Perfecting the Look
Permanent cosmetics, such as eyebrow tattooing or lip tinting, can be enhanced with the textural improvements from CO2 laser treatments.
By refining the skin texture, CO2 laser treatments can provide a smoother canvas for permanent makeup applications.
Scheduling Considerations
To ensure optimal results, consider having the CO2 first and permanent cosmetics 2-4 weeks following their CO2 treatment. This way the laser technician can address skin concerns around the eyes more thoroughly.
This approach helps protect the integrity of the permanent makeup and maximizes the aesthetic outcome.
CO2 Laser and Morpheus8 Microneedling for Synergistic Effects for Skin Tightening
Morpheus8 Microneedling uses microneedles combined with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and promote collagen production deep within the dermis.
When used in conjunction with the CO2 laser, these treatments can dramatically enhance skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Treatment Protocol
Typically, it’s best to undergo Morpheus8 treatments before starting CO2 laser sessions.
This order allows the skin to benefit from deep collagen induction first, followed by the precise resurfacing offered by the CO2 laser, for an all-encompassing rejuvenation effect.
FAQ
How long should I wait between different treatments when combining them with CO2 laser?
The waiting period can vary depending on the specific treatments. Generally, it’s safe to wait a few weeks between treatments to allow the skin to heal and respond to each treatment effectively.
Are there any risks in combining CO2 laser with other aesthetic treatments?
While combining treatments can be highly effective, it also increases the complexity of your skincare regimen. It’s crucial to have these treatments done under the supervision of experienced professionals who can assess your skin’s condition and recommend the safest treatment plan.
Can everyone combine CO2 laser treatments with other services?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for combined treatments. Individual assessments are necessary to determine the most beneficial and safe treatment combinations based on skin type, condition, and aesthetic goals.
Conclusion
Combining our Cool Peel CO2 Laser with other treatments such as BOTOX®, IPL, injectables, permanent cosmetics, and Morpheus8 Microneedling can lead to unparalleled results.
However, it’s essential to consult with our skilled professionals to tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your skin type and beauty aspirations.
