Procedure Details

This 63 yr old disliked the sagging and sun damaged skin on her face that she felt aged her. She wanted facial rejuvenation. Dr. Kridel performed full face CO2 laser to resurface her skin and remove the fine wrinkles. She could have benefited from a facelift also but did not want to undergo surgery. Patient thrilled with results because she looks at least 15 years younger and she feels more confident and refreshed.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing to Face

As we get older our face shows signs of aging, such as sagging and jowls. Also, our skin ages due to sun damage over time. Full face CO2 laser is a non-surgical procedure that resurfaces your skin and can remove fine wrinkles, even around the mouth, as well as rejuvenate the skin so that it is smooth and without spots, like this patient. CO2 will tighten the skin some as well, but only a facelift can truly get rid of excess skin in the mid to lower face and neck area. Some patients, such as this 63 yr old, do not want to undergo facelift surgery and are happy with the results of CO2 laser resurfacing. Dr. Kridel is one of a few surgeons in Texas that perform CO2 laser resurfacing successfully.
