Who Is a Good Candidate for a CO2 Laser Facial?
A good candidate for a CO2 laser facial is someone who has noticeable skin concerns such as deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, or uneven skin texture, and who is looking for significant improvement with a single treatment. This treatment is especially beneficial for individuals with fair to medium skin tones, as darker skin tones may have a higher risk of pigmentation changes following the procedure. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.
It’s important to note that individuals with active acne, certain skin infections, or a history of keloid scarring may not be ideal candidates for a CO2 laser facial. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are typically advised to avoid laser treatments. A consultation with a qualified provider is essential to determine whether a CO2 laser facial is the right treatment for your specific skin type and concerns. The provider will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and review your medical history to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.
