What is CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment?

CO2 fractional laser resurfacing is a technique in which carbon dioxide lasers precisely treat skin on the face, neck, or chest. Advanced Dermatology leverages the CO2RE (by Candela) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fractional Laser Resurfacing method. Unlike other laser treatments, this technique precisely targets small columns of skin with controlled damage, leaving surrounding areas untouched. This method stimulates your skin’s natural healing response to generate new, healthy cells and enhance collagen production.

If you’re looking for a nearby professional laser treatment, our offices serve patients throughout Chicago’s North Shore.

The post C02RE, CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment appeared first on Advanced Dermatology.

The CO2RE laser eyelid lift, which uses CO2 technology, is a minimally invasive procedure that can address various eye concerns, including wrinkles, sagging skin, and dark circles. This treatment utilizes laser energy to resurface the skin which stimulates collagen production resulting in smoother firmer skin around the eyes.

Why choose CO2RE laser eyelid lift for your holiday beauty boost? Here the top 3 advantages:

1. Non-Surgical Solution: CO2RE laser eyelid lift offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional eyelid surgery, providing impressive results with minimal downtime. This means you can enjoy the benefits of a refreshed look without the need for extensive recovery.

2. Precision and Customization: The CO2RE laser technology allows for precise targeting of specific areas, ensuring a tailored approach to your unique eye concerns.

3. Long-lasting Results: The collagen stimulation triggered by the CO2RE laser treatment continues to enhance your skin’s appearance over time, resulting in natural-looking, long-lasting results. Imagine entering the new year with renewed confidence and youthful eyes!

If you’re considering a CO2RE laser eyelid lift before the holidays, we invite you to call or text 847.459.6400 and schedule a consultation before the end of September in order to see results in time for the holidays!

Overview of Laser Treatment Removal for Wrinkles

Laser treatments are non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures that use laser technology to diminish the appearance of wrinkles. Laser technology works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are two proteins that help maintain skin elasticity and firmness.

Advanced Dermatology offers several different types of treatments. FractionatedCO2 (CO2RE) and Fraxel Dual which help improve skin pigment and texture. Additionally, eTwo is a treatment that uses radio-frequency energy to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, pores, and acne scarring. Another option is using botulinum toxin (BOTOX®) to help lessen the appearance of vertical bands that can appear on the neck.

CO2RE

The CO2RE (by Candela) Carbon Dioxide (C02) Fractional Laser Resurfacing removes layers of skin tissue in a fractionated method. This means columns of skin are removed leaving the skin surrounding each column intact to aid in healing. This method helps reduce “age-spots”, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and more. CO2RE is the best treatment if you wish to get the most results with one treatment.

Fraxel Dual

Fraxel® Laser Treatment is a laser therapy that produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of precisely wounded skin, known as microthermal zones (MTZ). This stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells to replace old, damaged cells. This treatment allows the skin to heal much faster. Fraxel® Laser Treatment works well on scars, deeper wrinkles, and sun damage. The technology is also safe to use on difficult areas such as the neck, arms, hands, and chest.

E2/eDuo

The eTwo treatment combines Sublative Rejuvenation (eMatrix Resurfacing) and Sublime Skin Contouring (formerly known as ReFirme) treatments. eTwo uses radio-frequency energy to deliver an effective fractional and tightening treatment to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, pores, and acne scarring. Three Sublime and 3 sublative (Ematrix) treatments are given once a month for 3 months. The two treatments are performed on the same day. Results are optimal one to three months after the final treatment. The eTwo treatment is excellent for skin of any color and has little down time or disruption of daily activities.

Botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin, commonly known as BOTOX®, is a cosmetic treatment used to reduce wrinkles. Botulinum toxin works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for the movements that create wrinkles. When we make facial expressions, the muscles in our face contract. Over time, these repeated muscle contractions can lead to the formation of wrinkles. Botulinum toxin can help to reduce the appearance of these wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles. The effects are temporary, but typically last for 3 to 6 months.

What Is Laser Sun Freckle Removal?

Laser freckle removal is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that targets and breaks down excess pigmentation in the skin. It works by delivering concentrated light energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This energy is absorbed by melanin, the pigment responsible for freckles and sun spots, also sometimes referred to as liver spots. Over time, the body naturally clears away the treated pigment. The result is a more even skin tone with fewer visible spots.

This treatment is safe, effective, and minimally invasive. It can be used on the face, chest, arms, hands, and other commonly affected areas. It is one of the most popular options for patients seeking sun spot removal without surgery or extended recovery time.

How Does Freckle Removal Treatment Work?

During a laser freckle removal session, a trained provider directs controlled pulses of light at targeted areas of the skin. The light energy is absorbed by the pigmented cells. This heats and breaks apart the melanin clusters that cause discoloration. The body’s lymphatic system then gradually flushes out the fragmented pigment. Treated spots may initially darken before fading over the following days and weeks.

The Benefits of Laser Freckle Removal

Laser freckle removal is a highly effective option for patients who want lasting improvement in their skin tone. It offers precision that other treatments cannot match. Here are some of the key benefits of laser freckle removal treatment:

• Precise Targeting: Lasers can focus on individual spots without affecting the surrounding skin.
• Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to their normal routine within a day or two after treatment.
• Long-Lasting Results: Once treated, freckles and sun spots typically do not return if proper sun protection is maintained.
• Versatile Treatment Areas: Laser treatments can address the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms.
• Works on Multiple Pigmentation Types: Effective for sun freckles, liver spots, and other forms of pigmentation.
• Customizable Approach: Providers can adjust the laser type and settings based on your skin tone and pigmentation severity.
• Boosts Overall Skin Quality: Many laser treatments also improve skin texture and tone in addition to freckle removal.

Freckle Removal Treatments at Advanced Dermatology

At Advanced Dermatology, we take a personalized approach to every patient’s skin. Our team evaluates your specific skin concerns before recommending a treatment plan. We offer topical therapies and advanced laser treatments to address freckles and sun spots at every severity level.

Topical Therapies for Sun Freckles

For patients with mild pigmentation or those looking to maintain results between procedures, topical therapies can be a great starting point. Prescription-strength hydroquinone combined with retinoids is a common option for fading surface-level discoloration. Over-the-counter options like SkinMedica Retinol Complex and SkinMedica Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Treatment are also effective for gradual fading. 

These topical treatments work best when paired with in-office procedures. Chemical peels such as the Cosmo Peel or Beta Peel can accelerate results by removing the outer layers of pigmented skin. Microdermabrasion treatments like DiamondGlow can enhance clarity and brightness.

Laser Freckle Removal Treatments

For more targeted or widespread pigmentation, laser freckle removal treatments offer powerful and lasting results. Our dermatologists use several advanced technologies and will recommend the right treatments based on your skin type, the extent of your freckles, and your goals.

• Q-Switched Laser: Ideal for isolated sun freckles or liver spots. This precise freckle laser removal treatment can often clear individual spots in just one to two sessions.
• IPL Photorejuvenation: A broad-spectrum light treatment that addresses widespread discoloration and uneven skin tone across larger areas.
• Fraxel Laser: A fractional resurfacing treatment that targets pigmentation while also improving skin texture and tone.
• Clear + Brilliant: A gentler option for patients with early or mild pigmentation concerns who want a refreshed, more radiant complexion.
• CO2RE Fractional CO2 Laser: A more comprehensive resurfacing option that addresses both pigmentation and skin texture in one treatment.

Understanding Sun Damage

Sun damage occurs from repeated, long-term exposure to UVA and UVB rays. Over time, this exposure breaks down collagen, disrupts pigmentation, and causes lasting changes to the skin’s texture and tone. The arms and chest are especially vulnerable because they receive significant sun exposure throughout a lifetime. Many patients notice these changes gradually and are surprised by how much improvement is possible with the right treatment.

Common Signs of Sun Damage on the Arms and Chest

Sun damaged skin on the arms and chest can show up in several ways. Common signs include brown spots, also called sun freckles or liver spots, as well as uneven skin tone and rough or leathery texture. Some patients also notice visible broken capillaries, fine lines, or areas where the skin appears thin and crepey. If any of these sound familiar, our team can help you explore your options. Learn more about the skin concerns we treat at Advanced Dermatology.

Sun Damage Treatment Options for Arms and Chest

At Advanced Dermatology, we offer several proven laser treatments for sun damaged skin on the arms and chest. Our dermatologists will evaluate your skin and recommend the approach that best fits your concerns and goals. Here is an overview of the treatments we offer.

Fraxel®

Fraxel is one of the most effective options for sun damaged skin on the arms and chest. It works by creating thousands of tiny, deep columns of treated skin called microthermal zones. The surrounding healthy skin remains intact, which allows for faster healing and gradual improvement. Fraxel targets brown spots and fine wrinkles caused by years of sun exposure.

Q-Switched Laser

The Q-switched laser is a targeted treatment for isolated brown spots and sun freckles on the arms and chest. It delivers an ultra-fast pulse of laser energy that breaks up pigment beneath the skin’s surface. The body then naturally absorbs and eliminates the released pigment over time. This treatment is a strong option for patients with a few specific areas of concern rather than widespread sun damage.

CO2RE Fractional Resurfacing

CO2RE Fractional Resurfacing is ideal for patients looking for significant improvement in a single treatment. It removes layers of skin in a fractionated pattern, leaving surrounding tissue intact to support faster healing. This treatment addresses brown spots, uneven texture, skin laxity, and thinned collagen all at once. It is one of the most comprehensive options available for sun damage on arms and chest.

Benefits of Sun Damage Treatments

Laser treatments for sun damaged skin offer more than cosmetic improvement. Patients often experience a wide range of benefits after completing their treatment plan, including:

• Reduced appearance of brown spots and sun freckles
• More even skin tone across the arms and chest
• Smoother, softer skin texture
• Diminished fine lines and early wrinkling caused by sun exposure
• Improved skin firmness and collagen production
• A clearer, more refreshed overall appearance

These results also give your skincare products a better foundation to work from. Read more about targeting brown spots and sun damage on our blog.

Protecting Skin From Future Sun Damage

Treating existing sun damage is only part of the equation. Protecting your skin going forward is just as important. We recommend incorporating a daily antioxidant serum into your routine to defend against future UV-related damage. Two of our top recommendations are Skinceuticals CE Ferulic and the Skinfo C Synergy Serum. These formulas neutralize free radicals caused by sun exposure and help preserve your treatment results over time. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is also essential, especially on the arms and chest.

Crow’s feet and under-eye wrinkles are often among the earliest signs of aging. These fine lines around the eyes form due to repeated facial movements, collagen loss, and environmental factors like sun exposure. At Advanced Dermatology, we offer non-surgical treatments designed to soften these lines and restore a refreshed, youthful look with little to no downtime.

What Are Crow’s Feet and Under-Eye Wrinkles?

Crow’s feet are fine lines that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes, typically caused by years of smiling, squinting, and expressive movement. Under-eye wrinkles often appear as crepey skin or hollowing under the eyes due to aging and volume loss. Because the skin around the eyes is delicate and thin, it’s especially prone to early wrinkling.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Crow’s Feet and Under-Eye Wrinkles

At Advanced Dermatology, we offer a variety of customized, minimally invasive treatments to help you reduce fine lines and maintain a bright, youthful appearance. Your personalized plan may include one or more of the following: 

• Botulinum Toxins (BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, Xeomin®, or Jeuveau®): These neurotoxins relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet, softening lines and preventing further creasing. Results typically appear within 3–7 days and last around 3–4 months.
• Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers help smooth out under-eye wrinkles and restore volume in hollow areas. They’re ideal for addressing static wrinkles and deeper creases.
• Laser Resurfacing (CO2RE, Fraxel®): Fractional lasers stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, and improve overall texture and tone. These treatments are safe for use around the delicate eye area when performed by our expert providers.
• Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): This collagen-inducing treatment uses tiny micro-injuries paired with your body’s own growth factors to rejuvenate and tighten the skin.

Chemical Peels: Specially formulated light peels can reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and address pigmentation around the eyes with minimal downtime.

How These Treatments Work

Each treatment option targets a different cause of eye-area wrinkles:

• Botulinum toxins reduce muscle activity to prevent deepening of expression lines. 
• Fillers plump areas of volume loss and smooth static wrinkles.
• Laser and microneedling treatments stimulate your body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin for firmer skin.
• Chemical peels encourage surface cell turnover and improve pigmentation and fine texture.

Our dermatologists may recommend a combination of treatments to achieve optimal, natural-looking results.

Benefits of Eye Wrinkle Treatments

• Softer, smoother skin around the eyes 
• Reduction in crow’s feet and under-eye wrinkles
• Brighter, more youthful appearance
• Minimally invasive options with little to no downtime
• Long-lasting results with a refreshed, natural look
• Personalized treatment plans based on your goals and skin type

How Do These Treatments Compare to Alternatives?

While eye creams and at-home tools can support hydration and improve minor texture issues, they can’t significantly reduce wrinkles. Surgical options like blepharoplasty deliver dramatic results but come with downtime and risks. Our non-surgical options offer effective, noticeable improvements without surgery—making them ideal for patients seeking safe, subtle enhancements.
