I have been very impressed with the results of the fractional CO2 laser for full facial resurfacing as well as for concentrated efforts on the upper and lower eyelids. Patients who are excellent candidates for fractional CO2 laser include younger patients with fair skin who are not quite yet surgical candidates for either upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, facelift, or necklift.
Traditionally I have found that female patients in their late thirties and early forties who do not want aesthetic surgery and who are starting to develop skin laxity do great with these treatments in the areas of the eyelids, jowls, neck, and nasolabial folds.
Often these happy patients will return for their post-procedure appointments and say that their friends all ask, “Did you just get back from vacation?” or “You look so well rested”. I am very pleased with the results I am obtaining with the Mixto CO2 Laser and look forward to using it in conjunction with rhytidectomy in the months ahead.
