Laser Skin Resurfacing (CO2)Before & After Pictures

This patient decided to pursue an extended deep plane face and neck lift in conjunction with blepharoplasty and CO2 laser resurfacing. She said for the past several years, she not only looked aged, but she also didn't want to look into the mirror any longer. She was having a problem deciding to have something done because she felt guilty of taking care of herself or treating herself but finally decided to and received the support of her husband. Her sister-in-law had a deep plane facelift with Dr. Williams and this patient decided it was finally her time. She was very bothered by her neck as well as the wrinkling, jowling, and sagging around her mouth. She felt like she looked sad all the time. Here she is 2 months out from facelift surgery and laser resurfacing. There is considerable improvement in the wrinkling in her face and she feels she looks 20 years younger. She is thrilled because she looks so natural and she is now taking really good care of her skin.

This patient had a full face CO2 Laser treatment because of the deep lines and wrinkling. As you can see the skin has been tightened and has a smooth finished appearance Notice the deep crevices in the perioral area (mouth area) and the nasalabial folds (brackets on side of nose to along side of mouth). After having treatment with the CO2 Laser, you can see the improvement. Note the deep lines and how they have greatly diminished.

For deeper wrinkles the CO2 Laser is very effective. The laser removes the surface layer of the skin and the healing process can take a few weeks. Redness from this laser can last for a number of months. This patient also had fat transfers. The volume replacement from loss of fat and the tightening of the skin is what gave this patient the results seen. Carbon Dioxide laser treatment and full face fat transfers were preformed on this patient. For deeper wrinkles the CO2 Laser is very effective.
