Immediate Results

After your CO2 laser treatment, you may notice immediate improvements in your skin's texture and tone. However, these initial changes will continue to develop over the next several months as your skin heals and regenerates collagen. Typically, the full results become more visible around three to six months post-treatment.

Longevity of Results

The results from CO2 laser treatment can last anywhere from five to ten years, depending on factors such as skin type, age, and the degree of sun damage. While the procedure significantly reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and discoloration, ongoing skincare and possible follow-up appointments will be essential for maintaining a youthful appearance.

Importance of Post-Care Treatment

Proper post-care treatment after your Beleza Surgery session plays a crucial role in prolonging your results. Following our instructions for skincare, including sun protection and hydration, can help ensure your skin stays healthy and vibrant longer. Neglecting post-care can lead to premature aging, diminishing the benefits of your treatment.

Regular Maintenance

To maximize results, consider periodic skin resurfacing maintenance treatments. Many patients benefit from follow-up sessions or additional therapies, such as chemical peels or other laser treatments, every few years to enhance their results and keep the skin looking its best.
