- The Affirm™CO2 is a laser anti-aging treatment manufactured by Cynosure. It safely and effectively treats wrinkles, sun-damaged skin and overall skin texture. Below are answers to some of the most common patient questions.
-
- How does it work?
-
- Cosmetic laser treatments reverse the signs of aging and sun-damaged skin by stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue tightening.
-
- Am I a candidate?
-
- If your skin is showing signs of aging, then you are a candidate for laser treatment. Your practitioner can help you determine your specific needs.
-
- Are there any side effects to treatment?
-
- Laser anti-aging treatment should cause only minimal discomfort with a topical anesthetic. Any redness, swelling or puffiness that occurs can be gone within a week, if not a few days.
-
- How many laser anti-aging treatments are required?
-
- Results vary with each case. Patients may require anywhere from two to six treatments to achieve desired results. Each session will last from 30 to 60 minutes.
-
- How long do results last?
-
- Just like the aging process itself, this varies from person to person. However, if you take steps to protect and preserve your freshly laser rejuvenated skin - such as using SPF sunscreen, facial cleansers and creams - the results will last longer.
