How Long Does CO2 Laser Last: Answers to SmartSkin™ Laser FAQs (Updated 2023)

The first thing other people see when they look at you is your face. Sadly, as we age we wear our ‘wisdom’ there as a collection of wrinkles, age spots, and deep lines. Fortunately, I have been treating my patients with a nonsurgical technique to help them look younger than they are.

This breakthrough is called SmartSkin™ CO2. It’s a laser skin rejuvenation system that gives my Coeur d’Alene patients impressive results without plastic surgery, including the treatment of wrinkles, fine lines, skin laxity, and age spots. If you’re new to the SmartSkin CO2 laser system, you may have many questions, from how long CO2 laser results last to whether it really helps smooth out wrinkles. We’ll answer those questions and more in this blog post.

How long does CO2 laser rejuvenation last?

While results aren’t permanent with SmartSkin, most people enjoy younger-looking skin for several years. Some patients return for touch-up treatments after a few years to keep their skin supple and more youthful-looking. Others opt to have other nonsurgical treatments like microneedling to keep their skin looking smooth and firm between laser treatments.

You can also enhance your results by pairing SmartSkin Co2 with other laser procedures such as PrecisionTX®.

How long does a laser treatment take and when will I see results?

The SmartSkin CO2 procedure takes around 20 minutes, and the great results start almost immediately. Lasting results can be accomplished with just one treatment. Even the difficult upper and lower eyelid skin can be treated with this specialized laser.

How is laser skin rejuvenation done?

SmartSkin CO2 uses a fractionated laser and can be configured to target each patient’s specific needs, both with recovery and treatment areas. This means you get a say in how much downtime you will have with each treatment.

This “cosmetic breakthrough of the decade” can reach areas deep in your skin where sun damage and changes with aging have taken their toll. Your skin will soon be smoother, healthier, and younger-looking. As little as 5 days later you can go back to your normal routine. You can learn more about the treatment and recovery on AEDIT.

SmartSkin laser rejuvenation is versatile, addressing several signs of skin aging. It can achieve the following goals:

• Reduces deep lines & wrinkles
• Improves age & brown spots
