Who is a Candidate for CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
The best candidates for this procedure are men or women with healthy skin that have refrained or stopped from smoking and are in the process of taking care of their skin from the sun. Patients with darker skin may have a higher risk of pigment change and therefore it is important in when considering this procedure to have their skin treated prior to the procedure to help decrease the risk of pigment change. Certainly individuals that have taken acutane medicines may be more prone to scarring and are encouraged to stop this prior to considering laser resurfacing.
