CO2 laser ablation uses a powerful infrared laser, absorbed by water in skin, to precisely vaporize thin layers of tissue, treating wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and growths by triggering collagen remodeling for smoother, tighter skin, delivered either fully (ablative) for dramatic results or fractionally (fractional) with less downtime, but requires numbing and has recovery risks like infection.
Dr Michael Kernohan, a specialist plastic surgeon in Sydney, performs this to address concerns like impaired vision or skin laxity. Below are before and after photos of his patients.
