Treatments performed with the CO2 ablative fractional laser promote the skin’s natural regenerative processes, including the production of proteins that are responsible for skin tone and firmness. Thus, you can effectively get rid of cheek flabbiness, wrinkles as well as scars and other damage. When deciding on a CO2 fractional laser treatment, remember that the skin should not be tanned. For 10 days before the treatment, do not use retinol creams or take photosensitizing medications (calendula, St. John’s wort).
