Precautions for CO2 laser treatment

The treatment effect of CO2 laser is particularly good, and the safety is relatively high. It will not cause any damage to the skin, but also achieve the ideal treatment effect. The CO2 laser can not only treat acne pits but also effectively remove flat warts and condyloma acuminatum. During the treatment, anesthesia can be applied locally, and then the laser can be applied locally. CO2 laser usually uses a photothermal reaction to rapidly increase the local skin temperature and cause coagulation necrosis, even carbonization or gasification.
