CO2 Laser Treatments

CO2 lasers are a type of ablative laser that uses carbon dioxide gas to deliver short bursts of high-energy light to the skin. This helps in addressing deep wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections by removing layers of skin. The Rohrer Phoenix CO2 laser in particular is known for its precision and effectiveness in skin rejuvenation and resurfacing.

Aerolase® Laser Treatment

Aerolase® laser treatment, on the other hand, is a non-ablative laser that focuses on targeting specific skin concerns like acne, pigmentation, and vascular lesions. While it is gentle and suitable for various skin types, it DOES NOT provide the same level of skin resurfacing as CO2 lasers.

Laser Hair Removal

Unlike CO2 lasers that target skin imperfections, laser hair removal focuses on destroying hair follicles to reduce hair growth. While both treatments involve lasers, their targeted areas and outcomes differ significantly. The Rohrer Phoenix CO2 laser focuses on adjusting the appearance of the skin regardless of natural hair length or appearance.
