Questions, answered

Texture, scars, fine lines, uneven skin, dark marks and pigmentation, enlarged pores, and overall tightness and dullness.

Numbing cream is applied first. You may feel brief, sharp pulses, then warmth and fullness afterwards.

Redness, warmth and mild swelling for a few days, with the skin feeling tight and rough before it settles around week two.

It depends on the depth treated. Some redness can linger from a couple of weeks to a few months.

We prepare the skin with barrier-strengthening care such as hydrating skincare, skin boosters and red light therapy.

Leave the exosomes on for at least 6 hours and use a hydrating mist as needed. Combining vascular laser and exosomes supports healing.

Expect redness, warmth and mild swelling for a few days. The skin can feel tight and slightly rough, like sandpaper, then settles around week two as smoothness and clarity improve. Some redness can linger for a couple of weeks to a few months. Leave the exosomes on for at least 6 hours and use a hydrating mist as needed. Healthy skin heals faster, which lowers the risk of pigmentation.

The CO2 laser splits one powerful beam into thousands of tiny beams, creating microscopic channels while leaving healthy skin in between. This triggers natural healing and new skin. The settings can be adjusted to treat different depths, so we can target surface concerns like pores or deeper issues like acne scarring.

We combine the laser with rose plant exosomes to support faster, more comfortable healing, calm the skin, reduce the risk of marks by controlling pigment activity, and support clearer, more even skin as it heals.

  • Surface concerns, like enlarged pores Milder settings tuned to the surface of the skin.
  • Deeper issues, like acne scarring Stronger settings adjusted to treat deeper layers. Settings are fully tailored to you.

CO2 stimulates repair, which can briefly stress the skin, so we prepare it beforehand with barrier-strengthening care like hydrating skincare, skin boosters and red light therapy. Healing is faster when your skin is healthy, which reduces the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation. We can support recovery and reduce that risk further by combining vascular laser and exosomes.
