A study published in the July/August issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery finds that carbon dioxide laser resurfacing is an effective long-term treatment for facial wrinkles.
In carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, a laser blasts water molecules inside and outside of cells, which vaporizes the water and causes heat damage to the surrounding tissue. The skin’s response mechanism to this tissue damage is to produce more of the wrinkle-filling protein called collagen.
