CO2 Laser With Exosomes In Seattle, Bellevue, & Kirkland

The quest for youthful, radiant skin has driven advancements in aesthetics, and one of the most innovative combinations today is CO2 laser with exosomes. This powerful duo is transforming our approach under eye rejuvenation, offering a minimally invasive solution for issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. PRP In Seattle has made this unique and revolutionary treatment available to patients in the Seattle, Bellevue, and Kirkland areas.

What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing is a widely recognized procedure in the field of aesthetic medicine. It uses carbon dioxide laser technology to deliver short, concentrated pulses of light to the skin. These pulses vaporize the outer layers of damaged skin, stimulating collagen production and revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin underneath. While the technique is effective across various areas of the face and body, the delicate under eye area has particularly benefited from its precision and efficacy.

The under eye region is prone to signs of aging due to thinner skin, reduced collagen production, and repetitive muscle movements. This can lead to wrinkles, hollowness, and dark circles. CO2 laser resurfacing specifically targets these concerns by improving skin texture, firmness, and tone.

Ablative vs. Non-Ablative Lasers

CO2 lasers are versatile tools that can be adjusted to match a patient’s needs. They also vary in their specific strengths and uses. For example, ablative lasers are surgical and usually performed under some form of sedation—full general anesthesia or twilight anesthesia. An ablative CO2 laser procedure addresses the deeper levels of the skin and will require a recovery period.

Non-ablative lasers treat only the upper layers of skin. They are still highly effective and often considered a more aggressive treatment than other medical aesthetic treatments such as chemical peels or microneedling. Non-ablative lasers do not require sedation, but topical and local anesthesia may be used to keep patients comfortable during the treatment.

Exosomes can be applied after either treatment, but tend to have a larger effect following ablative laser resurfacing. Your provider can discuss the right option for you based on your skin goals and medical history during a consultation.

How Do Exosomes Enhance the Results?

Exosomes are tiny, extracellular vesicles derived from stem cells. They play a crucial role in cell communication and tissue repair, carrying essential growth factors, proteins, and RNA to damaged cells. When combined with CO2 laser resurfacing, exosomes accelerate the healing process, enhance skin regeneration, and amplify the overall results.

A 2022 study published in The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology highlights the benefits of laser resurfacing with exosomes. The research demonstrates that patients who received exosome therapy post-laser treatment experienced faster recovery times, reduced inflammation, and superior skin rejuvenation compared to those who underwent laser treatment alone.

For the under eye area, this synergy is particularly impactful. Exosomes mitigate common post-treatment side effects such as redness and swelling while promoting smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

Understanding Exosomes 

This IV exosome product takes advantage of extracellular vesicles’ healing and communication benefits, eliminating the need for traditional stem cell procedures. Each batch contains around 5  trillion of thoroughly refined exosomes. They are generated through an advanced, carefully regulated method that adheres to strict safety and quality benchmarks. By maintaining the vesicles’ integrity and biological activity, this formulation provides an enriched assortment of proteins, lipids, and key genetic elements—like microRNAs and growth factors—that aid in cellular function and tissue repair. Extensive testing ensures both purity and efficacy, significantly reducing the presence of impurities or unintended substances. In short, it serves as a reliable IV therapy option for anyone seeking the advantages of exosome treatments while upholding stringent standards.

The Procedure: What to Expect

The combination of a CO2 laser with exosomes is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Here is a step-by-step overview:

1. Consultation: Your provider will assess your skin concerns, medical history, and suitability for the treatment.
2. Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. Depending on the specifics of the treatment, your provider may also prescribe or administer a light sedative.
3. CO2 Laser Treatment: The laser is carefully applied to the under eye area, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. It can be used to treat other areas at the same time.
4. Exosome Application: Immediately following the laser treatment, a serum containing exosomes is applied to the treated area. These exosomes penetrate deeply into the skin, enhancing the healing and rejuvenation process.
5. Post-Treatment Care: A tailored aftercare routine will be recommended to optimize results and protect the skin during recovery. Some common recommendations include:
   • Avoid sun exposure; wear hats, apply sunscreen, and wear protective clothing if necessary.
   • Do not partake in strenuous exercise. Sweating can irritate the skin and make certain complications such as infection more likely.
   • Apply only what your provider provides or approves to the skin.
   • Attend post-treatment appointments.

Benefits of CO2 Laser with Exosomes for the Under Eye Area

1. Improved Skin Texture: The laser promotes collagen production, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Brighter Complexion: Exosomes target pigmentation issues, reducing the appearance of dark circles.
3. Faster Recovery: Exosomes minimize downtime by accelerating skin healing.
4. Long-Lasting Results: The combined approach yields more dramatic and enduring improvements compared to laser treatment alone.
5. Minimized Side Effects: The anti-inflammatory properties of exosomes reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort.

While the under eye area often receives the spotlight, this treatment can also be used on other areas of the face, neck, and hands to address signs of aging and sun damage.

Ideal Candidates for the Treatment

This treatment is suitable for individuals looking to rejuvenate their under eye area without undergoing invasive surgery. Ideal candidates typically:

• Have fine lines, wrinkles, or crepey skin under the eyes.
• Experience dark circles or discoloration.
• Are in good overall health with realistic expectations about the results.

It’s essential to consult with a qualified provider to determine whether this treatment aligns with your skin type and goals. Schedule a consultation with a provider at PRP In Seattle to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

Post-Treatment Recovery and Results

One of the standout benefits of CO2 laser with exosomes is the significantly reduced recovery time. Patients may experience mild redness and swelling for 1-2 days, but these effects are typically less pronounced due to the soothing and reparative properties of exosomes.

Visible improvements, including smoother texture and reduced pigmentation, can often be seen within a week, with full results emerging over the next few months as collagen production increases.
