Actual RealSelf Patient Comment: General question here, would a co2 laser be okay for someone who is 27? Would it make me age faster lets say when im 45 due to the layers of skin being removed? I hate how my face is already starting to droop and lost volume. I want to do an aggresive laser to refresh my skin as well as tighten it. But, i dont want to make things worse when i am older!

Dr. Peresky’s Reply: If you are concerned about volume loss and sagging of facial skin, I would recommend treating you with collagen stimulating Sculptra injections. Make sure to choose an expert in Sculptra. CO2 lasering at your age would be helpful for early fine lines, scars, and discoloration. Enjoy your youth, nothing beats youth! Good luck and be well!
