Fractional CO2 laser with PRP
This combines fractional CO2 resurfacing with platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood. The laser is the main scar or resurfacing treatment; the possible added value of PRP should be considered separately.
Is it right for me?
You must be suitable for the laser treatment and for a blood draw. Blood disorders, medicines and previous healing problems should be reviewed.
Tell the clinician about cold sores, unusual scarring, pigment changes after injury, current medicines and recent procedures. Active infection or irritated skin may require treatment first.
Evidence and realistic expectations.
Small studies have examined PRP alongside resurfacing. The linked 30-person trial compared laser plus PRP with laser plus HA, and did not show a clear difference between them. It did not include a laser-only comparison.
That study cannot establish how much benefit PRP adds to laser alone. Do not assume that adding PRP improves every result or shortens recovery; it adds a blood draw, cost and its own risks.
Risks to understand.
Redness, swelling, infection, prolonged pigment change and scarring are possible. Your skin tone, previous reactions, current medicines and ability to follow aftercare influence suitability. Using your own blood does not remove all risk. Blood-draw bruising, injection soreness, infection and reactions to other materials used during the visit are possible.
What to expect.
Consultation
Discuss your concern, medical history, previous treatments and what you would like to preserve. Dr. Roy will explain suitable options, alternatives, risks and fees before you decide.
Treatment
A blood sample is processed during the appointment. After the planned laser treatment, PRP is used in the agreed manner and recovery instructions are provided.
Recovery
Plan for the recovery required by CO2 resurfacing. Adding PRP does not guarantee a shorter healing period or remove the risk of infection or pigment change.
Results and review
The skin response is assessed over months. A favorable result from a study does not predict an individual patient’s outcome.
Number of visits
The laser course follows the scar pattern, skin tolerance and healing. PRP is optional and should have a separate explanation of potential benefit and uncertainty.
