Combining CO2 Laser and NCTF Injections

Achieving radiant, youthful skin is more attainable than ever, thanks to advancements in aesthetic treatments. Among the most transformative approaches today is combining CO2 laser and NCTF injections, a synergy that offers unparalleled results for skin rejuvenation. Together, these treatments tackle a range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to uneven tone and texture, delivering a refreshed and revitalised complexion.

Why Combine CO2 Laser and NCTF Injections?

The CO2 laser and NCTF (New Cellular Treatment Factor) injections work in harmony to enhance your skin’s overall health and appearance.

CO2 Laser: Known for its ability to resurface the skin, the CO2 laser treatment uses fractional technology to target damaged areas with precision. It stimulates collagen production, reducing wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation while improving skin texture.

NCTF Injections: Comprising a blend of hyaluronic acid and over 50 revitalising ingredients, including vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants, NCTF injections hydrate and nourish the skin from within. They promote cell regeneration, enhance elasticity, and provide a natural glow.

By combining these treatments, the laser prepares the skin to absorb the NCTF solution more effectively, amplifying its rejuvenating effects.

The Benefits of This Synergistic Approach

Enhanced Skin Renewal: The CO2 laser creates controlled micro-injuries, encouraging the skin to regenerate while allowing the NCTF injections to deeply penetrate and revitalise.

Improved Texture and Tone: Together, these treatments smooth uneven surfaces, brighten dull skin, and pigmentation treatment for a more even complexion.

Deep Hydration and Anti-Ageing: While the laser addresses structural issues like wrinkles and scars, NCTF injections restore hydration and replenish essential nutrients, reducing visible signs of ageing.

Long-Lasting Results: The combination provides cumulative benefits, with results improving over time as collagen levels increase and the skin becomes healthier.

What to Expect from the Treatment

The procedure begins with the CO2 laser treatment, which resurfaces the skin and creates the ideal environment for the NCTF injections. Following the laser, the nutrient-rich solution is delivered through microinjections to targeted areas, ensuring maximum absorption and effectiveness.

The downtime for this combination is minimal, though mild redness and sensitivity may occur for a few days after treatment. Our doctros and practitioners will provide aftercare guidance to help you achieve optimal results.

Combining CO2 Laser and NCTF Injections for Superior Skin Rejuvenation

This innovative pairing is revolutionising the world of aesthetics, offering a powerful, non-surgical solution to ageing and skin damage. Combining CO2 laser and NCTF injections provides an unmatched boost to skin health, hydration, and radiance, making it the ultimate choice for those seeking to revitalise their complexion and achieve lasting results.

FAQs

  • What products should I avoid after a CO2 laser?

    After a CO2 laser treatment, it’s essential to avoid any products that could irritate your skin while it heals. This includes exfoliating acids like AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids, as they can increase sensitivity and slow the recovery process. You should also steer clear of harsh scrubs or abrasive cleansers. Instead, stick to gentle, hydrating products recommended by your practitioner, and always use a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

  • Can you combine CO2 laser and microneedling?

    While both CO2 laser and microneedling are excellent skin treatments, they’re usually not performed together in the same session as they both create controlled skin injuries. Combining them too closely could overwhelm the skin and hinder the healing process. However, they can be part of a larger treatment plan, where microneedling is used in the weeks following CO2 laser to further enhance collagen production and skin renewal. Your practitioner can advise on the best timing for combining these treatments safely.

  • Can you do IPL and CO2 laser together?

    IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and CO2 laser treatments can complement each other, but they’re typically performed in separate sessions. The CO2 laser focuses on resurfacing the skin and addressing deeper issues like wrinkles and scars, while IPL is more effective for targeting pigmentation, redness, and superficial concerns. When done as part of a tailored treatment plan, these two methods can achieve remarkable results, but it’s crucial to follow your practitioner’s advice on the timing and sequence of treatments.
