What is the cost for co2 laser resurfacing

CO2 laser resurfacing can offer men and women amazing benefits, helping to remove wrinkles, scars and other signs of aging while promoting healthy collagen development. But like other cosmetic treatments, most insurance companies won't cover any of the associated costs. It's understandable, then, that when it comes to deciding on a treatment provider, one of the first considerations is cost.

The Cost of CO2 Laser Resurfacing

The problem is, when it comes to determining the cost of CO2 laser resurfacing, lots of variables come into play. While it's somewhat easier to estimate the cost of fillers of BOTOX treatment based on the areas being treated and the number of units or vials required, laser treatments are much more subjective and pricing is based on an overall evaluation of the treatment area, the surrounding regions, the patient's expectations and many other variables. Pricing can also vary by geographic region and from practice to practice.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of laser resurfacing was about $2,200 in 2014, the latest year for which cost data is available. But that's just the doctor's fee – it doesn't include numbing agents or anesthesia, the assistant's fee, medications used during or after the procedure, or any facility-associated fees. And again, that fee can be higher or lower, depending upon the extent of the treatment area and other variable.

Affording Your Treatment

As with any medical procedure, it's important not to make cost the focus of your choice when looking for a treatment provider. A practitioner with extensive skills and experience may be slightly more costly than competitors with less expertise, but because any type of medical procedure can have risks and complications, this is not an area where you want to skimp. In the hands of a really skilled treatment provider, CO2 laser resurfacing can offer amazing results with a high degree of precision and far fewer risks and potential complications.
