CO2 FRACTIONAL LASER

CO2 fractional laser is a popular and effective treatment used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine to address various skin concerns. It's a form of laser resurfacing, which uses carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers to target specific layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.

The CO2 fractional laser is a highly effective treatment for skin resurfacing, addressing everything from wrinkles to acne scars. With the advancement of fractional technology, the procedure has become safer and more accessible, offering significant results with relatively manageable recovery times. However, like any procedure, it's important to consult a licensed professional to assess your skin type and concerns before undergoing treatment.

Benefits!

Minimal Downtime: Despite being a powerful resurfacing treatment, fractional CO2 lasers offer reduced downtime compared to traditional CO2 lasers.
Long-Lasting Results: The collagen stimulation leads to long-term skin improvement.
Precision: Targets specific skin areas without affecting the surrounding tissue, leading to more precise results.

What to Expect

Pre-Treatment: You may need to avoid certain products or medications leading up to the procedure, and your skin will typically be cleansed before the treatment.

Numbing: A topical numbing cream or local anesthesia is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Treatment Time: The procedure generally takes between 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the area being treated.

Recovery: Because it's a more aggressive treatment, recovery can take several days to a week, with redness, swelling, and peeling occurring as the skin heals.

Results: Visible improvements typically begin to show within a few days to a week, with optimal results seen after a few months as collagen production continues.

Aftercare

Moisturize: Keep the skin hydrated to support healing.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Sun protection is crucial to prevent pigmentation issues and further damage.

Gentle Skin Care: Use mild cleansers and avoid harsh skincare products during the recovery period.

Follow-Up: Additional sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

Fractional Technology:

Unlike traditional CO2 lasers, which treat the entire surface of the skin, fractional CO2 lasers deliver the laser energy in tiny, concentrated columns, leaving surrounding tissue intact. This allows for faster healing and reduces the risk of complications.

Skin Resurfacing:

The CO2 laser creates tiny channels in the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing process. The damaged skin is replaced by fresh, healthy tissue, improving texture, tone, and elasticity.

Collagen Stimulation:

The laser energy encourages the production of collagen, which helps in the rejuvenation of the skin, making it appear more youthful and smoother.

Common Uses

CO2 fractional lasers are used to treat a variety of skin concerns:

Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Reduces the appearance of aging signs.
Acne Scars: Helps improve the appearance of scars left by acne.
Sun Damage: Corrects hyperpigmentation and sunspots.
Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen to firm and tighten loose skin.
Uneven Skin Tone: Evens out pigmentation and skin texture.
Enlarged Pores: Minimizes the appearance of large pores.
Stretch Marks: Can help to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
