CO2 Fractional Laser
Fractional Laser is a popular cosmetic treatment that is used to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, age spots, and other skin imperfections. The treatment works by creating thousands of tiny microthermal zones in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing process and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
The CO2 Fractional Laser is a type of Fractional Laser that uses a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser to deliver precise pulses of energy to the skin. The laser works by vaporizing the top layer of the skin, which removes damaged and dead skin cells and promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
One of the main benefits of the CO2 Fractional Laser is that it can be used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Stretch marks
The CO2 Fractional Laser is also a versatile treatment that can be customized to meet the specific needs of each patient. Depending on the patient's skin type, concerns, and treatment goals, the laser can be adjusted to deliver different levels of energy and penetration depth.
During the treatment, the skin is numbed with a local anesthetic cream to minimize discomfort. The laser is then applied to the skin in a precise pattern, creating tiny columns of heat that penetrate the skin's surface. The treatment typically takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size and location of the treatment area.
After the treatment, the skin may appear red and swollen, and there may be some mild discomfort or itching. These side effects usually subside within a few days, and patients can return to their normal activities within a week.
Results
The results of CO2 Fractional Laser treatment are gradual and progressive, with most patients noticing a significant improvement in their skin's appearance within 1-2 months after the treatment. To achieve the best results, most patients will need a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Overall, the CO2 Fractional Laser is a safe and effective treatment option for patients looking to improve the appearance of their skin. However, like all cosmetic treatments, it is important to discuss the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes with a qualified and experienced cosmetic dermatologist before undergoing the treatment.
