What is CO2 Laser treatment?
Fractional CO2 Laser treatments can make skin look younger, feel smoother, and become firmer. This innovative technique uses tiny beams of light to penetrate the skin’s surface and reach deeper layers. It is increasingly popular for addressing issues like acne scarring, sun damage, and wrinkles. The fractional CO2 laser offers a non-invasive solution with impressive results.
Touted as one of the best non-invasive anti-aging treatments available, the fractional CO2 laser provides safe and effective skin resurfacing. The laser works by directing tiny beams of light into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process and boosting collagen production. Unlike older CO2 lasers that treated the entire surface of the skin, this fractional technology targets only about 30% of the skin at a time. This approach leaves the surrounding skin untreated, which helps achieve better results and significantly reduces healing time to just a few days, compared to the longer recovery periods associated with older laser treatments.
Is CO2 Laser Treatment suitable for me ?
CO2 Laser skin resurfacing is effective in treating various skin flaws and imperfections, such as:
- Age spots
- Dull complexion
- Uneven pigmentation
- Irregular skin texture
- Sagging
- Scarring
- Sun damage
- Wrinkles
However, treatment with CO2 lasers, being more aggressive, can sometimes lead to hyperpigmentation. Therefore, it is generally not recommended for patients with darker skin tones.
What is the process for CO2 Laser Laser treatment ?
The CO2 Laser Resurfacing procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the extent of the treatment area. Before the procedure begins, you'll be administered medication to numb the specific area being treated. If the resurfacing covers a large portion of the face or involves multiple areas, sedation may be provided to ensure your comfort.
During the procedure, your doctor will use a specialized handpiece to deliver a focused beam of intense laser energy to the targeted area. This laser beam precisely removes the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying dermal layer. The controlled heating of the dermis stimulates collagen production, which helps to rejuvenate and tighten the skin.
After the laser treatment is completed, the treated area is typically covered with a water-resistant and airtight dressing. This dressing helps protect the skin as it begins to heal, reduce the risk of infection, and retain moisture to promote faster recovery.
