Rejuvenation, removal of undesired scars and stretching of weakened skin can be achieved thanks to the visible results and use of a fractional CO2 laser. This laser is new to the world in the production of lasers, and it combines the effect of invasive surgery with safe out-patient rejuvenation methods.
The results of treatment are long-lasting, and with proper care of the complexion may last for years. The fractional CO2 laser creates thousands of fine microscopic points on the skin divided by undisturbed sections of skin and stimulates its renewal and new formation. The result is a softer, smoother complexion.
Course of treatment with a fractional CO2 laser
This is fractional peeling or resurfacing (renewal of the skin’s surface) with the CO2 laser, which in the place of impact deeply overheats the skin. The system pours thousands of laser light rays onto the skin. The undisturbed area of the skin serves as storage area for rapid healing of tissue deliberately damaged by the laser.
During treatment the upper third of the skin is removed. The remaining two-thirds is affected by the heat. The renewal of cells begins from the area of skin untouched by the treatment. The thermal effect of the laser removes cells which correspond to pigment patches that arose as a result of aging.
Result and time of rejuvenation after treatment with a Fractional CO2 laser
The period of rejuvenation depends on the intensity of the laser rays and is typically 2 to 5 days. The treatment lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. The number of repeated treatments is individual, depending on the diagnosis of the skin, the depth of the wrinkles, elasticity of the skin, age and the like. The best results are achieved after 3-5 repeated treatments in a time range of 3-5 weeks.
