Fractional CO2 Laser
The Fractional CO2 Laser is highly attracted to the water present in our skin. When used, it promotes vaporization, leading to healing and increased collagen production, reducing traumatic scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, acne marks, and skin blemishes while promoting skin rejuvenation.
What are the advantages of Fractional CO2 Laser?
The Fractional CO2 Laser allows for small areas of undamaged skin, promoting rapid recovery and reducing side effects.
Recovery is typically quick and does not interfere with the patient’s daily activities.
What are the indications for Fractional CO2 Laser?
The Fractional CO2 Laser is indicated when remodeling the skin layers and stimulating collagen production is desired, along with reducing skin laxity and blemishes.
Main indications include:
- Acne scars;
- Open/dilated pores;
- Skin spots: hyperpigmentation and melasma;
- Stretch mark treatment;
- Rejuvenation/skin laxity reduction;
- Facial wrinkle treatment: fine wrinkles on the lips, forehead, and crow’s feet;
- Sun and age spot treatment: solar aging of the face, neck, chest, and hands.
HOW IS THE TREATMENT PERFORMED?
The laser is applied using a scanner that distributes the energy evenly over the skin surface.
The procedure is relatively quick, taking around 25 minutes depending on the area to be treated with the laser. Typically, 3 to 6 sessions are necessary to achieve the desired results.
IS ANESTHESIA NECESSARY?
The treatment is performed under local anesthesia or with sedation.
Post-treatment Care
The recovery time is quick, ranging from 3 to 7 days, and does not prevent work.
The main care measures to be taken after laser treatment are:
- Avoid sun exposure for 15 days after Fractional CO2 Laser application to prevent the appearance of blemishes;
- Use cold thermal water;
- Apply sunscreen with SPF 50+ to treated areas.
