CO2 Fractional Laser
What Is Fractional CO2 Laser?
The fractional CO2 laser is a fast and easy treatment, used by dermatologists or doctors for a fresher and almost perfect appearance, reducing and even eliminating wrinkles, blemishes, stretch marks, or scars.
What Does Fractional CO2 Laser Treat?
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is designed to create a healthier appearance by addressing various skin concerns:
- Stretch marks
- Solar aging of the face, neck, chest, and hands
- Hyperpigmentation and Melasma
- Scars from trauma or surgery
- Age spots
- Acne scars
- Loose skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Rough texture
- Oversized pores
How many sessions are necessary?
The number of sessions will depend on the severity of the scars, as well as the intensity of the treatment, and 1 to 3 sessions may be necessary in most cases.
How Is The Fractional CO2 Laser Procedure Performed?
The fractional CO2 laser is performed by applying a local anesthetic cream to the area to be treated 45 to 60 minutes before.
The average time for a complete fractional CO2 laser treatment of the face, neck, and chest is about 45 minutes.
After the Fractionated CO2 Laser Procedure
Since the fractional CO2 laser procedure introduces heat (via the laser) into the skin, it can take up to 3 weeks, patients will experience a period where their skin will appear slightly pink.
Fractional Co2 laser recovery time takes 5-7 days to heal.
What results does the CO2 fractional laser offer?
Magnificent results are seen from the first session, but since the collagen repair effect takes 3 to 4 weeks, it is at this time that the best results are seen.
The final results of the skin treatment will depend on the problem you are facing. But to maximize the results, a mask of stem cells and PRP-B (Platelet Rich Plasma in Bioactive Substances) is applied after the application of the CO2 laser.
