Improve the appearance of your face with fractional CO2 laser technology

At our Comprehensive Health Clinic , as experts in aesthetic medicine, we are committed to offering increasingly sophisticated solutions for facial rejuvenation and treating skin imperfections. In this blog, we will discuss one of the most versatile and effective treatments: fractional CO2 laser therapy , which aims to treat scars, reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, and improve blemishes and pore size.

What type of lesions does CO2 laser aesthetic treatment treat?

The CO2 laser is used to treat various types of scars caused by acne, injuries, accidents, or surgery. However, as mentioned, the CO2 laser also improves skin tone, reduces wrinkles, and minimizes pore size. Its effect also stimulates collagen renewal, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin with a revitalized appearance. And, if all that weren’t enough, the CO2 laser combats sagging skin by providing a tightening effect.

What does CO2 laser treatment involve?

If you’re thinking that CO2 laser treatment is painful and invasive to achieve all these results, we’re happy to clarify that this isn’t the case. CO2 laser procedures are painless and performed on an outpatient basis. Furthermore, the sessions include the application of an analgesic to minimize any potential discomfort, or they can even be performed with local anesthesia. Simply put, this treatment involves applying small pulses of light to the area of skin being treated. This controlled treatment creates tiny microscopic wounds that heal quickly while stimulating collagen production. This allows the skin to regenerate and restore itself easily. To elaborate a bit, this laser heats the dermis to the point of water evaporation, thanks to the carbon dioxide gas. This removes the superficial layers of the skin. This same heat acts as a stimulus for the deeper layers, triggering the regeneration of collagen and elastin fibers.

How many sessions does a person require with the CO2 laser?

Thanks to this technology’s adjustable intensities, we, as specialists, can modulate the laser according to the patient’s skin type or existing blemishes. For this reason, there isn’t a single, fixed number of sessions that applies to all patients. Instead, we, as specialists, determine the number of sessions and specific details after evaluating each case. Each session lasts at least 20 minutes, and the recovery time varies from 2 to 7 days.

Where is CO2 laser treatment used? What parts of the body can benefit from it?

Generally, the technique is applied to the entire face , but it can also be used on specific areas such as:

• “Crow’s feet”.
• The upper lip of the mouth.
• The eyelids.
• The neck.
• The neckline.
• The back of the hands.

Furthermore, it can be applied to specific scars and stretch marks. In short, fractional CO2 laser is a widely used technique in aesthetic medicine for reducing skin aging, as well as for treating various skin lesions. This technique makes the skin look more attractive and healthy, replacing aged skin without the risks or complications associated with plastic surgery.
