What is Fractional CO2 Laser?
Fractional CO2 laser is an skin resurfacing treatment that targets various skin concerns using laser technology. It emits laser beams through tiny microthermal zones to treat specific areas of the skin, promoting collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
This treatment is suitable for most skin types and offers a comprehensive solution for those looking to rejuvenate their skin and address multiple skin concerns in a non-invasive manner.
How Fractional CO2 Laser Works?
Fractional CO2 laser works by delivering thousands of tiny, microscopic laser beams to the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries in the targeted areas. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, leading to collagen production and skin renewal. The process involves the following steps:
Laser Emission
The laser emits light in a fractional pattern, creating microthermal zones that penetrate deep into the skin.
Microthermal Zones
These tiny beams of light create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process.
Collagen Stimulation
The micro-injuries promote the production of new collagen, a protein that is essential for maintaining the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Skin Resurfacing
As the skin heals, new, healthier skin cells replace the damaged ones, leading to improved skin texture and tone.
Targeted Treatment
The fractional approach ensures that only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, allowing for faster recovery and reduced downtime compared to traditional CO2 laser treatments.
