Fractional CO2 Lazer

A Fractional CO2 Laser is a type of laser that uses carbon dioxide (CO2) to treat skin issues by creating microscopic wounds in the skin's surface. This treatment stimulates the skin's natural healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and skin renewal. The term "fractional" refers to the method of delivering the laser energy in a grid-like pattern, affecting only a fraction of the skin at a time. Key Features: 1. Wavelength: The CO2 laser emits light at a wavelength of 10,600 nm, which is highly absorbed by water in the skin, making it effective for skin resurfacing. 2. Fractional Technology: The laser is divided into numerous tiny beams that create micro-injuries to the skin, leaving surrounding tissue unaffected. This promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of scarring compared to traditional ablative lasers. 3. Depth of Penetration: It can target both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, making it effective for treating a variety of skin concerns, from fine lines to deeper wrinkles or scars. Common Applications: Skin Resurfacing: Improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and treats sun damage. Scar Treatment: Helps reduce the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin. Pigmentation Issues: Treats age spots, melasma, and sun spots. Acne: Helps reduce the appearance of active acne and scars. Benefits: Minimal Downtime: Since only a fraction of the skin is treated at once, healing is faster compared to full-field ablative laser treatments. Collagen Stimulation: Encourages the formation of new collagen, improving skin elasticity and texture over time. Precision: The fractional approach provides more controlled and uniform results with reduced risk of side effects.
