Many people associate laser resurfacing with aggressive resurfacing, which simply evaporates the surface of the skin and lets everything heal and recover over many weeks. However, after decades of use, this technique has changed a lot.
Today, laser resurfacing is, in most cases, not total resurfacing, but rather a more modern option called fractional ablative resurfacing. This service is offered by 90% of beauty clinics.
Of course, technology does not stand still and is constantly evolving, especially since patients are becoming more demanding and prefer procedures with a minimum rehabilitation period and at the same time high efficiency. Laser equipment for cosmetology today has many capabilities that allow you to achieve certain goals quickly, minimally invasive and at the same time effectively.
Modern CO2 laser equipment has a wide range of indications and a large selection of various accessories for an individual approach. At the same time, the devices are very convenient and allow you to use them successfully even without many years of experience.
How the new CO2 works
Such equipment is equipped with a special technology that creates a microthermal zone on the skin, that is, the effect is produced not with a single beam, but with many microrays. The laser beam passes through a special grid that separates it.
This technology was created to reduce the aggressiveness of the impact and at the same time increase efficiency. The skin is damaged not over the entire area, but punctually. This is why rapid tissue restoration occurs after the procedure. Microrays evaporate old collagen fibers, pigmentation, scar tissue and wrinkles. The cells located around the destroyed areas begin to actively divide and restore themselves. Cellular immunity is activated, which begins to intensely produce collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and create new blood vessels. The skin becomes noticeably thicker. Stimulates all rejuvenating processes. At the same time, the damaged areas tighten and reduce the total skin area, producing a lifting (tightening) effect.
Advantages of fractional peeling
This procedure generally does not require local anesthesia (although it can be used if desired). Rehabilitation lasts an average of 10 days. Redness after the procedure lasts up to three days, then scabs form, which disappear on their own and without complications after a week.
The combination of microbeam technology with a certain radiation power and pulse duration allows this type of grinding to be used at any time of the year with a short rehabilitation and excellent results.
results
Fractional ablative rejuvenation significantly evens out skin color, increases turgor, eliminates wrinkles and makes skin wrinkles less pronounced. There is also a decrease in the width and depth of stretch marks and scars, including post-acne scars.
Thus, this method allows you to even out the texture of the skin, improve tone, eliminate age spots, scars, stretch marks and correct ptosis with a shorter rehabilitation than with classic laser rejuvenation.
