What is CO2 fractional laser?
The CO2 fractional laser is a common exfoliative fractional laser. It is a safe, non-invasive and minimally invasive laser treatment that uses a scanning fractional laser beam(laser beams with a diameter of less than 500μm and regular arrangement of the laser beams in the form of fractions).
The treatment creates a burning zone in the epidermis consisting of an array of laser action points and intervals, each of which consists of a single or several high-energy laser pulses that penetrate directly into the dermis, based on the principle of focal photothermal action, so that the thermal stimulation of the arrangement of the points initiates the skin’s restoration process, which leads to epidermal regeneration, synthesis of new collagen fibres and remodelling of collagen, which produces a collagen fibre of approx. 1/3 of the contraction of collagen fibres under the action of laser, fine wrinkles are flattened, deep wrinkles become lighter and thinner, and the skin become firm and glossy, so as to achieve the purpose of skin rejuvenation such as reducing wrinkles, skin tightening, pore size reduction and skin texture improvement.
Advantages over non-fractional lasers include less damage, faster patient recovery after treatment, and less downtime. Our system is equipped with a high-speed graphic scanner that scans and outputs different shapes to provide personalized treatment plans according to the needs of different patients.
The main role and advantages of CO2 fractional laser
With zero anaesthesia for surgical treatment, it takes only 5-10 minutes to complete the precise positioning of the laser without pain or bleeding, and the CO2 fractional laser technology, which is characterized by rapid focusing and improvement of skin problems, works on the simple principle of the CO2 laser’s action on the tissues, that is, the action of water.
The main effects are divided into the following points:
Effectively avoiding side effects such as thermal damage, and also promotes skin healing.
Stimulate skin self-repair, to achieve skin tightening, skin rejuvenation, pigmentation removal, scarring repair, part of the normal skin can be safeguarded and accelerate skin recovery.
It can quickly improve the skin texture, tighten the skin, improve the enlarged pores, and make the skin as smooth and delicate as water.
Using a single artistic and comprehensive treatment, the clinical and cosmetic effects can be more precisely controlled, and the results achieved are more significant and precise, with a shorter recovery time.
Indications for CO2 fractional laser
Various kinds of scar: trauma scar, burn scar, suture scar, discolouration, ichthyosis, chilblains, erythema and so on.
All kinds of wrinkle scars: acne, facial and forehead wrinkles, joint folds, stretch marks, eyelids, crow’s feet and other fine lines around the eyes, dry lines, etc.
Pigmented lesions: freckles, sun spots, age spots, chloasma, etc. As well as vascular leision, capillary hyperplasia and rosacea.
Photo-aging: wrinkles, rough skin, enlarged pores, pigmented spots, etc.
Facial roughness and dullness: shrinking large pores, eliminating fine facial wrinkles, and making the skin smoother, more delicate, and more elastic.
Contraindications to CO2 Fractional Laser
Severe diabetics, hypertension, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and those who are allergic to light
Active infections (mainly herpes virus infections), recent sun tanners (especially within 4 weeks), active skin inflammatory reactions, manifestations of skin barrier damage (e.g., manifested by increased skin sensitivity), those with suspected malignant lesions in the treatment area, those with organic lesions in important organs, pregnant and breastfeeding females, patients with psychiatric disorders, and those who have had other laser treatments within 3 months.
Recently there are new closed mouth acne, new red acne, skin sensitivity and redness on the face.
