FAQ
What Is The Principle Of A Fractional CO2 Laser Machine?
The fractional CO2 laser emits high-energy light at a wavelength of 10,600 nanometers, which is absorbed by water in the skin tissue. This creates microscopic holes in a grid-like pattern, triggering the body's natural healing response. The process stimulates new collagen and elastin production, leading to the replacement of damaged skin with healthy skin. The fractional laser works on the principle of selective photothermolysis, precisely directing the laser beam at selected areas of the skin, leading to tissue coagulation, protein denaturation, and tissue vaporization while sparing surrounding areas.
What Are The Advantages Of Using A Fractional CO2 Laser Machine?
The advantages include effective results from the first session, practically painless treatment, rapid healing within 6 days, and minimal disruption to social and professional activities. The treatment promotes significant skin rejuvenation by boosting collagen production, improving skin texture, elasticity, and tone. It also reduces enlarged pores and dark spots from sun damage, with results lasting for months or even years.
What Are The Applications Of A Fractional CO2 Laser Machine?
Fractional CO2 laser machines are used for skin resurfacing, scar removal, anti-aging, and skin rejuvenation. They can also treat the neck (with caution due to scarring risk), décolleté, and hands. Additionally, they are effective for gynecological treatments and improving skin texture, elasticity, and tone.
What Are The Potential Risks Of Using A Fractional CO2 Laser Machine?
Potential risks include post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (skin darkening), hypopigmentation (skin lightening), superficial breakouts of cold sores, or scarring. Infection is rare, but viral herpes infections can occur. Patients are given anti-viral medication preventatively. Strict skin care guidelines must be followed to minimize risks.
How Does A Fractional CO2 Laser Machine Promote Skin Rejuvenation?
The treatment promotes significant skin rejuvenation by boosting collagen production, improving skin texture, elasticity, and tone. It also reduces enlarged pores and dark spots from sun damage, with results lasting for months or even years.
