Looking Younger is Easy with Fractional CO2 Laser Treatments
The fractional carbon dioxide (Fractional CO2) laser that regenerates the skin by opening small tunnels in the skin with laser light; It removes acne and scar, facial sagging and stretch marks. Successful results are obtained in skin renewal and rejuvenation procedures with fractional carbon dioxide laser, correction of wrinkles around the eyes and crow’s feet, removal of face and neck wrinkles, and rejuvenation of the skin on the hand.
The gold standard in dermatology
Fractional lasers are not uniform. In this group, the most effective fractional carbon dioxide laser. Carbon dioxide lasers started to be used in medicine in the late 90s. Previously, the application of this laser was not fractional, so the procedures of the patients were performed in the hospital environment. With the development of technology, it became fractional and presented to the use of medicine. Today, fractional carbon dioxide lasers are considered the gold standard in dermatology due to their usage area. It is the best device used to renew, tighten, rejuvenate the skin, treat spots, burns and acne scars and remove cracks on the whole body. Fractional carbon dioxide laser is more effective than the old lasers in terms of reaching the lower layers of the skin and improving the existing negative conditions.
3 technical features of carbon dioxide laser
- Fractional efficiency and 2Mhz radiofrequency power are combined in a single device.
- There are special needle cap options.
- Radiofrequency propagation is provided not only at the needle tip but also throughout the entire needle line.
Creates controlled damage and stimulates cells
These lasers create controlled damage to the skin and stimulate the reproduction of new cells. Human skin slows down the production of new cells starting from the mid-20s. Skin; it has a genetic memory for growth, maturation and aging. The basic logic in the treatment of unwanted scars and scars with skin rejuvenation procedures is to produce new cells for the skin. These lasers are given controlled stimuli to the skin to stimulate the underlying healthy cells that have become lazy and proliferate, problematic and damaged cells are destroyed, helping to produce healthier and younger cells again.
Surgical procedures are performed without bleeding
Fractional CO2 laser is also used to make interventions without bleeding and more comfortable during some surgical procedures. It is preferred in the removal of moles on the skin, in the treatment of warts and especially in the treatment of genital warts. It also works in the treatment of some skin cancers that develop due to the harmful rays of the sun over the years. It is two and a half times more effective than the old generation fractional erbium laser. The effect of the last generation fractional lasers is much more. On the other hand, while erbium lasers performing the same operations go down 4 microns from the skin, carbon dioxide lasers can be more effective by going down 10 microns.
It should be applied under the control of a specialist physician
After fractional carbon dioxide laser procedures, it was determined that 50-80% improvement was detected as a result of 4-6 sessions, which are usually performed depending on the person and duration. In some patients, very good results can be obtained in 2 sessions, while in some patients this can extend up to 8-10 sessions. The most important feature of fractional carbon dioxide laser is that after the procedure, patients should stay at home for 3-5 days for comfort and very rarely for 1 week. Because the sun and heat can delay healing. The procedures of patients who can pay attention to this issue can also be performed in the summer season. Fractional CO2 laser treatment should definitely be performed by plastic surgeons and dermatologists.
Application areas of the fractional CO2 laser
It has many uses, from skin spots to wrinkles, from acne to the treatment of burns and scars. Many effects can be seen with a single operation. For example, in the laser procedure for burns, an anti-aging effect also occurs. Thanks to this laser, some of the eyelid aesthetic procedures are carried out without any problems.
