What are Laser Applications?
In CO2 laser systems, the target chromophore is water. It creates thermal damage by targeting the water in the tissue. Unlike the normal CO2 laser system, the fractional CO2 laser system opens microscopic columns on the skin. Cell migration from the healthy areas between the columns to the thermal damaged areas stimulates the synthesis of collagen and provides the restructuring and regeneration of the skin. With minimal damage to the skin surface, return to daily life after the procedure is instant.
In which situations is the fractional CO2 laser applied?
- Acne scars
- Scars
- Treatment of superficial and deep wrinkles
- Pore tightening
- Treatment of spots and loss of elasticity due to photoaging
- Treatment of color tone irregularities
- Treatment of stretch marks after pregnancy / weight gain and loss
FAQ
It is applied according to the parameters determined according to the degree of skin damage. It is the degree of damage to the skin that determines the duration of the session. Deep and more sessions are required on very worn, sagging, stained skin. This may prolong the recovery period. In cases where a quick return to daily life is expected, more superficial but prolonged sessions can be applied as an alternative. Session intervals are on average every 3-4 weeks. Redness and edema can be seen in the first 48-72 hours after the procedure. It is very important to use intense sunscreen and moisturizer in the post-procedure period to prevent possible staining. The effect of the procedure begins to be seen 1.5 months after the application, with the production of new collagen synthesis.
