most popular laser treatments for laser resurfacing

 Principle:

Fractional co2 laser is a revolutionary advances base on fractional photothermolysis theory, and shows a unique advantages in a short period of time.fractional laser generate tiny beam of light like arrangement, acting on the skin to form a plurality of three-dimensional columnar structure tiny thermal damage zone, called microscopic treatment zones,MTZ. Diameter is 50-150μm, depth 500-1000μm, difficult from traditional exfoliative laser produce sheet heat injury, around every MTZ has whole normal tissue, Keratinocytes can quickly crawl, MTZ healed quickly, without leave, exfoliative treatment risks.  

This machine adopts CO2 laser technology and precise control of the scan technology, using the CO2 laser’s heat penetrating action, in the guidance of the scan precise scanning, 0.12mm diameter thin minimally invasive aperture was formed  by lattice-shaped on the skin. Skin in the effect of the laser energy and heat, wrinkle or scar tissue was uniform gasified instantaneous and formed minimally invasive hole as the center of the micro-heating zone, so as to stimulate the skin synthesize a large number of new collagen tissue. and thus start the tissue repair, collagen rearrangement of a series of body's natural healing mechanisms. Fresh collagen random regenerate, make the treated area of skin becomes smooth, firm, elastic, pores shrink, wrinkle reduction , bags under the eyes disappear, the pigmentation disappear, superficial scar calm, skin texture and skin color gradually improved significantly.

During the treatment, the skin tissue water absorb laser energy, gasification formed of a plurality of columnar structure small damage region, slight damage zone collagen contraction hyperplasia, and no effect skin tissue can be used as the thermal diffusion region to avoid the side effects of thermal damage,  promote the healing of the skin faster at the same time, to achieve skin tightening, skin rejuvenation and improve scars, shrink pores purpose.

      Fractional laser targeted tissue is water,  so treated skin color is not selective, another advantage of fractional laser is the original energy intensive spot dispersed into the tens to hundreds of small focal spot, only for the minimally invasive treatment of skin lesions, does not affect the normal skin tissue, the patient's pain greatly reduced, also reduce the side effects of laser therapy, treatment and maintenance of patients are more precise , safe and more secure.

FAQ:

1.What is a co2 laser fractional treatment?
  Co2 fractional laser is a revolutionary laser treatment that helps you to remove years from your appearance. It is the pioneer of "fractional photothermolysis", a technology in which thousands of microscopic laser columns - each just one-tenth the diameter of a hair follicle - treat a fraction of the skin at a time without affecting the surrounding tissue. These laser columns stimulate the production of younger, smoother, healthier skin to replace damaged tissue.

2.How is co2 fractional laser treatment different from other laser skin rejuvenation procedures?
  Traditionally, two kinds of laser treatment have been available for cosmetic skin treatment: ablative and non-ablative. Typical ablative treatments, which use a high temperature to vaporize unwanted tissue, can be effective—but with significant side effects and several weeks of recovery time. Non-ablative treatments, meanwhile, have very few side effects and low downtime, but they commonly require numerous treatments to produce more modest results.
  Co2 fractional laser treatment delivers the potency of ablative treatments with the gentle safety of non-ablative lasers. So you get the best of both worlds: dramatic results and less downtime.
  As non-ablative laser treatments, co2 fractional laser non-ablative treatments can improve mild to moderate skin damage with little to no downtime.

3.what precautions should I take after a co2 fractional laser treatment?
  Follow your physician’s advice on wound care, which is essential for your skin to heal properly. Wear sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, avoid direct sun exposure for at least 3 months after your last treatment, and wear a wide-brimmed hat when you’re in the sun.

4.How long do the positive effects of a co2 fractional laser treatment last?
  It depends on your particular condition and how you care for your skin. Once your skin is treated, continue to protect it as described above. Your physician will give you specific advice based on your individual needs.

5.Does co2 fractional laser treatment hurt?
  Most patients describe a "prickling" sensation during treatment. To minimize discomfort, topical anesthesia is applied before the procedure and cold air is used on the treatment area during the procedure. After the treatment, most patients feel like they have a sunburn, which usually diminishes in 1 to 3 hours.

6.What are the benefits of co2 fractional laser treatment?
  Smoother, fresher, younger-looking looking skin
  Improved tone and texture
  Erasing of unwanted brown spots
  Reduced fine lines around the eyes

7.What side effects can I expect after treatment and how long will they last?
  Swelling and redness are the most common side effects from co2 laser treatment. Any swelling is typically minimal and subsides within a day or two, and any redness typically fades within a few days. Other temporary side effects may include minor itching, dry skin, peeling or flaking, and a bronzed skin appearance. There is a very limited risk of infection, hyperpigmentation, or scarring. The intensity and duration of side effects depend on the aggressiveness of treatment and on your particular healing characteristics. Your physician will provide specific instructions about what to expect and how to minimize any side effects.
