CO2 Laser
A specific mid-infrared wavelength of light is produced by the carbon dioxide laser. This
makes it possible for its laser energy to be effectively absorbed in water.
In fact, CO2 lasers are perfect for accurate and safe ablation for a variety of skin issues,
including milia removal, wart removal, and the treatment of acne scars. CO2 lasers are part
of a laser resurfacing process. The laser emits energy of a wavelength of 10,600 nanometers.
Water within the skin cells absorbs this type of wavelength, resulting in the ablation of the superficial layer of the skin. The CO2 Fractional Resurfacing laser uses carbon dioxide to precisely remove the damaged skin’s outermost layers while promoting the regrowth of healthy skin beneath. The CO2 reduces superficial to somewhat deep wrinkles, scarring, photodamage, creepiness, and laxity of the skin.
FAQ
Although the precise time varies on the area being treated, it usually takes two hours or less to finish.
This period of time includes an extra 30 minutes for topical numbing to be used before the procedure.
The CO2 laser procedure is the most intrusive one available.
Although the co2 does cause some discomfort, we take care to keep our patients at ease throughout the entire process.
The sensation that is frequently experienced is comparable to “pins and needles.”
The period during which your skin appears slightly pink after it has healed, which could take up to 3 weeks, is experienced by patients. You will notice changes in the texture and tone of your skin during this time. After the skin has fully recovered from the original procedure, full effects can be observed in 3 to 6 months.
Long after a CO2 laser therapy, improvements can still be observed. With rigorous application of SPF+, avoidance of sun exposure, and the proper at- home skincare maintenance, results can be prolonged.
Benefits of Chemical Peel on Face
A gentle chemical peel reduces the visibility of fine wrinkles while enhancing skin tone and texture.
Though slight, the effects are stronger with each session.
Your skin will be considerably smoother after a medium chemical peel.
You’ll notice a significant improvement in the appearance and texture of the treated regions following a thorough chemical peel.
Results might not be long-lasting.
New wrinkles and variations in skin tone might develop over time as a result of ageing and new sun damage. This can reduce scarring, hyperpigmentation, dullness, wrinkles, and wrinkle depth.
Rosacea and acne-related skin conditions may also be helped by it.
Deep creases and scarring, however, cannot be treated with a chemical peel.
Additionally, it won’t tighten saggy skin or undo UV damage.
