This procedure works with tiny beams of light but offers great benefits
The fractional CO2 laser offers many advantages for treating skin problems, particularly for improving the skin’s appearance.
The main ones are:
- Effectiveness: The fractional CO2 laser is very effective in treating wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and uneven pigmentation. The laser energy penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, inducing maximum tightening and smoothing.
- Faster Recovery: With our latest generation CO2 laser, the skin needs a significantly shorter recovery time.
- Safety: The fractional CO2 laser is suitable and safe for most skin types. With us, this treatment is performed exclusively by qualified, experienced doctors.
- Long-lasting Results: With repetition and appropriate care, the results can last for many years.
The CO2 Laser Treatment:
- Procedure: The CO2 fractional laser treatment is the most modern and effective procedure for skin renewal and skin tightening, harnessing the skin’s regenerative capacity. It is a minimally invasive procedure in which microscopically small skin areas are ablated to a controlled depth. Using a specially developed scanner, many tiny holes, hardly visible to the naked eye, are shot into the skin. The ensuing healing process renews the skin, which becomes tighter, smoother, and finer, and bothersome pigmentations disappear. This process leads successively to skin renewal and skin rejuvenation.
- Execution: The skin area in question is thoroughly cleaned before the procedure begins. For most people, the treatment is associated with slight, tolerable pain, which is alleviated by the prior application of a pain-relieving cream or cooling of the skin. The treatment time is about twenty minutes, depending on the size of the skin area.
- Aftercare: After 7 to 10 days, the treated areas are healed. Redness occurs for up to two days, after which (days 3-5) scaling of the lasered areas takes place; they appear tanned at this time. Make-up to cover up is allowed. During the aftercare phase, the skin should be protected from intense sun exposure for two to three months and therefore cared for with a moisturizing sunscreen with SPF 50+. Since skin renewal and collagen formation take several months, a sustainable and visible treatment success is to be expected gradually over the course of two to three months.
