Fractional peeling, or resurfacing without pain: how a modern CO2 laser works

laser peeling for rejuvenation

Many people associate laser rejuvenation with aggressive resurfacing, which simply evaporates the surface of the skin and leaves everything to heal and recover for many weeks. However, over decades of use, this technique has changed greatly.

Today, laser rejuvenation is in most cases not total resurfacing, but a more modern option called fractional ablative rejuvenation. This service is offered by 90% of beauty clinics.

Of course, technology does not stand still and is constantly evolving, especially as patients become more and more demanding and prefer procedures with a minimum rehabilitation period and at the same time high efficiency. Laser equipment for cosmetology today has many capabilities that allow you to quickly, minimally invasively and at the same time effectively achieve certain goals.

Modern CO2 laser equipment has a wide range of indications and a large selection of various accessories for an individual approach. At the same time, the devices are very convenient and allow you to successfully use them even without many years of experience.

How the new CO2 works

Such equipment is equipped with a special technology that creates a microthermal zone on the skin, that is, the effect occurs not with one beam, but with many micro-rays. The laser beam passes through a special grating that separates it.

This technology was created to reduce the aggressiveness of the impact and simultaneously increase efficiency. The skin is damaged not over the entire area, but pointwise. It is due to this that rapid tissue restoration occurs after the procedure. Micro rays evaporate old collagen fibers, pigmentation, scar tissue, wrinkles. Cells located around the destroyed areas begin to actively divide and restore them. Cellular immunity is activated, which begins to intensively produce collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and create new blood vessels. The skin becomes noticeably thicker. It stimulates all rejuvenating processes. At the same time, the damaged areas tighten and reduce the total area of the skin, which leads to a lifting (tightening) effect.

advantages of fractional rejuvenation

Pros of fractional peeling

This procedure usually does not require local anesthesia (although it can be used if desired). Rehabilitation takes an average of 10 days. Redness after the procedure lasts up to three days, then crusts form, which disappear on their own and without complications after a week.

The combination of micro-beam technology with a certain radiation power and pulse duration makes it possible to use such grinding in any season with short rehabilitation and excellent results.

results

Fractional ablative rejuvenation significantly evens out skin color, increases turgor, eliminates wrinkles and makes skin wrinkles less pronounced. There is also a decrease in the width and depth of stretch marks and scars, including post-acne.

Thus, this method allows you to even out skin texture, improve tone, eliminate pigment spots, scars, stretch marks and correct ptosis with shorter rehabilitation than with classic laser resurfacing.
