In a fractional CO2 laser procedure, the skin is resurfaced and rejuvenated while also being treated for difficult skin abnormalities like scarring and age symptoms. When fractionated CO2 lasers are applied to the target locations, the skin is extensively penetrated, resulting in ablation and micro thermal burns in the top layers of the skin. The unaffected surrounding skin then quickly and naturally heals these wounds by removing dead skin, treating skin conditions, and revealing a clean, fresh layer of skin.
Laser technology has been utilised for skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and other cosmetic skin treatments for many years. Due to its high water absorption capacity, CO2 laser therapy, also known as carbon dioxide laser therapy, holds a significant position among other laser technologies or therapies. Due to the high water content of human skin, the CO2 laser is extremely safe, precise, and efficient.
Laser light pulses are used in C02 laser resurfacing. These rays pass through the skin's surface and are absorbed by the water in the skin cells.
The epidermis, or outermost layer of your skin, is vaporised when this occurs. The middle layer, or dermis, warms up, promoting the development of new collagen fibres. Old layers of skin are replaced by new, smoother, firmer skin as the area heals.
A dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon can precisely target a few spots of your skin during CO2 laser resurfacing so the surrounding skin won't be affected.
During CO2 laser resurfacing, a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon can precisely target a few areas of your skin such that the surrounding skin is unaffected.
Depending on the type of treatment needed and the laser's strength, you could require more than one treatment session.
For various skin disorders, fractional CO2 laser treatment offers the following advantages:
This technique has very few hazards or side effects, but it's crucial to emphasise that they are uncommon, won't happen to one patient, and may be prevented with caution.
As the name implies, this method uses carbon dioxide to get rid of scars or wrinkles. Depending on the illness being treated, the cost of fractional Co2 laser treatment in India ranges from 4,000 to 10,000 per session. Depending on the patient's needs, it takes three to six sessions.
How long does a CO2 laser treatment take?:
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.
Does a co2 laser treatment hurt?:
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."
When will I begin to see results after a CO2 laser treatment?: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.
