Rejuvenate, Resurface, Refresh & Tighten with Smooth Skin Fractional RF CO2 Laser
Forget the days of heavy, overdone makeup. Today, the trend is all about achieving soft, dewy, and radiant skin. Whether you're using at-home methods or professional treatments, skin resurfacing can help you reach this goal.
For faster and more effective results, consider CO2 laser skin resurfacing. Here's what you need to know about this advanced treatment.
The Marvels of Fractional CO2 Laser
Smooth Skin Fractional CO2 is a revolutionary technology in laser skin resurfacing. Unlike traditional lasers that treat 100% of the skin, fractional CO2 targets only a fraction. This technique uses thousands of tiny carbon dioxide laser beams to treat specific skin areas layer by layer, leaving surrounding skin untouched and reducing downtime.
Smooth Skin Fractional CO2 laser promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells, replacing old and damaged ones. It stimulates natural healing from within and encourages collagen production.
This treatment can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and enlarged pores. It also tightens the skin, enhancing elasticity and improving overall skin tone. Visible improvements typically appear within a week or two, with continued enhancements over time.
Smooth Skin Fractional Co2 wavelength is 10600nm, which mainly used for gasifying the skin tissue, the principle is based on the theory selective photothermolysis. Water in the skin is the mainly target of the fractional CO2 laser, after absorbed the energy of the laser, water will release heat, evaporate and gasify immediately. Naturally the cutaneous lesion will be eliminated flashily.
It is arguably the most versatile and useful of all skin rejuvenating lasers. This laser by-passes the top layer of the skin (epidermis) and targets the deep layer (dermis) in which there is collagen and other elements that make for good quality skin. The laser heats this layer to an optimum temperature which stimulates it, so promoting remodeling of the dermis to produce a better-quality skin takes the CO2 laser beam and fractionates, or pixelates that beam into thousands of tiny little shafts of light. These tiny shafts of light penetrate into deeper layer of the skin. The skin then repairs those tiny shafts by pushing out the old damaged skin and replacing it with new skin. The “collateral” heat damage also helps to shrink existing collagen.
Optimising Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment
To maximise the benefits of Smooth Skin Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing, follow these pre- and post-treatment tips:
1. Pause Retinoid Use: Stop using retinoid products a week before your treatment to avoid increased skin sensitivity.
2. Sun Protection: Use adequate sun protection post-treatment and avoid harsh skincare products. Stick to mild cleansers and moisturizers.
3. Avoid Picking: Allow scaly and peeling skin to shed naturally. Avoid exfoliating to prevent redness and potential discoloration.
4. Limit Makeup: Minimise makeup use post-treatment to prevent irritation. Never use concealer on peeling skin.
Downtime varies from 3 to 10 days, depending on the treatment area.
Common Side Effects
CO2 laser skin resurfacing may cause minor side effects, especially on sensitive skin. Redness is common but typically subsides with proper aftercare. Some patients experience skin purging, resulting in whiteheads and pimples. This is a normal response to rapid cell turnover and should resolve on its own. Avoid picking at the skin to prevent prolonged issues.
