What is Fractional CO2 Laser treatment?
Over the years, dermatologists have researched and tried to come up with solutions for various skin problems like scars, blemishes, open pores, wrinkles, etc. to make you look younger and more beautiful. Finally, fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, a breakthrough discovery skin treatment of the decade has come to be, and now many go through the procedure in order to get rid of unwanted skin spots, wrinkles, aging spots, discoloration, scarring. It involves the direction of tiny, concentrated pulses of laser light produced by a 10,600 nm CO2 laser into the skin in order to produce small, micro-sized injuries in the skin to promote healing. Over the last few years, CO2 laser treatment has emerged as a very promising, and safer alternative to other non-ablative therapies.
How does Fractional CO2 Skin Resurfacing Treatment work?
CO2 laser treatment is essentially a means of bringing about changes in the skin that promote its rejuvenation from within. As you age, your skin–with the combined effect of pollution and continued exposure to the sun– destroys the collagen in your skin. As the natural aging process begins, the necessary proteins i.e. collagen that keeps the tissue connected, wrinkle-free, and uptight, get destroyed. Therefore, during the CO2 laser skin resurfacing procedure, the doctors use a concentrated beam of light (laser) to penetrate into the skin, specifically into the dermis of the skin. This heat deposited into the dermal layer stimulates fibroblasts, a type of cell present in the dermis, to synthesize new collagen and elastin, both of which render the skin supple, smooth, and elastic. Therefore, CO2 laser treatment systematically promotes the youthful appearance of skin from within, and not just as a surface treatment. . Without damaging the surface layer of the skin, fractional CO2 laser procedure helps in getting rid of wrinkles, acne scars, aging spots and the like. Over the last few years, CO2 laser treatment has become extremely popular in the treatment of various skin problems. Esthetics Clinic has a team of experts, to make sure that the laser treatment provides all patients maximum results with less required time for recovery.
CO2 laser treatment for acne scars
CO2 laser treatment is particularly effective for the treatment of raised structures on the skin, like acne scars. CO2 laser treatment for acne scars involves the layer-by-layer depletion of the scarred tissue made up of stiff, inflexible scar collagen and its replacement by soft, smoother materials like collagen, freshly produced by the treated skin. CO2 laser treatment for acne scars has proven much more effective than other abrasive treatments such as dermabrasion or chemical peels. This is due to the highly penetrative, and controlled nature of the CO2 laser. With the development of fractional CO2 laser treatment for acne scars, the process is extremely precise and can be used to target only the acne scars with minimal to no damage to any of the surrounding skin, ensuring safety and lower recovery time.
Cost of CO2 Laser Treatment
The price of CO2 laser treatment depends entirely upon the extent of skin to be regenerated or treated, and the extent of scarring in the case of CO2 laser treatment for acne scars. Do consult with your supervising physician about the number of sessions you will need and the procedural costs.
What is the treatment procedure?
- The surface of scars can be lasered to reduce the visibility and try to bring them as close to normal appearing skin as possible. Deeper post-acne scars may require a procedure called subscision in addition to fillers to break the under scar fibrous bands before they can be lasered away. Larger traumatic/burn scars may need surgical correction/realignment before starting the laser treatment.
- Early stretch marks, can be improved by a combination of microdermabrasion, radiofrequency and fractional laser.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing for rejuvenation, open pores reduction and anti aging benefits, helps in eliminating layers of skin one by one with accuracy. Heat and light of measured intensity are delivered into the desired deeper layers of the skin to regenerate fresh collagen and refill depressed scars. As it eliminates the dead and damaged layers of the skin, this technique also helps to eliminate pigment and thus lightens simultaneously.
What happens after the treatment?
- There could be some pricking sensation during treatment with the laser, though it is done under topical anesthesia application. Some burning sensation post-laser for a day is usual, there could be mild redness, swelling post-laser for a few days followed by darkening and peeling off of the skin in the treated area. Sun protection is mandatory during therapy.
- Since the procedure is non-invasive, the patient will be discharged immediately after the treatment and can go back to normal life with no hospitalization required.
- For scars, follow-up treatments are usually necessary at 1-2 month intervals along with topical anti-scar medications prescribed especially from the clinic.
- Scars continue to improve over time even after the required numbers of sessions are over.
- Depending on the severity, the number of treatments may vary from 4-10 sessions with 4 weeks interval in between two sessions. When done for anti-aging benefits, yearly maintenance sessions are advisable for the best results.
What are the points to remember while undergoing this laser?
- Every skin is different, and one must have realistic expectations and must discuss the outcomes and expected results with his/her doctor.
- A trained expert cosmetic dermatologist with ample years of experience should be your treating physician.
- It is imperative to note that, being an ablative laser, it needs precise training and experience to perform this procedure and to give you the desired results. Inaccurately done treatments can lead to pigmentation, laser burns and scarring, more so in Indian and pigmented skin types.
