CO2 Lasers
CO2 Lasers
Cosmetic medicine frequently uses CO2 lasers. Dermatologists and other medical experts may employ CO2 lasers to treat various skin diseases. Light from the laser is 10,600 nanometers. Cellular water absorbs this wavelength, ablating the superficial skin layer. There is a form of heat injury that this treatment causes. Collagen forms underneath as the skin is stimulated. Skin elasticity is improved by collagen, a protein that forms a densely organized fiber network. Fractional CO2 lasers are favoured over ablative lasers because they produce equivalent effects with less problems. Laser spots from fractional CO2 lasers preserve the epidermis and speed recovery.
After a laser treatment, the skin begins to recover, and new skin may develop—skin that is smoother, firmer, or more elastic. Laser treatment duration depends on skin type, concern, and manufacturer guidelines. protect your skin from hyperpigmentation and scars. Use moderate skincare products and avoid the sun.
