The word “LASER” is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. LASER works by generating a wavelength of high-energy light that, when focused on a particular skin condition, produces heat and kills unhealthy cells. There are several types of lasers, each distinguished by the medium that produces the laser beam. As the light of a specific wavelength passes through it, the medium amplifies it.
Dermatologists and clinicians utilize fractional CO2 lasers (active laser medium which is a mixture of 3 gases consisting of 10–20% carbon dioxide, 10–20% nitrogen, and the remainder is helium) to treat acne scars, deep wrinkles, and other skin problems. It’s a non-invasive process that removes the damaged skin’s outer layers with a laser made of carbon dioxide.
The fractional CO2 laser is a non-surgical procedure for acne scars, fine wrinkles, and other skin issues that requires no downtime. It involves removing the damaged outer layer of skin, stimulating collagen formation, and resulting in firmer, healthier, and younger-looking skin. You can immediately resume your regular activities after the quick (15-20 minute) process and embrace the day with renewed confidence!
