How the CO2 Laser Works?

Collagen is the main protein in the connective tissues; it is collagen that keeps the skin appearing rejuvenated and wrinkle free. What destroys the collagen in the connective tissues is sun exposure or the natural ageing process combined with pollution. The CO2 special setting allows facial plastic surgeons to perform procedures on fair to dark skin types.

The CO2 laser wavelength technology uses a very short pulsed light energy known has “ultrapulse.” These continuous light beams penetrate the bores of the skin and boost the body’s natural collagen production. The skin then begins to repair itself by replacing the damaged skin with the new skin, all with minimal to no heat damage.

Although CO2 ablative lasers can significantly reduce fine wrinkles, tighten skin and improve scarring, in the past they have been associated with the potential for hypopigmentation in most skin types and delayed healing times. Today, the latest CO2 technology fractionates the beam to produce columns of tissue ablation separated by healthy tissue. As a result, fractionated CO2 lasers can be performed on almost every skin type, significantly decreasing the risk of hypopigmentation and dramatically speeding up healing time.
