How Does a CO2 Laser Work?
Fractional CO2 laser creates numerous microscopic laser punctures, which help promote microcirculation and new cell genesis. Regular treatments will help to replace the scar tissue with newer healthier cells. The scar and the skin are smoothened in the process.
Immediately after the treatment, the skin will appear red and in rare cases, minimally swollen. There may be numerous microscopic dots on the treated area, which will develop into fine scabs within a day or two. The scabs will disappear within 3 – 4 days; after which the skin is smoother and clearer. The entire recovery process takes about 3 – 5 days. During this time, patients are advised to apply more moisturiser and sun block to soothe the skin and stay away from excessive sun exposure.
An individual may require 4 – 7 carbon dioxide laser therapy treatments done monthly. The actual number of treatments will depend on the severity of the skin condition, skin type and lifestyle.
The procedure is very safe with a low incidence of side effects, all of which are temporary and minor. There is minimal limitation to daily activities and patients can resume their daily activities immediately. Care must be taken to keep the skin clean, hydrated and allergen free. Treatment is fast, safe and tolerable. Occasionally, a local anaesthetic cream may be applied to make the procedure more comfortable.
Your medically trained skin specialist will use the CO2 scar and stretch mark laser in Melbourne to burn tiny microscopic columns into your skin. These columns only make up 20% of your skin’s surface. The other 80% of the skin helps the damaged skin to repair, and in the process your skin becomes tighter as collagen is stimulated. In the months after undergoing fractional CO2 laser in Melbourne, your skin will continue to improve.
How Long Does Fractional CO2 Laser Last?
The positive effects of fractional CO2 laser treatment can last for years, as long as you look after your skin with sunscreens, moisturisers and limited sun exposure.
Is CO2 Laser Painful?
This procedure involves virtually no pain throughout the treatment and afterwards, although your skin may be more sensitive to light for a little while after the procedure. At Bay Medical Aesthetics, we offer a follow up call and provide post treatment skin care tips to ensure the best result from your CO2 laser therapy skin treatment.
