CO2 Fraxel 16000nm

WHAT DOES CO2 FRAXEL HELP?

CO2 in its Fraxel, Pixel, and or Modified form can repair things deeper in the dermis like general chronological aging that affects everyone over time, improving skin elasticity, reaching deeper photo damage that includes laxity and encouraging positive changes to lighten up darker areas, early rhytids (wrinkles) that happen simply from normal facial expression and sleeping positions, scaring of all kinds, healing skin post acne damage from lots of breakouts, tackling superficial facial spider veins, the ablation and resurfacing of soft tissue, improving stretch marks on the body and repairing the tissue appearance from over stretched skin, textural irregularities and addressing larger pores by helping them shrink. This can be used on the body and the face, giving us a great tool to revitalize and repair tissue and it can be used with minimal risks on most skin types since we are targeting more of the Dermis than the Epidermis. Those with Skin Types 3-6 are suggested to use lightening creams post their treatment on day 15 to keep the skin from having a post inflammatory response that can leave the melanin production in more of a high state. Sun Screen and a specific regimen are needed to maintain the best results. 

WHAT DOES CO2 TREATMENT DO?

The Cortex Fractional CO2 Laser emits light at a wavelength of 10,600 nm. The light is absorbed strongly by water down to the lower dermis. Each pulse of CO2 energy vaporizes a microscopic  column of tissue, leaving small areas of untreated skin between columns.  As ablation occurs, deep heating stimulates collagen growth and  remodeling. Distributing the laser energy in an even pattern allows for  quicker healing and reduces patient downtime.
