There are many types of CO2 lasers.Different types of CO2 lasers have different effects on the skin.
Among them, in the beauty industry, the most popular type of CO2 laser is the fractional type. The output beam of the fractional CO2 laser is a regular dot size. This output method is conducive to uniform light reception of the skin, and the wavelength is usually selected at 10600nm.
The laser of this wavelength has strong penetration and can reach the dermis completely. The dermis is also an important position for beauty and anti-aging, so CO2 laser can be used for anti-aging.Scar removal, acne treatment, vaginal tightening, pigment removal, etc. are the main functions of fractional CO2 laser.
What is Fractional CO2 Laser?
Fractional CO2 laser is a technological upgrade based on traditional CO2 laser. The traditional concentrated beam energy is dispersed and branched, and there is normal skin tissue around the laser, which is more conducive to postoperative repair. Under the stimulation of laser heat energy, the collagen fibers under the skin are stimulated to proliferate, which plays a role in skin rejuvenation and anti-aging.
Fractional CO2 laser is a gas laser with a wavelength of 10600nm. It emits laser in a scanning dot matrix mode, forming a tiny damage area composed of laser action dots and intervals on the skin surface. Each laser action point is composed of a single or several high-energy laser pulses, which achieves the purpose of treatment by vaporizing tissue and stimulating collagen proliferation. It is widely used in the fields of dermatology and medical cosmetology.
How does CO2 fractional laser work?
Fractional micropore effect.
Light irradiates the skin in a fractional pattern, forming tiny burning spots, which can trigger the skin to repair itself.
Stimulate collagen proliferation.
Heat energy penetrates deep into the dermis, stimulating a large amount of new collagen and elastic fibers, filling depressions, and making the skin tighter and smoother.
Epidermal renewal.
The peeling effect can remove the aging stratum corneum, allowing new skin to replace the old skin, making the skin look brand new.
In short, it allows the skin to grow again through the method of “precise destruction + skin self-healing”, thereby repairing acne pits, scars, large pores, fine lines and other problems.
What are the types of fractional CO2 lasers?
There are two types of fractional CO2 lasers: ablative and non-ablative. The exfoliation fractional laser usually directly breaks up the epidermis, and the laser irradiates from the epidermis to the dermis. It belongs to the epidermal-dermal effect, which will indiscriminately exfoliate the skin, thereby regenerating the skin.
The difference between ablative fractional laser and non-ablative fractional laser:
Comparison Items | Ablative Fractional CO2 Laser | Non-ablative fractional CO2 laser |
Skin Depth | Deep skin, epidermal peeling | Superficial skin, no peeling |
Applicable issues | Acne scars, scars, wrinkles, pores | Rough skin, fine pores, fine wrinkles |
Downtime | 7-14 days | 1-3 days |
Results | Strong effect, long-term good results | Gentle, requires multiple treatments |
What are the functions of fractional CO2 laser?
CO2 fractional laser has many functions. In the beauty market, first, facial anti-aging and lifting, heating the dermis, so that the skin regeneration mechanism is activated, and the production of collagen is promoted. Collagen is also divided into two types, type I collagen and type III collagen. Collagen is a key indicator of whether the human skin is firm.
Second, remove acne scars. Many people have many pits and bumps on their faces. There are many reasons for the pits, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they will affect the beauty and overall image, so instruments are needed to remove them. In the beauty industry, the best removal machine is CO2 fractional laser, because the laser with a wavelength of 10600nm can peel off the epidermis in pieces, so that the face with acne scars can be completely removed, and then a perfectly flat epidermis can be regenerated.
Repair acne pits and improve acne marks
CO₂ fractional laser is one of the most effective methods to improve acne pits. It can stimulate the skin to regenerate collagen, fill depressions, and make the skin smoother.
Remove scars
For surgical scars, traumatic scars, burn scars, stretch marks, etc., CO₂ fractional laser can promote skin tissue repair, fade scars, and make the skin more even.
Shrink pores and make the skin delicate
Laser energy penetrates deep into the dermis, promotes skin renewal, and removes aging cuticles to make the skin more delicate and firm.
Remove fine lines, firm and anti-aging
Ablative CO₂ fractional laser can reduce fine lines, nasolabial folds, fine lines around the eyes, and improve skin elasticity to combat sagging.
Remove spots, whiten and rejuvenate the skin
Laser can remove epidermal pigmentation, sun spots, age spots, improve uneven skin tone, and make the skin more translucent.
How does fractional CO2 laser anti-aging skin?
- Combined with botulinum toxin to treat fine wrinkles, dynamic lines and static lines on the skin. Generally, treatment is performed once every 1 to 2 months, and each course of treatment is 2 to 3 times.
- Facial age spots and seborrheic keratosis.
- Combined with subcutaneous grinding and fruit acid salicylic acid peeling, carbon dioxide fractional laser is flexibly combined to treat new acne and acne scars after acne.
- Combined with hyaluronic acid to treat adolescent expansion lines and postoperative scars.
- Treat xanthelasma, common warts, syringoma, spider nevus, hemangioma, etc.
- Use large light spots and low energy for rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes and neck.
- Carbon dioxide fractional laser is combined with drugs to promote the transdermal absorption of drugs to treat androgenic alopecia, vitiligo, rosacea, etc.
- Different treatment modes of carbon dioxide fractional laser are combined and flexibly applied to scars after burns, scalds and trauma.
- Autologous fat cell filling and transplantation combined with carbon dioxide fractional laser treatment for static wrinkles and skin rejuvenation.
What are the medical uses of fractional CO2 laser?
In addition to the beauty market, fractional CO2 lasers are also often seen in the medical industry. Because of their unique wavelength and peeling function, they can play a role in surgical operations. They are commonly used in the treatment of warts, seborrheic keratosis, syringoma, miliary rash, stretch marks, laser hair transplantation and other operations. Of course, the above requires certain conditions, and there are requirements for the machine and the operator. First of all, the machine must be a fractional type, with a wavelength of 10600nm, and the laser power must reach 100 watts. The operator needs to be a doctor with a little experience, and needs to be stable and fast.
Medical treatments include:
- Benign skin growths: common warts, flat warts, filiform warts, milia, seborrheic keratosis, skin tags, syringoma, etc.
- Scars: traumatic or postoperative hypertrophic scars, acne pits and other atrophic scars.
- Treatment of stubborn skin diseases: eczema, neurodermatitis, alopecia areata, amyloidosis, etc.
- Improve skin condition: fine lines, enlarged pores, sagging skin, stretch marks, etc.
