Why is Fractional Co2 Laser Beauty Machine Better?

Please visit our website for more information on this topic.

The short answer is no, and there are significant differences.

When looking for a fractional CO2 laser treatment to improve brown spots, uneven skin tones, roughened texture, acne scarring, and those troublesome etched lines and wrinkles the search can be confusing.  In Orange County, the search is made even more difficult because of the range of options marketed on the internet, in mailings, and even on Groupon.  But, there are significant differences in the results provided by different fractional CO2 laser systems and with the physicians who perform the treatments.  The following are some helpful guidelines when researching fractional CO2 laser treatments.

One of the most important questions to ask when consulting on a fractional CO2 laser treatment, or any laser treatment for that matter is . . . does the physician or office own the laser?  Many physicians, offices, and med-spas rent or share their fractional CO2 lasers and will schedule a day of the week or month when all treatments are done.  Unfortunately, lasers have delicate and intricate optics and other precisely calibrated electrical elements that are not designed to travel from office to office and consistently maintain their calibrations within safe parameters.  So my advice is to make sure the office or physician owns the laser and it does not travel from office to office or city to city.

Second, high quality fractional CO2 lasers are expensive, and many cheaper fractional CO2 lasers are being marketed and bought in the United States from factories in China and elsewhere that may not meet necessary safety requirements set forth by the FDA or had their laser's technology inspected and cleared by the FDA.  So make sure the office's laser is from a reputable company you can call or a website you can visit.

Next, for a fractional CO2 laser to be safe and effective, the fractional CO2 laser beam must reach specific energy levels AND the laser's beam interaction with the skin must be exceptionally quick (Note: laser beam quickness and treatment quickness are NOT the same thing.)

Why is this important?  The energy level delivered by the laser and the quickness of the laser beam determines the quality of the result; that is, these two factors are required and determine the optimal improvement in the look of your skin, as evidenced by the production of collagen, wrinkle elimination, and skin tightening.  Unfortunately, many lower priced fractional CO2 laser systems in Orange County will either reach the proper energy levels but NOT have the required quickness of the laser beam or they may have a quick laser beam but the energy level of the laser is NOT sufficient, leading to less than satisfactory results, limited and disorganized collagen production with less or no wrinkle elimination, and greater risks of complications.

Our Fractional CO2 laser is made by Lumenis, the established leader in laser technology for more than 40 years, and is considered the unrivaled global leader in dermatological, ophthalmic, and surgical lasers.  Quality counts at Refreshed Aesthetic Surgery.

Unlike discounted and less advanced lasers, the Lumenis fractional CO2 laser uses Ultrapulse laser technology which provides unsurpassed results for every unique patient.  Moreover, the Lumenis fractional CO2 laser has the technology to deliver the appropriate laser energy and quickness to instantly and precisely treat skin and wrinkles 'at optimum levels for impressive results, more quickly, and with less pain than other CO2 systems,' which has been proven in peer reviewed and published studies.  The laser is considered to have 6 times more energy and be twice as quick when compared to most CO2 lasers on the market.

In closing, the importance of which laser system to treat your skin is just as important as the facial plastic surgeon doing the treatment.  That is why when researching and deciding on which fractional CO2 laser treatment to have it is prudent and wise to consider more than just price.

Read on to learn everything you need to know about CO2 laser resurfacing.

Depending on the issue being addressed, a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon might also use fractional lasers, another type of CO2 lasers. Fractional lasers, however, are more superficial than traditional CO2 lasers, so they're mainly used to address fine lines or blotchy skin.

CO2 ' carbon dioxide ' laser resurfacing uses targeted beams of light to remove the superficial layer of your skin.

You may need more than one treatment session, depending on the treatment required and intensity of the laser used.

Here's an idea of what to expect on the day of your CO2 laser treatment:

Your dermatologist will give you instructions to prepare for treatment. Depending on your medical history, pre-care typically involves:

During CO2 laser resurfacing, a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist can target specific areas of your skin with precision, so the treatment won't affect the rest of the skin nearby.

When this happens, the epidermis , or superficial layer of your skin, is vaporized. The dermis, or middle layer, heats up, stimulating the growth of new collagen fibers. As the area heals, new firmer, smoother skin replaces the old layers.

C02 laser resurfacing uses pulses of laser light. These beams penetrate the skin's surface, where water in the skin cells absorbs them.

CO2 laser resurfacing can treat numerous cosmetic and medical skin issues, from visible signs of aging and sun damage to scars and skin cancer.

Fine lines and wrinkles

CO2 laser resurfacing can lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It may prove especially effective on:

• crow's feet, or lines and wrinkles under and around the eyes
• lines and wrinkles on the forehead
• laugh lines, or those appearing around the mouth

Not only can it reduce the appearance of wrinkles right away, it also encourages collagen production, which can improve the health of your skin over time.

Sun-damaged skin

Exposure to UV light may contribute to visible signs of skin aging, such as:

• wrinkles
• sagging due to decreased elasticity
• rough and uneven skin texture
• liver spots and sunspots
• spider veins

CO2 laser resurfacing can significantly reduce the appearance of all of the above.

Baggy eyes

Loose skin above the upper and lower eyelids can cause what's commonly known as 'baggy' or 'hooded eyes.'

CO2 lasers can help tighten skin, and they may also help improve eyelid skin laxity and minimize the appearance of baggy eyes.

Acne scars

C02 laser treatment helps reduce the appearance of acne scarring by stimulating collagen production that helps tighten and smooth out the scars.

That said, it may not work on all types of acne scars.

Warts

Dermatologists usually recommend other treatment methods, like over-the-counter remedies or freezing, for warts. But they may use lasers on warts that don't respond to other treatments.

Sebaceous hyperplasia

Sebaceous hyperplasia occurs when sebum gets trapped in an oil gland. When this happens, the gland becomes enlarged and causes a small, waxy bump on the skin, usually on the face. While harmless, some people have them removed for cosmetic reasons.

CO2 lasers can effectively remove these bumps and prevent them from growing back, though some research suggests that an erbium laser may be a better option. A review found that treatment with an erbium laser often only requires one session and involves fewer side effects than CO2 and other lasers.

Skin cancer

CO2 lasers can help prevent or treat skin cancers by shrinking and destroying tissue with little bleeding or damage to the surrounding tissue.

A dermatologist might use CO2 lasers on pre-cancerous actinic keratoses or, in some cases, to treat certain types of early stage skin cancer.
