WHAT IS IT?

CO2 laser resurfacing

The energy from the Active FX CO2 laser causes the controlled vaporization of the superficial layers of the skin. The body itself initiates a regeneration process that results in new skin and stimulates collagen-producing cells in the deeper layers of the skin.

Fractional CO2 laser treatment is indicated in the following cases:

  • Elimination of fine wrinkles
  • As a complementary treatment to plastic surgery
  • Skin rejuvenation

The application of the Active FX laser treatment allows for the design of customized treatments in different areas and accommodates the requirements of patient down time or recovery time to the expected results.

The session lasts approximately 50 minutes. Once the treatment is finished, a thin layer of sterile ointment is applied to the treated skin, and the patient returns home while protecting themselves from the sun and other external aggressions.

The regeneration process lasts approximately 8 to 10 days.

After the fractional CO2 laser treatment, the patient must protect themselves from sunlight using high-factor sunscreen.

The results of the Active FX CO2 laser treatment are:

  • Revitalized skin, brighter and more uniform
  • Elimination of blemishes
  • Reduction of fine wrinkles
  • Tightening effect

The elimination of blemishes is visible almost immediately. However, to assess the final results, at least 6 months must pass, which is the time necessary for the new collagen to finish forming.

FAQ's

Frequently asked questions about CO2 laser resurfacing

Depending on the cause of the wrinkles, we offer different medical treatments: botulinum toxin injections (BOTOX), implants with different types of hyaluronic acid, placement of PDO or PLLA thread lifts, injections of collagen stimulators (PLLA, polycaprolactone, or calcium hydroxyapatite), and CO2 laser biostimulation.

Warts are small, benign skin lesions, elevated above the skin’s surface, of viral origin: cells in an area of the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, multiply more than usual and thicken.

They can be safely removed with a CO2 laser, but the emergence of new lesions cannot be prevented.

There are different types of facial dark spots, and an accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the appropriate treatment. The most common causes include sun exposure and hormonal factors, which lead to solar lentigines and melasma. Depending on the type of dark spot, we employ medical-grade chemical peels of varying intensity, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) with specific filters to treat hyperpigmentation, or fractional CO2 laser.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, covering an area of approximately 2 square meters in an adult. It is a living organ capable of regenerating; it is waterproof, resistant, and flexible, breathing and remaining active 24 hours a day.

However, with the passage of time, poor habits, and unprotected sun exposure, the skin undergoes changes that may manifest years later due to a memory effect or accumulation. Therefore, while we can treat the spots present at a given moment, preventive measures must be maximized to delay the appearance of new signs of photoaging, such as spots or the loss of elasticity and firmness, for as long as possible.

Facial melasma (also called chloasma when it appears directly related to pregnancy) is a skin condition that consists of the appearance of dark brownish spots (hypermelanosis) typically located and distributed in sun-exposed areas (face), which occurs in outbreaks, worsening in summer and improving significantly in winter.

The cause is unknown but is related to hormonal factors, genetic predisposition, and sun exposure. It usually disappears during menopause. Treatments are aimed at eliminating or reducing its intensity, and typically consist of combinations of in-office treatments (peeling or IPL) along with at-home treatments.
