The CO2 Laser is a procedure that generates on the skin an energy of light with a specific wavelength that is absorbed by the water of the dermis. This process triggers a controlled and programmed destruction of the superficial layers of the skin and contraction of cells of the dermis with modification of its normal structure. A process of cellular regeneration is then produced with stimulation of the synthesis of new collagen fibers and a tensile reaction that results in younger, healthier, firmer, smoother and more uniform skin, with noticeable improvement of superficial and deep wrinkles, depending upon intensity, depth and type of treatment.
The best candidates to undergo this procedure are those patients who have fine, medium or deep wrinkles, flaccid skin, hyperpigmentation, acne scars and anyone who wants to improve skin beauty. When laser CO2 is performed in a deep and ablative mode, a great rejuvenation is achieved without surgery as well as a lifting effect difficult to match. It also works to treat some spots, nevi, warts, keratosis and other skin lesions.
