CO2 laser facial resurfacing. What is this procedure?
Laser or fractional resurfacing is a procedure aimed at correcting imperfections and rejuvenating the skin. It can be used to remove scars and scars, smooth wrinkles, tighten the face oval and eyelid skin.
The world’s thinnest CO2 laser can be used even on delicate eyelid skin without the risk of complications.
The essence of the procedure
Fractional resurfacing is based on an amazing process called vaporization. In essence, it is a partial, fully controlled burn of tissues.
The specialist, according to the individual characteristics of the patient, adjusts the laser beam. Directed at the cells, the laser beam interacts with the cells, evaporating moisture from them. Thus, the skin cells are literally vaporized from the surface without unpleasant sensations.
As a result, the process of cell regeneration is triggered and the synthesis of collagen and elastin is activated. Collagen and elastin are proteins that are essential for youthful and firm skin.
The cell renewal process allows for the formation of healthy and even skin in place of scars, scars and age spots.
Stages of fractional resurfacing
- Consultation with a specialist. An experienced doctor examines the tissues, determines the type and needs of the skin. Together with the patient, the specialist will agree on a treatment plan depending on the desired result.
- Application of local anesthesia. Laser resurfacing is the most atraumatic procedure possible. Most of our patients characterize it as painless or almost painless. The sensitivity depends largely on the patient's pain threshold. Therefore, for your comfort, we will additionally apply an anesthetic gel to the area to be treated.
- Cleansing the epidermis of impurities. After the local anesthesia has taken effect, we gently clean the surface of the skin from impurities. Fractional resurfacing can be performed only on prepared and cleansed skin. We recommend that you do not wear makeup before the procedure. First, during the preparation, the specialist will remove makeup. Secondly, the best result will give the procedure performed on the cleansed skin of the face.
- CO2 Laser Facial Resurfacing. After individual adjustment of the length and strength of the laser beam, the doctor proceeds to fractional resurfacing. During laser rejuvenation can vaporize harmful substances. Therefore, the assistant, with the help of special equipment, controls the outflow and filtration of vapors. Also, in addition, we carry out blowing the skin with cooled air. This allows us to completely avoid unpleasant sensations.
- Final treatment. After the completion of laser peeling specialist applies a soothing agent to the surface of the skin and gives the necessary recommendations for home care. If all recommendations are followed, the process of facial recovery will be quick and easy.
- Recommendations on skin restoration and care. Depending on the amount of work done and the initial data of the skin, the specialist gives individual recommendations. Home care after laser resurfacing is as important as the procedure itself.
- Delicate Washing. Daily cleansing of the face is essential for normal recovery. Hygienic procedures should not be neglected. Wash your face with cool water without using washcloths. For the first 7 days we recommend to avoid harsh cleansers. Scrubs and peels based on aggressive acids and abrasive particles can damage the skin and provoke inflammation.
- What ingredients in foams and gels should be avoided? AHA acids, oils, alcohol or alcoholic fragrances and baking soda. Sunbathing and sunbathing is also not recommended during the period of tissue repair. For additional protection, use special creams before going outdoors. SPF products in the summer and anti-frost cream in the winter.
- Lifehack: In order to prolong the youthfulness of your facial skin, always use an SPF product before going outdoors. Even in winter, UV rays can damage the epidermis, causing wrinkles and age spots.
- Moisturization. Sufficient moisturizing of the skin after laser rejuvenation will help the cells to recover faster. For this purpose, it is better to use light, non-greasy products. For example, tissue masks, serums and gels without oils and alcohol. Day creams with a light texture and aloe-based gels are suitable for daily moisturizing of the face. Such products deeply moisturize without clogging pores.
- Drinking regimen. Beauty comes from within and it's absolutely true! Often, not drinking enough water has an instant effect on our skin. Wrinkles and creases appear more actively and our complexion loses its radiance. Drink plenty of clean water a day and your skin will thank you.

Possible complications
We understand how important it is to know as much information about the procedure as possible. We will not hide, any care procedure has a risk of complications.
What are the complications of laser peeling?
- Tissue Hyperemia. Redness after a fractional resurfacing procedure is a completely normal reaction. Redness of the skin goes away on its own within 1-2 days.
- Oedema. Minor swelling is a natural process caused by partial damage. The swelling will go away on its own within 1-3 days.
- Fractional Grinding. Laser resurfacing produces fractions, small dots from the laser beam. After the procedure, crusts will form on them, which should never be removed. They will pass on their own on the 3rd day.
- Individual complications. These complications are rare. They are mostly due to hormonal medications and undetected infection or inflammation.
- Burn. The worst of all complications. Skin burn occurs only in 2 cases: negligence of the specialist and low-quality laser. Never settle for a procedure with a suspiciously low cost. Cheap, Chinese laser is dangerous to your health.
