With the advent of the fractional Co2 laser, things have changed for the better. It works on both the epidermis and dermis. It removes the superficial layers of skin, taking along with it the damaged tissue. It also acts on the deeper layers of the dermis, where through heat and energy it stimulates the body to make new collagen. The principle on which it works is to deliver a laser beam that is divided into thousands of deep but tiny columns known as micro treatment zones. the micro action of expelling damaged and pigmented epidermal cells as well as collagen remodeling in deeper dermal tissue happens in each of these zones. What results, is your skin being ‘resurfaced’ with a fresh and new appearance. It doesn’t just help with the scars, but also works on removing pigmentation and helps against superficial wrinkles etc.
