What Is CO2 Laser Treatment?
The CO2 Laser Treatment with the Cartessa CO2 laser machine is a highly effective skin resurfacing procedure that targets the deeper layers of the skin. By vaporizing damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen production, this treatment helps to reveal smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin. It is particularly effective for treating severe skin imperfections, including deep wrinkles, acne scars, and significant sun damage.
How Does CO2 Laser Work?
The CO2 Laser works by delivering continuous or pulsed CO2 laser energy to the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that promote the natural healing process. Here’s how it works:
-
Laser Application: The CO2 laser precisely targets the deeper layers of the skin, vaporizing damaged cells and stimulating collagen production.
-
Collagen Stimulation: The laser energy stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, which is essential for skin elasticity and firmness.
-
Skin Renewal: As the skin heals, new, healthy skin cells emerge, replacing the damaged ones and improving overall skin texture and tone.
