In our environment, where the sun shines for longer periods of time, the skin is vulnerable to UV damage. Combined with the frequent changes in daily facial expressions and the natural aging process, the skin gradually becomes rough, wrinkled and loses its luster. In this regard, we will use CO2 laser surface treatment technology to help patients restore skin vitality.
Advantages of CO2 laser surface treatment technology
1. Significantly reduce wrinkles: This technology can significantly reduce visible wrinkles on the skin, especially for deep wrinkles.
2. Improve skin texture: CO2 laser can significantly improve the fine lines and overall texture of the skin, while reducing pigmentation areas and making the skin more even.
3. Acne scar repair: Most patients find that their acne scars are improved by 50% after using this technology.
4. Skin tightening and improvement: The heat generated by the laser can trigger the body’s natural repair mechanism and promote the production of new collagen and elastin, thereby making the skin tighter and even producing a slight lifting effect.
5. Relatively easy recovery process: Compared with surgical dermabrasion, the recovery process after CO2 laser surface treatment is easier. In addition, the patient is under general anesthesia during the surgery and does not feel pain.
Disadvantages of CO2 laser surface treatment technology
1. Long recovery time: This technique requires a long recovery time, and the patient’s skin may continue to ooze fluid for two weeks, requiring frequent cleaning and application of ointments to prevent scabbing. The healing process may take three weeks or longer.
2. Skin color changes: The skin may remain pink or red during recovery and for some time afterwards. Additionally, patients with darker skin tones may not be candidates for this technique as it may result in reduced skin pigmentation that contrasts with untreated areas.
3. Sun protection requirements: The treated skin is particularly sensitive to sunlight, so special care needs to be taken to avoid direct sunlight.
In summary, although CO2 laser surface treatment technology has significant skin improvement effects, it also requires patients to spend a certain amount of recovery time and pay attention to sun protection. When choosing this technology, patients should fully understand its pros and cons and make decisions under the guidance of a doctor.
