CO2 Laser – RF

The most modern fractional laser is a combination of fractional treatments and bipolar radiofrequency.

SmartXide2 causes comprehensive skin reconstruction and stimulates the production of new collagen fibers.

The phenomenon of photothermolysis used in the SmatrXide 2 laser has its scientific basis in the research of Prof. R. Rox Anderson from Massachusetts General Hospital, who proved that as a result of the photothermal reaction, water in the tissue is rapidly heated, which leads to its evaporation, i.e. ablation.

The CO2 laser is an ablation laser that emits a beam of light with a wavelength of 10,600 nm. This beam is absorbed by the water contained in the skin, which causes it to evaporate. As a result, micro-damages are created on the skin, which stimulate tissue healing processes.

The CO2 laser is widely used in aesthetic medicine. It is used to remove scars, stretch marks, discolorations, wrinkles, vascular changes, and also for skin rejuvenation.

Applications of the CO2 laser in aesthetic medicine:

Scar removal

The CO2 laser is the most effective method of removing acne, hypertrophic and post-operative scars. The procedure involves evaporating damaged tissue and stimulating the skin healing process. The effect is to smooth the scar and improve its appearance.

Stretch mark removal

The CO2 laser can also be used to remove stretch marks. The procedure involves evaporating damaged tissue and stimulating the production of new collagen. The effect is to smooth out stretch marks and improve their appearance.

Removing pigment spots

The CO2 laser can also be used to remove pigment spots, such as age spots, freckles, and sun spots. The procedure involves vaporizing cells containing melanin, which is responsible for the formation of pigment spots. The effect is to lighten the pigment spots and improve the skin tone.

Removing wrinkles

The CO2 laser can also be used to remove wrinkles. The procedure involves vaporizing the epidermis and dermis layers. The effect is to smooth the skin and reduce wrinkles.

Removing vascular lesions

The CO2 laser can also be used to remove vascular lesions, such as blood vessels, telangiectasias, and hemangiomas. The procedure involves coagulating the blood vessels, causing them to close and disappear.

Skin rejuvenation

The CO2 laser can also be used to rejuvenate the skin. The procedure involves stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which results in firming and improving the elasticity of the skin.

CO2 Laser – Preparation for the procedure

Before the CO2 laser procedure, you should discuss all recommendations and contraindications with your aesthetic medicine doctor. It is also recommended to avoid sun exposure for two weeks before the procedure.

The course of the CO2 laser procedure

The CO2 laser procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The duration of the procedure depends on the area undergoing the procedure.

After the CO2 laser procedure, the skin may be red, swollen and painful. These symptoms usually disappear within a few days.

Skin care after the CO2 laser procedure

After the CO2 laser procedure, you should follow the recommendations of your aesthetic medicine doctor. These recommendations may include:

  • Using sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF 50+)
  • Avoiding sun exposure for two weeks after the procedure
  • Using painkillers, if necessary
