The pulsed CO2 laser consists of a carbon dioxide beam that vaporize the scar without damaging surrounding tissue.
The advantages of CO2 laser are represented by a reduced thermal damage, less bleeding, less inflammation and improved healing.
It is ideal in cases of damaged and inelastic skin (acne scars) because not only eliminates the most superficial layers but is also capable of determining a significant contraction of collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis and thus make the skin more toned.
Another advantage of the C02 laser is the assurance that the areas that are treated are “leveled” always on the desired thickness.
In the field of cosmetic surgery, the CO2 laser, invisible and infrared, has replaced the scalpel in many types of intervention.it can also be used in all types of scars,fractional skin resurfacing.
