Fractional CO² laser is one of the procedures that rejuvenate the face, revealing firmer, more beautiful skin by increasing collagen production and treating fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, scars and blemishes.
But before we start talking about the advantages of applying fractional CO² laser combined with facial plastic surgery, we will explain what it is and what it is used for. See how blepharoplasty works:
Now that you have seen a brief explanation, keep reading to discover more about using laser together with blepharoplasty. What is fractional CO² laser? First of all, it is important to know that laser surgeries are performed by doctors with specific training. In addition, using this technology requires experience and special care for the skin, in both the preoperative and the postoperative period.
Another important aspect is choosing a surgeon who specializes in facial surgery, because work of recognized quality makes treatment more comfortable and safe. Dr. Rogério Leal is a physician specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery who performs the best surgical techniques and has a qualified team to assist with patient care.
Now, let’s find out what fractional CO² laser is.
This laser is one of the latest advances in skin rejuvenation treatments and can be combined with a surgical procedure. CO² has the longest wavelength of all lasers and can be used on many skin types with the appropriate settings. It is a great option for reducing dark circles with dark pigmentation, which appear due to a high concentration of melanin or as a result of congestion of the capillaries in the area around the eyes.
In this case, fractional CO² laser, when applied to genetic and pigmented dark circles, helps destroy the dark pigment. It is one of the most modern procedures to add to skin treatment, especially to improve skin thickness. CO² laser helps reduce wrinkles and expression lines and ensures the integrity of the skin areas excluded from the surgical treatment, which favors the healing process.
One of its significant advantages is its precision, which allows the reduction of small, fine expression lines such as “crow’s feet” and other facial wrinkles, because the laser can reach the dermis, stimulating collagen formation and reducing wrinkles, in addition to increasing skin tone and leveling its structure.
Do you have enlarged pores? Laser can soften them! People with enlarged pores on the face often have excessive facial shine and uneven, oily skin. In this situation, a highly recommended aesthetic treatment to reduce pore size is fractional CO² laser. In general, this procedure acts directly on skin rejuvenation through cell renewal.
Does fractional CO2 laser hurt?
Most people who have had skin treatment with fractional CO² laser know that the application is somewhat painful (very painful in some cases). For this reason, Dr. Rogério Leal found a way to provide comfort and safety to patients: the treatment is performed during surgery, when anesthesia ensures the absence of pain. In the postoperative period, the use of painkillers and specific ointments ensures that comfort is maintained!
