CO2 LASER SKIN RESURFACING

Laser skin resurfacing was introduced in the late 1980s by major medical equipment manufacturers as an alternative to mechanical skin abrasion or abrasion using so-called “chemical peels.”

The devices produced by medical equipment manufacturers have the advantage of smoothing the skin via surface heating with a lessened risk of scarring.

The energy produced by the CO2 laser is absorbed in the very top layers of the epidermis, largely through heating the water contained in skin cells. The heating effect removes the top layer of epidermis and part of the dermis below. This produces changes in the skin that leave it looking smoother, with fewer wrinkles.

As the skin heals following the treatment with CO2 laser, formation of collagen and elastin fibers make the healed skin firmer and smoother.
