The fractionated CO2 technology has revolutionized our ability to treat moderate to severe skin aging and scarring with minimal downtime. In the past, the C02 laser the best treatment so the effectiveness was standard (unfractionated). Unfortunately, while hardening the dramatic production Skin and soft lines, the standard depth of the CO2 laser peel often cause permanent skin lightening.

From CO2 harnesses the power of CO2, but decreased the likelihood of skin lightening by splitting a laser beam (treating a portion of the surface of the skin both).

For treatment a fraction of the surface of the skin, healthy skin is not about helping the healing process and reduces the chances of hypopigmentation (permanent lighting the skin), scars, or prolonged redness. By controlling the density of treatment (the percentage of the surface of the skin is actually touched by the laser) and depth or laser power, a skilled surgeon can tailor a fractional CO2 skin rejuvenation treatment of the dramatic results in most skin types.

In our practice, the CO2 laser from Lumenis UltraPulse used for this treatment. This was the first device introduction of CO2 fractional resurfacing and has progressed considerably since treatment options and settings. The Active FX is the name given by the company to split their treatment done with a spot size of 1.25 standard mm. At this spot size of the depth of treatment is relatively superficial, but by the increased density and / or frequency of pulses, one can achieve firming quite dramatic skin and improving texture. Deep FX is the name given to the treatment performed with a reduced spot size of 0.12 mm. The smallest spot means more power which means that the laser goes deeper into the tissue. However, it is still divided, so it is quite strong. Total FX: a combination Active FX In depth and size of the spot exchange. In general, the Deep FX is used in deeper lines or scars (around the lips or corners of eyes in most patients). Active FX is then feathered in these areas and the rest of the face. This combination is currently considered to provide the best rejuvenation total with a faster recovery and minimal risk, the company said.

In our practice, our patients are very satisfied with Active FX, and when the deep wrinkles around the lips softened further with the FX profound has been the icing on the cake for them.

The cost of the CO2 laser skin resurfacing divided varies. Some clinics have nurses doing FX and Active FX sometimes profound. The problem is that the outcome depends largely on the comfort level and experience of the practitioner. Density of treatment may vary from 1 to 5, where only a doctor should be the laser treatment. Another factor is the brand of laser used. The Lumenis UltraPulse has existed the longest and has the best record with the parameters set. Also the most expensive laser almost 150,000 dollars to purchase. You should normally expect a combination of treatment or total FX "which combines various point sizes will be more expensive. This requires more time and planning by the surgeon, and also more expensive equipment.

A final test can affect the cost of treatment is "after of care. "The treatment facility must have an aesthetic experience that has been trained to deal with the skin after laser. The esthetician should provide quality products for skin care and guidance, without which patients feel they pay a "fee for the second procedure or cost prohibitive for products.
