At Lounès in Stockholm, we offer a unique hybrid solution that combines ablative and non-ablative laser technology to treat a variety of skin problems. This article will guide you through everything you need to know about this groundbreaking treatment.
What is Fractional CO2 Laser?
Fractional CO2 laser is an advanced technology used to treat the superficial layers and deeper structures of the skin. By creating microscopic lesions in the skin, the laser stimulates collagen production, which leads to improved skin tone, reduced wrinkles and a more youthful complexion.
Advantages of Fractional CO2 Laser
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
- Treats acne scars and surgery scars
- Improves skin elasticity and structure
- Reduces pigment spots and uneven skin tone
- Reduces large pores
How Does the Treatment Work?
Treatment begins with thorough cleansing of the skin. Next, hybrid CO2 laser is applied in controlled pulses that create tiny channels in the skin. This allows for a double effect:
- Ablative part: Removes dead skin cells and stimulates skin regeneration.
- Non-ablative part: Works at deeper levels of the skin for long-term collagen production.
After treatment, a soothing cream is applied to reduce redness and irritation. The recovery time is short thanks to the fractional technique.
What Skin Problems Can Be Treated?
Fractional laser is incredibly versatile and can treat a range of skin problems, including:
- Acne scars:
The laser evens out the structure of the skin and reduces the visibility of old acne scars. - Wrinkles and Fine Lines:
