WHAT IS CO2 LASER SKIN RESURFACING?
CO2 is a Carbon Dioxide laser that has been used for more
than 25 years in the Aesthetics Industry for treatment of skin conditions such
as fine and coarse wrinkles, scars of various orgins, uneven pigmentation and
dilated pores. When a CO2 beam of light comes in contact with the epidermis it
heats and vaporizes the skin tissue, instantly removing the superficial layers
of skin, scars and wrinkles while smoothing out the surface of the skin. This
skin remodelling occurs with new skin and collagen growth.
FRACTIONAL SKIN RESUFACING and its
BENIFITS
Fractional Skin Resurfacing is a Revolutionary Delivery
System that increases the possibilities for busy people who want healthy,
younger looking skin with minimal pain in a short period of time. The MiXto
combines the benefits of a CO2 laser with a micro spot size of 300 microns that
can treat 20-100% of the scanned area. Using a computerized pattern generator
and a new scanning algorithm, thermal heat is dispersed within the epidermis
while evenly treating damaged areas. This particular algorithm dramatically
reduces pain, the need for anesthesia, and recovery time. Single treatments can
show a significant improvement in skin texture and color.
RISKS
Erythema (redness of skin); The laser-treated areas have a
distinctive redness representing increased blood flow due to the growth of the
superficial tissue and collagen. It will gradually fade during the first two
days.
Infalmmation (swelling); Treatment with the MiXto System
presents a minimal amount of swelling that can last up to 24 hours.
Hyperpigmentation (tanning); This is presented after the
third day of the procedure but then begins to shed and reveal younger healthy
looking skin.
A personal interview and clinical examniation will be

past.
If you are prone to cold sores, you ned to ask your doctor
for an antivirus prescription before the treatment.
