About Fractional Co2 laser machine

The CO2 Fractional resurfacing laser is carbon dioxide laser which precisely removes deep outer layers of damaged skin and stimulates the regeneration of healthy skin underneath. The CO2 treats fine to moderately deep wrinkles, photo damage, scarring, skin tone, texture, crepiness and laxity.The LaserTell Fractional Co2 system has a unique ultra pulse mode that allows operators to adjust the pulse width and interval, ensuring a wide variety of surgical applications is possible. Advantages include:

• Precise tissue vaporisation and coagulation
• Improved surgical visibility and inherent sterilisation
• Excellent haemostatic with generally no dressing required
• Reduced surgical time and minimal postoperative discomfort
• Precise surgery with minimal damage to tissue
• Minimal necrosis adjacent to the target

How Fractional Laser works

LaserTell fractional laser simultaneously treats the epidermis for pigmentation and fine lines. Additionally, the dermis for skin tightening, acne scars, deeper wrinkles and enlarged pores. The overall skin texture and the tone is improved. It is safe with a low pain level and can be used to treat the face, neck, chest, hand and arms.

The fractional laser produces arrays of micro-ablative zones, eliminating discolorations at the epidermis, while sparing the tissues surrounding each ablative zone. At specific depth of dermis, the deeper micro-thermal zones cause immediate collagen contraction, and long-term collagen remodelling. During each treatment only 6-20% of the whole treatment area is ablated with 80-94% of tissue remaining intact and acting as a natural supporting bandage. As a result downtime is minimal and healing is fast.

Depending on the applied energy level (energy, distance, degree), string thermal effect takes place in volumetric area depth from 100 to 1000 microns.

The scan is accurate even and fast – thanks to the advanced scanner, imported from Germany.

The fractional CO2 laser device can be tuned to target the superficial layers of the skin with lower energy settings resulting in the improvement of dyschromias, fine lines, mild scarring and skin texture. Laser energy levels can be adjusted to target deep collagen remodeling to impact deeper wrinkles and scars and to achieve skin tightening. Patient discomfort is kept to a minimum and topical anaesthesia is usually all that is needed.

The procedure is highly tolerable with most patients describing the sensation during and after treatment as “hot”. The heat and soreness last for between 1 to 3 hours after the procedure during which the skin appears bright pink. The patient may appear “sunburnt” for about 2 days after which tiny brown crusts are seen on the treated areas. These crusts eventually detach and the skin is crust-free after about 5-7 days. Post-operative care is simple. The use of an emollient is encouraged and avoidance of sun-exposure during the healing phase is essential.
