New generation eCO2 fractional laser: safe, efficient, comfortable

LUTRONIC means innovation, reliability and excellence.  Such is the newest product of Korean company: new generation eCO2 fractional laser. Mercedes among CO2 lasers, extremely efficient, only one worldwide  with so wide functional spectrum. What is the most important, it is safe for the patient, comfortable and doesn’t need long recuperation period, what is proved by CE and FDA restrictive certificates. 

CO2 lasers with scanner have been the gold standard of skin recovery for the last two decades of 20th century. They were resulted with excellent effects of skin smoothing, also wrinkles and scars reduction. In spite of undoubted effects, the procedures were accompanied with huge pain, requiring general anesthesia, very hard condition for a few days after, strong swelling and redness for a dozen of weeks and longtime of coming back to normal skin condition, also high risk of complications. As one can guess, the procedures weren’t so popular.

Luckily, today these are only bad memories. New CO2 fractional lasers by creating the network of micro craters with help of laser beam, they achieve much more better results of wrinkles reduction and skin firming than non-ablation fractional lasers. CO2 fractional laser works with laser beam 10600nm wave long, evaporating from 10 to 30 percent of skin surface in one session. These lasers perfectly remove wrinkles and recover skin, act more efficiently and faster than non-ablation lasers, with shorter time of coming back to normal look.

How CO2 laser works?

In fractional skin smoothing with CO2 laser, laser beam provided with scanner “perforates” skin with thousands of micro craters, but there is always undamaged surface among them left. The rapid healing process starts from these undamaged skin zones, during which the skin is being recovered. Damages scar over very quickly, what basically decrease the complication risk. Each area treated with laser beam, called micro crater, is surrounded with the layer of reversibly overheated collagen, which begins his rebuilding, and increase of skin firmness in the end. Creation of new collagen lasts from 3 to 6 months and during this time the skin improves its condition.

Skin smoothing with CO2 laser reduces small wrinkles, improves skin shade and texture, closes big pores and reestablish skin firmness. More aggressive treatment  – with high energy and deep penetration impulses, eliminates deep wrinkles, scars (even these overgrown, so called keloids) and stretchmarks.  Working with CO2 fractional laser, there is precision what is very important and ideal perpendicular depositing of laser impulses in the tissue. This enormously impacts the procedure quality and efficiency and the recovery after.  All patients with every skin problem can be qualified to the laser therapy. Whereas healing time will be the best for people with thick and well moisturized skin.

Effects guaranteed

First effects can be visible after 3 days after procedure.
