We live longer\nthan ever, and most of us also want to look good on the road. Fortunately, with\nthe advent of new technologies, we now have something to say about how well we\nwant our skin to look. The CO-2 Fractional laser, the working horse of the\n1990s, has been completely redesigned with a turn of the 21st century, and its\nmost recent reincarnation is the ” CO 2 FRACTIONAL LASER”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new and\nrevolutionary laser is applied on the face and neck to eliminate fine lines,\nareas of hyperpigmentation, acne scars, unwanted folds and sagging skin. One of\nthe impressive results of the treatment with the CO-2 fractional laser Costa Rica is\nthe elimination of “smoker lines” on the upper and lower lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing\nthat happens is the application of an anesthetic cream in the area to be\ntreated. This cream is then covered with a light coat of Saran Wrap to allow\nnumbed agents to penetrate deeply into your skin. Then the cream is removed and\nthe skin is cleaned. If a deep renovation with CO-2 fractional laser Costa Rica is\nplanned, Demerol and other strong pain relievers can be administered to ensure\nthat the procedure is painless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After covering\nthe eyes with small laser light glasses, the doctor passes the laser quickly\nand steadily through the skin. You do not feel anything, except for a soft heat\non the skin, but you can hear the slight whistle of the laser as it works its\nmagic. The fractional laser, tightly controlled, penetrates a quarter of an\ninch into your skin with a narrow beam of light. The heat of the laser extends\nlaterally under the skin and attracts certain cells called fibroblasts and\nmacrophages, responsible for the stretching and repair of the skin unlike many\nother treatments, the C02 laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the\nprocedure, you will look a little pink, the same way your skin would look if\nyou spent a few hours in the California\nsun without sunscreen. The nurses bring you two zip lines full of ice and the\nice against your forehead and your cheeks feel so good. Eliminates the small\namount of heat that follows laser treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s all that\nconstitutes a laser treatment with CO-2 fractional laser Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the next\nfive days, the pink skin becomes more and tenser. At this point, return to the\ndoctor’s office and the nurse helps remove the dead brown skin with a unique\nfacial treatment. When you look in the mirror after the facial, you see a\ntense, healthy-looking skin with no lines and dark, hyperpigmented spots. As\nthe days go by, the pink color disappears and, looking at yourself in the\nmirror; you say to yourself: “What a difference laser therapy makes! I\nlook between 10 and 15 years younger.” This is the typical experience that\nwe all share when we have CO-2 fractional laser therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The previous\ngeneration of lasers caused ablation of the skin by burning the surface, while\nthe new laser penetrates along a narrow column below the dermis of the skin and\nextends laterally. This saves many of the cells on the surface and allows much\nmore energy to penetrate the areas where it is needed. Here the power literally\n“lights up” the dormant repair cells that begin to form long columns\nof collagen and elastin. This results in the rejuvenation and stretching of the\nskin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What this means is that the recovery time of the skin is reduced and we heal faster than with the previous generation of lasers. The fine lines around the mouth and eyes are gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
