Concerns that Fractional Co2 Laser Resurfacing® helps with in Navy nagar :
Content accuracy verified by: Dr. Aakriti Mehra
In the earlier days of laser treatment for acne scars, your dermatologist would have spoken to you about using ablative or non-ablative lasers for the treatment. Ablative lasers act on the deeper layers of the skin which contain connective tissue and hence stimulate them to grow. Non-ablative laser work mostly on the superficial layers of skin. With the advent of the fractional Co2 laser, things have changed for the better. It works on both the epidermis and dermis.
The fractional Co2 laser removes the superficial layers of skin, taking along with it the damaged tissue. It also acts on the deeper layers of the dermis, where through heat and energy it stimulates the body to make new collagen. The principle on which it works is to deliver a laser beam that is divided into thousands of deep but tiny columns known as micro treatment zones. the micro action of expelling damaged and pigmented epidermal cells as well as collagen remodeling in deeper dermal tissue happens in each of these zones. What results, is your skin being 'resurfaced' with a fresh and new appearance. It doesn't just help with the scars, but also works on removing pigmentation and helps against superficial wrinkles etc. However, considering that we Indians in general have a darker skin tone, we must be careful of the risks and the after care required. Please read about them in the relevant sections of this page.
