What is the application process like?
An anesthetic cream is applied approximately 30 minutes before the laser application. Laser application time usually takes around half an hour. After the application, mild edema, redness and microscopic spots are seen. Crusting starts after about 48 hours. The crusts fall off between 4 and 7 days, and the renewed skin emerges from the bottom. During this period, it can be easily found in social environments by using concealer.
According to the condition of the problem, fractional CO2 laser treatment is performed in 2-5 sessions with an interval of 4 weeks. For example, if there is a wrinkle problem, even 2 sessions are sufficient, while 5 sessions may be required for deep acne scars.
Fractional CO2 laser application initiates the body's natural repair processes in the skin, where evaporation in microscopic columns is applied. In this way, besides the tightening of the collagen fibers, the formation of new collagen fibers takes place.
