What is CO2 laser?

The CO2 laser is a technology whose source is CO2 or carbon dioxide, and whose target or objective is water, making it an ablative laser, which evaporates the tissues containing this water molecule.

Are all CO2 lasers the same?

No, and this is fundamental when performing a procedure with a Co2 laser. In PlasticSkin we have the Co2 SmartXide Point Laser, DEKA brand, Italian technology. This laser has different pulse modes, which safely allows us to work on all skin types.

This brand of laser is known worldwide as the ferrari of CO2 lasers, as it is the only one that has scientific endorsement, yielding differential results of high quality compared to other similar equipment of Chinese or Korean origin.

What can we treat with Co2 laser?

1. Eliminate or remove non-malignant skin lesions such as: moles, lax fibromas, warts, seborrheic keratosis, syringomas, xanthelasmas, among others.
2. Treat stretch marks, acne scars, atrophic, hypertrophic, keloids, and scars after surgical procedures.
3. Surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty or laser bichectomy.
Rhinophyma treatment.
5. Global rejuvenation of skin quality (resurfacing).

Is Co2 Laser contraindicated for any type of person?

Yes, in patients with active local pathologies at the time of laser treatment such as: infections, acne, herpes.

How many sessions does it require?

To remove non-malignant skin lesions such as: moles, lax fibromas, warts, seborrheic keratoses, syringomas or xanthelasmas, a single session is required, and a control assessment 2 months after the procedure. For scar management, 1 to 5 sessions depending on the scar. For blepharoplasty or laser bichectomy, a single session is required.

What care is necessary after the procedure?

The most important thing is to avoid the sun, always using physical means of sun protection such as sunglasses, hat, umbrella and always sunscreen, which protects against ultraviolet radiation UV-A, UV-B, visible light and infrared light. In addition, we suggest a specific healing cream on the treated area.

Is the procedure disabling?

Not at all.

Who performs the procedure?

Dr Dariela Capacho, specialist in Dermatology and subspecialist in laser and aesthetics, and Dr Ricardo Botache, specialist in Plastic Surgery, doctors staff of PlasticSkin.

What other applications does it have?

- Complex scars.
- Surgical procedures such as laser blepharoplasty or laser bichectomy.
