CO2 Fractional Laser
CO2 laser is an important tool in medicine due to its precision and versatility. At Yuvani Aesthetic Clinic, Kharghar, CO2 laser treatment is highly effective for various skin issues like deep acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, stretch marks, and mole/wart removal.
What is CO2 Fractional Laser?
CO2 fractional laser is a cutting-edge skin resurfacing treatment that utilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers to improve the appearance of the skin. This procedure is designed to treat wrinkles, scars, pigmentation issues, and overall skin texture. Unlike traditional CO2 lasers that treat the entire skin surface, fractional lasers target specific areas, allowing for quicker recovery and reduced side effects.
How Does It Work?
The laser emits a beam of light absorbed by the water in skin cells, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue regeneration. It creates microscopic columns of thermal damage while leaving surrounding tissue intact, leading to faster healing. Our surgical tip is also designed for precision removal of moles and warts without affecting surrounding tissue.
