Fractional CO2 Laser for Smoker’s Lines & Stubborn Wrinkles

18 Sep, 2024 0

The cooler months of the year are the perfect time to focus on rejuvenating your skin and addressing any concerns that have been bothering you. For many, smoker’s lines and stubborn wrinkles are a significant source of frustration. These lines and wrinkles are often caused by years of sun exposure, smoking or simply the natural ageing process, and they can be challenging to treat with traditional methods. Fortunately, the advanced technology of Fractional CO2 Laser treatment offers an effective solution for these specific skin concerns.

What is Fractional CO2 Laser?

The Fractional CO2 Laser is a cutting-edge skin resurfacing treatment that uses a carbon dioxide laser to precisely target and treat specific areas of the skin. Unlike traditional laser treatments that can remove entire layers of skin, this technology works by creating microscopic columns of treated skin surrounded by healthy, untreated skin. This approach allows for faster healing and less downtime while still delivering significant improvements.

Skin Concerns That Can Be Addressed

  • Smoker’s Lines – Smoker’s lines are the fine vertical lines that form around the mouth. These lines are often more pronounced in smokers due to the repetitive motion of pursing the lips. The Fractional CO2 Laser treatment can help to effectively smooth these lines by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
  • Wrinkles – Wrinkles, both fine and deep, are a common sign of ageing. The Fractional CO2 Laser targets wrinkles by promoting the regeneration of healthy skin cells and increasing collagen production. This process helps to fill in and smooth out wrinkles, leading to a fresher, more rejuvenated complexion.
  • Photodamage – Caused by prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays, photodamage can lead to uneven skin tone, pigmentation and texture issues. Our Fractional CO2 Laser can effectively address these concerns by removing damaged skin cells and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin, resulting in a more even skin tone and a reduction in the visible effects of sun damage.
  • Depressed Scars – The Fractional CO2 Laser can significantly improve the appearance of depressed scars, such as those caused by acne or injury. By promoting collagen remodelling and skin resurfacing, scars can become less noticeable over a series of treatments.
  • Stretch Marks – Stretch marks often occur due to rapid weight changes or pregnancy. Fractional CO2 Laser therapy can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibres, helping to improve skin elasticity and make stretch marks less visible over time.

How it Works

Fractional CO2 Laser treatment works by delivering controlled laser energy into the skin, creating thousands of tiny, deep columns of tissue coagulation. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin.

The surrounding healthy skin remains intact, allowing for faster healing and reduced downtime. This targeted approach ensures that the skin can be successfully smoothed and tightened while eliminating the risks associated with more abrasive lasers.

Expected Results & Improvements

Patients can expect improvements in their skin’s texture, tone and overall appearance, such as a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, diminished appearance of scars, more even skin pigmentation and improved skin elasticity.

Recovery time can vary depending on the intensity of the treatment, but most patients can expect to see initial results within a week, with continued improvements over the next few months as collagen production increases.

To enhance the results of your Fractional CO2 Laser treatment, consider the following:

  • Alastin Skin Nectar – Specifically designed for laser treatments, this newly stocked skincare range can help prepare and soothe the skin, promoting faster healing and better results from treatments such as the Fractional CO2 Laser.
  • Skin Microneedling – Undergoing 3-4 sessions of skin needling beforehand can dramatically improve your outcomes by further stimulating collagen production.
  • Rejuran – Using a Bio filler such as Rejuran can further help collagen production and speed up the healing process.

Why The Cooler Months are the Best Time for Treatment

One critical factor that can affect the success of Fractional CO2 Laser treatment is avoiding sun exposure during the healing process. This is why the cooler months are an ideal time for undergoing this procedure. With less intense sun and more time spent indoors, your skin will be better protected from harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring optimal healing. We recommend scheduling your treatments between June and September, allowing for two sessions per year to maintain results.
