Fractional CO2 Laser: Advanced Skin Resurfacing with Cutera Secret Pro
What is Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment?
Fractional CO2 laser treatment is a cutting-edge skin resurfacing procedure that uses laser energy to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Here’s how it works:
- Precision Targeting: The Cutera Secret Pro delivers microscopic beams of CO2 laser energy into the skin.
- Controlled Micro-Injuries: These beams create tiny columns of treated tissue, leaving surrounding areas intact.
- Skin Regeneration: The micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen production and skin cell renewal..
Simple Explanation of Fractional CO2 Laser Mechanism
- Targeted Treatment: The laser creates tiny holes in specific areas of your skin.
- Stimulating Regrowth: These small treated areas encourage the surrounding healthy skin to grow and spread, filling in the holes with fresh, new growth.
- Overall Rejuvenation: The result is a healthier, smoother, more youthful skin without disturbing the entire surface.
