The CO2 laser is a highly specialized device that uses a carbon dioxide light source to treat a variety of dermatological conditions with impressive results. The CO2 laser uses a fractionated approach, which means it emits microscopic beams of light in the form of dots, leaving surrounding areas of skin intact. This promotes rapid recovery and minimizes the risk of side effects. The specific wavelength of the CO2 laser allows for deep penetration into the layers of the skin, making it an effective option for treating dermatological issues in the deeper layers, such as wrinkles, scars, and uneven pigmentation.
