skin rejuvenation
Fractional Co2 and Erbium-YAG lasers are used to rejuvenate the face. This skin rejuvenation method improves the appearance and firmness of the skin. It is also possible for laser surgery to heal and treat various surgical scars.
Operation technique
Fractional laser is a new method in skin regeneration and stimulation of collagen fibers, which by thermal evaporation of columns from the skin tissue to the desired depth, without damaging the areas between us, increases the firmness of the skin and eliminates fine wrinkles. With the use of fractional lasers, patients will experience shorter recovery periods and fewer Possible side effects.
Duration of action
The duration of laser skin rejuvenation varies depending on the location and extent of the area being treated, but takes approximately 10 to 45 minutes. The number of laser treatment sessions and intervals varies from person to person depending on skin color, age, and type of lesion, and varies from 1 to 4 sessions at intervals of at least one month.
Anesthesia
Laser skin rejuvenation is possible by local anesthesia or induction of IV Sedation.
Inpatient / outpatient status
The skin rejuvenation laser is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization afterwards.
Possible side effects
