Laser Fractional CO2 SMARTXIDE and Erbium YAG Fractional
The revolutionary Fractional CO₂ and Erbium YAG technology available at our clinic allows for the “digital processing” of the skin, correcting imperfections cell by cell. The laser delivers energy in microscopic beams of light beneath the epidermis, creating tiny dot-like channels on the surface. This method allows energy to reach the deeper layers of the skin, thereby stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin.
The Fractional CO₂ and Erbium YAG Laser is effectively applied for:
- Skin resurfacing
- Stretch mark treatment
- Wrinkle reduction
- Treatment of acne scars
- Post-surgical/traumatic scar correction
- Anti-aging
- Photoaging – Facial tightening
- Pigmented lesions
The CO₂ and Erbium YAG Fractional Lasers achieve substantial facial rejuvenation and restructuring by erasing the visible signs of aging. In addition to their ability to stimulate fibroblasts in the skin, they also remove damaged and aged cells.
Advantages
The Erbium YAG and CO₂ Fractional Lasers surpass previous techniques as they act on both the epidermal cells and the deeper skin layers. When targeting the deeper layers, the outer layer of the skin remains intact, allowing for new tissue formation beneath the epidermis. They can also reduce red stretch marks and significantly minimize even white stretch marks.
These lasers are also commonly used to treat other skin conditions such as warts, freckles, melasma, hemangiomas, and age spots. The CO₂ Fractional Laser is additionally applied in cases of scars, effectively correcting and eliminating them.
Skin tightening
Facial laxity is an early sign of aging, and the Fractional Laser provides impressive results. Typically, 2–3 sessions are required for effective skin tightening, with optimal results achieved when combined with PRP treatment.
Scars and stretch marks:
The Fractional Laser is the most advanced method for treating scars. It remodels the deformed scar tissue by stimulating new collagen and elastin production, delivering visible and remarkable results after several sessions. Over time, and throughout the healing period, the skin regenerates and is replaced with new, healthy tissue.
Photoaging:
Over time, the skin develops fine lines (especially around the eyes and mouth) and pigmentation issues due to intense sun exposure — particularly common in countries like Greece. The Fractional Laser can erase these signs of aging, restoring a youthful, radiant appearance without causing excessive peeling. The number of sessions required depends on the severity of the condition, typically repeated every 3–4 weeks. Redness may persist for a few hours, and the use of sunscreen is essential.
Acne
The CO₂ Fractional Laser is highly effective for treating acne scars. The duration and frequency of sessions depend on the severity of the condition and are usually scheduled every 3–4 weeks. Facial redness may last a few days, and sunscreen use is crucial.
Skin conditions:
The CO₂ and Erbium YAG Lasers are also used to treat warts, papillomas, warts caused by HPV, and certain types of moles (nevi). The laser precisely vaporizes targeted tissue while allowing for fast healing. Its application is particularly important for treating various HPV strains that develop on the skin.
- A topical anesthetic cream is applied during the procedure to minimize discomfort. The duration of the treatment depends on the specific area being treated.
