LASER SURGERY

Laser Surgery
Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Laser Surgery

The CO2 laser is a small beam of light that allows the vaporization of unwanted superficial cellular layers, avoiding damage to healthy tissue and providing a scar-free and bloodless repair. Within the 3-4 mm that the light beam penetrates, it triggers a process of collagen fibre stimulation, which had been dwindling, by reactivating new fibroblasts—cells responsible for producing new collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin—restoring tone and elasticity to the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, back of the hands, or other areas of the body. The treatment should be repeated after 7 days to consolidate the result and maintain it for several months.
