Can the CO2 laser technology be used for treating very mild skin conditions?
Yes. With this new laser technology, skin resurfacing is so precise that you can tailor each treatment according to the nature and extent of photodamage, wrinkling, and skin type. Both the Active-FX and Deep FX peel use the unique CO2 Lite feature which allows you to achieve a superficial laser peel with just one pass of the laser. Treatment is very safe because all laser activity is confined specifically to the epidermis, the outer most layer of skin, leaving little to no thermal injury in the dermis, the deeper layer of skin consisting of connective tissue. In addition, the laser utilizes a cooling system that minimizes thermal conduction of heat to deeper tissues which greatly reduces your recovery time.
