Since wrinkles are commonly perceived as a sign of advancing years many beauty treatments are marketed to reduce wrinkles.  Given the premium value placed in our society on the value of beauty and youthfulness as a way to enjoy both social and business success, a proliferation of wrinkles is not something the average American considers a virtue.

Yet sagging skin is not difficult to reduce with the latest technological breakthroughs.   We’re not talking about expensive cosmetic surgery, but something much easier—a method called Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing.  Moreover, this method does more than simply tighten skin and significantly reduce wrinkles–it also reduces the size of enlarged pores and makes noticeable scars, skin blemishes and sun damage nearly disappear.  Resulting in new, refreshed, radiant skin, that will continue to improve over the next few months as restored collagen growth continues.

How Safe Is Fractional CO2 Resurfacing Skin Treatment?

In 2003, the FDA approved Fractional CO2 Laser Wrinkle Reduction treatment for soft tissue coagulation.  Then, in the following year, they approved it for skin resurfacing.  The treatment is called Fractional C02 Laser Resurfacing.

When it comes to skin treatment, one of the main concerns people have is safety.  After all, it does not make any sense to pay for a beauty treatment that might jeopardize health, cause undesirable side-effects, or make things worse.  Since Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing, tightens skin with a very gentle laser beam technology, the method is completely safe because the skin heals without infections.  There are no complications or distortions affecting one’s beauty.

Another concern many people have about skin treatment is how long it takes and whether it is uncomfortable during and after the procedure.  With Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing, the minimum time necessary is a half-hour and the maximum time is an hour.  As for pain and distress, there is only minimal, barely noticeable discomfort during the treatment.   Some patients report that it feels like minor sunburn.  During a healing period of about two days, the patient will experience a burning sensation and swelling.  The affected skin will dry and peel off three to four days later.  There will be noticeable difference in beautiful new skin.  The patient will see a softening of creases, tightening of skin, reduced pore size, and elimination of sunspots.

The radiant new skin will have even skin tone and texture.  Improvements in skin will continue for the next several months due to collagen regrowth.

Summary

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing Skin Treatment is a quick, risk free alternative to cosmetic surgery that targets a variety of skin problems.  It is an ideal way to reduce wrinkles and minimize unsightly blemishes and scars.
