What is fractional CO2 laser? Fractional CO2 laser is the latest non-invasive resurfacing procedure that works on the concept of fractional photothermolysis whereby high power laser energy is delivered into the skin in many narrow microbeams over fractions of areas. This induces heat injury to the superficial layer of the treated skin. The untreated normal tissue surrounding the thermally damaged zones accelerates the healing process followed by remodeling and new collagen formation. How does Lumenis UltraPulse® Fractional CO2 laser work? It utilizes the technology of DeepFx, ActiveFx and Total Fx modes to deliver high power of narrow microbeams into layers of skin to treat various skin conditions. It is used most effectively for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation on the face, neck and hands of both men and women. What advantages does Lumenis UltraPulse® has compared to other CO2 laser machines? Lumenis Ultrapulse® is six times more powerful than other CO2 lasers and twice the treatmen...
