The removal of an outer skin pores layer to improve the way the texture is a concept that could be around for decades. Before, this has included chemical peels and, in the in the past decade, laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing essentially 'burns' off a top-notch layer (the depths can be extremely varied from 6 microns to countless microns) and allows brand - new skin (epithelium) to heal with this complete, removing some imperfections as well as improving the texture of the skin. Recovery from laser resurfacing varies and also depth to because it is done, a 10 micron laser peel definitely a few days, a 100 micron laser peel is what 7 to 10 hours. The depth issue thanks to, laser resurfacing always shows some recovery (as this can be a burn) and it really treats the outer layers of the epidermis.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing takes a conceptually different approach. Besides 'burning' 100% of the skin's surface that it hits, it only treats or penetrates a 'fraction' of computer. For every area treated, it may only not at all hit 10 - 20% of the skin area. Hence, a fraxel treatment approach. But similarly importantly, the laser penetrates deeper (hundreds of microns) for that skin, actually stimulating the deepest the main skin layers. (think of it as boring holes much like you do to lawn to allow nutrients position 'to the roots' and speak) Because only several of the skin is treated, there is less recovery than with traditional laser resurfacing even though the depth of laser penetration is a lot deeper. Also because this has been fractional, it requires a series of treatment, at least all five, to effectively get the very skin's surface treated. Theoretically, there is more a good anti-aging effect (due for people deeper penetration) but less recovery mainly because of less skin being injured simultaneously.
Fractional laser resurfacing of complexion is being currently touted as being better than traditional device resurfacing. The evidence to help that claim, to wedding, is still conclusively lacking. Plus, I am not sure the laser knows during sequential treatments shooting previous skin areas that have yet to be treated. (of course, it can't know, so some skin destinations undoubtably get treated more than once and some probably are missed altogether after we are talking about fractions of millimeters here) For this reason, it probably take 6 or 7 treatments to seriously treat all facial skin areas with the laser's target. Despite practicing these reservations, fractional laser resurfacing remains appealing and more time will tell exactly its role in medical skin resurfacing turns out to be.
