Treatment scope and characteristics of CO2 laser

The CO2 laser is a kind of molecular laser. The main material is carbon dioxide molecules. The working material is not only carbon dioxide but also nitrogen and helium. Laser treatment of the skin has no side effects, little damage, and almost no risk of surgery. The CO2 laser can vaporize tissues to achieve therapeutic purposes. The CO2 laser is widely used in plastic surgery and dermatology and can be used to treat benign skin tumors, viral skin diseases, vascular skin diseases, and other skin diseases.

Treatment range of CO2 laser

The CO2 laser can generally be used for the treatment of chloasma, various kinds of color spots, localized pimples, or other skin tumors. The basic principle of CO2 laser is the local photothermal effect. Through the photothermal effect, the lattice laser produces a small light beam arranged in a display pattern, which acts on the skin in the form of multiple three-dimensional micro-damaged areas, and these micro-damaged areas are surrounded by uninjured normal tissue cells, so the skin damage to the treatment site is small, and the recovery is fast. So we can treat various skin diseases. The treatment of CO2 laser is widely used in the clinic, with fewer side effects, and is easy to be accepted by patients. It is recommended to apply antifungal ointment or antiphlogistic lotion to the skin after the CO2 laser according to the doctor's instructions to prevent skin infection. If there is redness and swelling in the skin after the operation, ice can also be used to relieve the symptoms of redness and swelling.

Characteristics of CO2 laser

At present, the treatment of CO2 laser is mainly carried out by lattice CO2 laser in the clinic. The basic principle is the focal photo-thermal action. Through the photo-thermal action, the lattice laser generates a small light beam arranged in a display pattern, which acts on the skin in the form of multiple three-dimensional micro-injury areas, and these micro-injury areas are surrounded by uninjured normal tissue cells, so the skin damage to the treatment site is small, and the recovery is fast. The treatment of CO2 laser is widely used in clinical practice, with fewer side effects, and is easy to be accepted by patients. It can generally be used for the treatment of chloasma, various color spots, keloids, or other skin tumors.

CO2 laser refers to the far infrared ray with a wavelength of 1060 nm, which can use the local thermal effect to destroy the diseased tissue non-specific and carbonize the diseased tissue. It is mainly used to treat benign vegetations, such as condyloma acuminatum, and superficial tumors on the body surface, such as dermatophytes, miliary papules, syringoma, etc. However, CO2 laser treatment can leave a scar on the cured part, so it should be noted that if it involves cosmetic parts, it is better to avoid using it. At the same time, after laser treatment, we should avoid contact with water for the time being, avoid strong sunlight and vigorous exercise, do not remove the scab, let it fall off naturally, and the recovery effect will be better. Pay attention to the care of the wound to avoid infection.
