Fractional Technology: How it Works

  • The Phoenix CO2 laser emits light at a wavelength of 10,600nm that is absorbed strongly by water down to the lower dermis.
  • Each pulse of CO2 energy ablates a vaporized column of tissue. As ablation occurs, deep heating stimulates collagen growth and remodelling.
  • The laser energy is distributed in an even pattern, leaving little areas of untreated skin in-between spots. This facilitates the healing process and reduces patient downtime.

Outcome and Prognosis

Results of laser resurfacing are good to excellent depending on the indication for which the procedure was performed.

Patient satisfaction is based on the delivery of natural results with minimal downtime and a low incidence of complications.

Actinic changes are improved to the greatest degree. Wrinkles typically are improved by 60-80%, while scars are improved to a lesser degree.

Improvement can be seen in deeper skin folds of the cheeks, forehead, and neck, malar bags, and even in the excess skin of the upper eyelid (pseudo blepharoplasty effect), but their improvements are less predictable.

Static lines are improved to a greater degree than dynamic lines. Treatment of these dynamic lines with botulinum toxin A provides significant improvement.

Heat stimulates the sub dermal collagen to regenerate over 60 – 90 days. Patients should be reassessed and/or retreated at 3 – 6 months.
