Do you think your face is showing signs of aging? As we get older, our skin loses its elasticity and signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin begin to appear. One of our most appreciated treatments at Estetikcentrum is fractional CO2 laser, which is a modern technology that makes it possible to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. We call it magical, because it has the ability to awaken the body's own healing ability.
Lasers on the face may sound a little scary to many, but the truth is that this treatment is gentle and suitable for most skin types. We can explain it as thin, focused laser beams creating small channels in the skin's surface. They are so small that we can call them microscopic. By causing these controlled injuries to the skin, the body's own healing process can be activated, which in turn leads to the skin being stimulated and repairing itself. As this happens, the body's production of collagen and elastin increases and the result is a skin structure that is firmer and more even.
When is CO2 laser suitable?
CO2 laser is a very effective treatment that can be used to treat a variety of things. It is particularly effective against scars, which includes both acne scars and other types of scar tissue. At the same time, it works great against fine lines, uneven pigmentation, stretch marks and signs of sun-damaged skin. Many people choose to treat the face, but we can also help you treat the neck, décolleté or hands.
What we like most about our CO2 laser is that the effect can often be seen after just one treatment. In some cases, however, several treatments may be required to get the result you want. This is especially true for very deep scarring or deep wrinkles. When you come to us for your consultation, we will talk through your needs together and set up a plan that suits you.
This is how it works at Estetikcentrum
Before the treatment, you will meet with one of our skilled and experienced skin therapists who will carefully assess your skin. The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and you will have the option of anesthesia if you are concerned about discomfort. Afterwards, you can expect some redness and swelling, a bit like after a sunburn, but this often goes away within a few days.
The skin now gradually begins to renew itself and you may notice that it feels smoother, clearer and more vibrant. It is a treatment that is suitable for those who want noticeable results, but without surgery or a long recovery time.
CO2 laser or HIFU – what's the difference?
We often get questions about the difference between CO2 laser and other treatments such as HIFU treatment. Both are very effective methods of skin rejuvenation and are available here with us. However, they work in different ways and are therefore suitable for different situations and skin problems. While CO2 laser treats the surface layers of the skin and improves structure and texture, HIFU treatment works with the help of focused ultrasound in the deeper layers of the skin to tighten and lift.
Do both sound like good options to you? The great thing is that these treatments don't have to be mutually exclusive, but can actually complement each other very well. With us you will get help to find the right combination based on your needs and your skin type. Contact us at Estetikcentrum in Malmö and we will help you to have skin that you can be proud of!
