How does MiXto SX Micro Fractional CO2 technology differ from the original Fraxel® laser?
The MiXto SX Micro Fractional CO2 laser is a single treatment that delivers more dramatic results than typical non-ablative lasers or procedures which require a series.
How does Micro Fractional CO2 laser compare to traditional CO2 Laser?
The Micro Fractional CO2 laser has significantly less down time then the traditional CO2 laser. The traditional CO2 laser resurfaces (or removes the top layer ) 100% of the skin to being treated which results in a longer healing time and can cause long-term redness (up to 3 months). The fractional laser means that only a fraction of the skin is treated. Since bridges of healthy skin are left in between the treated areas, the downtime is significantly less. Fractional does not mean fractional results. The science behind this technology allows for significant improvements comparable to traditional CO2 laser.
What kind of anesthesia is used?
Usually the procedure is done under topical anesthesia ointment. It is routinely done with other procedures under sedation.
Can the Micro Fractional CO2 laser be done with other procedures?
Yes, Micro Fractional CO2 laser may be combined with a facial procedures such as facelift, eyelift, rhinoplasty, or browlift. It can is a remarkable achievement to be able to do this procedure with a facelift. Although the erbium and traditional CO2 lasers may be combined with a facelift, the only the areas around the mouth and eyes may be done at the same time. With fractional CO2 laser, the whole face may be treated at the same time.
Can other parts of the body be treated?
Yes.The Micro Fractional CO2 laser may also be used to resurface the chest or hands. In fact to help match the face with the hands, Micro Fractional CO2 laser can be used to improve the signs of aged hands.
What the recovery time like?
Discomfort is minimal, and there may be a burning sensation that lasts for 1 to 2 days. Most patients can return to normal activities in a week, and apply makeup.
Is there a difference between Microfractional CO2 lasers?
There is a difference between lasers. There is also a significant difference in the experience each doctor has who is using a laser with this technology as well as resurfacing technology in general.
It is important to go to a physician who has experience with the fractional CO2 laser technology and can advise you appropriately.
