The fractional CO2 laser takes the CO2 laser beam and fractionates, or pixellates that beam into thousands of tiny little shafts of light. These tiny shafts of light penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.
The skin then repairs those tiny shafts by pushing out the old sun damaged skin and replacing it with new skin. The “collateral” heat damage also helps to shrink existing collagen.
The fractional CO2 laser device can be tuned to target the superficial layers of the skin with lower energy settings resulting in the improvement of pigmentation, fine lines, mild scarring and skin texture. Laser energy levels can be adjusted to target deep collagen re-modelling to impact deeper wrinkles and acne scars and to achieve skin tightening.
When a vaginal rejuvenation CO2 laser treatment is performed, this energy is converted into heat and coagulation of the tissue in the vagina occurs. A wound healing process is initiated to repair the damaged tissue and as a result the formation of new tissue and collagen and elastin fiber occurs. The results of this process is increased muscle tone in the vagina and a tightening of the supporting structures of the vulvo vaginal complex.
