New ALMA FemiLift Pixel Co2

### Principle

- **Fractional Photothermolysis**: ALMA FemiLift Pixel CO2 operates based on the principle of fractional photothermolysis. It emits high - energy CO2 laser beams that are divided into numerous tiny, discrete microbeams. These microbeams penetrate the skin in a patterned manner, creating microscopic treatment zones while leaving the surrounding tissue intact.

- **Thermal Effect and Tissue Remodeling**: When the CO2 laser microbeams interact with the tissue, they cause rapid heating and vaporization of the targeted cells. This thermal effect leads to the formation of micro - craters in the skin. The body then initiates a natural healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. The surrounding healthy tissue helps to support and accelerate the healing process, resulting in skin remodeling and regeneration.

### Working - **Laser Generation and Delivery**: The device generates CO2 laser energy using a specific gas mixture and an excitation source. The laser energy is then directed through an optical delivery system to the treatment handpiece. The handpiece is designed to precisely control the output of the laser microbeams and their distribution on the treatment area.

- **Treatment Parameters Adjustment**: The operator can adjust various parameters such as the energy density, pulse duration, spot size, and the density of the microbeams according to the patient's skin condition and treatment goals. This customization allows for tailored treatment to address different degrees of skin laxity, wrinkles, or other concerns.

- **Built - in Cooling System**: To enhance patient comfort and protect the skin surface, the ALMA FemiLift Pixel CO2 is equipped with a built - in cooling system. The cooling system delivers a stream of cool air or a cooling agent to the skin surface before and during the laser treatment, reducing the heat sensation and minimizing the risk of thermal damage to the epidermis.

### Functions -

**Skin Resurfacing**: It is primarily used for skin resurfacing, which can effectively improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin texture. By removing the outermost layer of damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen production, it reveals smoother, more youthful - looking skin.

- **Acne Scar and Scar Revision**: The fractional CO2 laser can penetrate deep into the skin to break down scar tissue and promote the growth of new, healthy tissue. This helps to reduce the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scars, improving skin and texture.

- **Vaginal Rejuvenation**: In the case of FemiLift, it is also used for vaginal rejuvenation. The laser energy can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the vaginal walls, improving vaginal tone, elasticity, and lubrication. This can help to address issues such as vaginal dryness, laxity, and urinary incontinence, enhancing women's quality of life.

### Treatment Course

- **Number of Sessions**: Generally, for skin resurfacing and scar treatment, 3 - 5 treatment sessions are usually recommended. However, for more severe cases or deeper scars, the number of sessions may be increased to 6 - 8. For vaginal rejuvenation, a typical treatment course may consist of 3 - 4 sessions.

- **Interval between Sessions**: The interval between treatment sessions is typically 4 - 6 weeks. This allows sufficient time for the skin or vaginal tissue to heal and for the collagen remodeling process to take place. During this period, the patient may experience some mild redness and peeling, which is a normal part of the healing process.

- **Recovery and Maintenance**: After each treatment, there is a recovery period of 1 - 2 weeks during which the skin may be sensitive and require special care. Patients are usually advised to avoid sun exposure, use gentle skincare products, and follow the doctor's instructions for post - treatment care. To maintain the results, some patients may need occasional touch - up treatments every 6 - 12 months, depending on their skin condition and lifestyle factors.
