CO2 FRACTIONAL LASER - SPLENDID 4D

Facial resurfacing is a laser procedure that restores normal structure of the skin. The procedure is intended for those who notice such signs of skin aging as flabbiness and loss of elasticity, wrinkles, irregular skin structure. Skin resurfacing may also be used in case of young people without the signs of aging, but suffering from such disorders in the structure of the skin as acne scars or loss of uniform colour and brightness of the skin and enlarged pores. Thanks its effect on the skin, the laser stimulates regenerative processes, which results in increased collagen synthesis. The more collagen fibres, the smoother and stronger the skin becomes. The processes of skin resurfacing are accompanied by recovery of impeccable, youthful appearance of the skin, and the obtained effect is very natural. This means that the procedure does not change facial features or affect facial expressions in any way. It should be performed in a series of about 4 procedures, repeated every month. The first effects of the procedures are noticeable immediately, and the final effect, which is a result of advanced skin structure reconstruction, can be evaluated after several weeks after completing the series of procedures.
The procedure takes several minutes. Immediately after the procedure, the skin may be red and swollen, the healing process lasts from two to 14 days, depending on the power used. During this time, skin exfoliates and heals. Skin care after the procedure consists in avoiding exposure to the sun and the use of lubricating products.

Scars are skin lesions that can affect any person. They are caused by numerous factors: from acne lesions and other skin inflammations, through trauma and surgery, to burns. What all scars have in common – regardless of the factors that have led to their formation – is a disorder of the skin structure generated by an abnormal process of healing. Disruption of skin structure is often accompanied by an abnormal scar colour. Scar removal comes down to reconstruction of abnormal skin tissue. Splendid 4D fraxel laser allows for extremely effective stimulation of skin resurfacing processes. Skin reconstruction is possible due to stimulation of regenerative processes and activity of fibroblasts, which leads to into synthesis of new collagen fibres. And this guarantees reduction in the visibility of every scar. Fraxel laser generates micro-damage to the skin, which is surrounded by intact tissue. A laser beam creates a thermal effect, generating micro-damage surrounded by healthy, intact skin. The non-ablative laser damages both superficial and deeper layers of the skin, leading to an increase in collagen synthesis, stimulation of regenerative processes, and peeling off the top skin layers. To achieve optimal aesthetic effect, a series of procedures must be at monthly intervals according to results. The procedure reduces visibility of acne scars, surgical scars, scars after caesarean section or burns.

The fight against stretch marks is best started at the earliest possible stage. Fresh stretch marks have a characteristic appearance – they are red and thickened, protruding above the surface of the skin. At this stage, there is topical inflammation in the dermis and stretch marks procedures bring spectacular results. At a later stage, stretch marks fade, become slightly thinner and resemble atrophic scars. Then, despite apparent improvement in the skin appearance, stretch marks are much more difficult to remove. And then only more invasive stretch mark removal methods – with fraxel laser – will be effective.
The use of the Splendid 4D fraxel laser to remove stretch marks usually requires several procedures. This is necessary to stimulate advanced remodelling of the skin, its rejuvenation and smoothing of the skin surface and restoration of uniform colour. A laser head, which emits microbeams of light, is held towards the skin areas affected by stretch marks. Beams cause microscopic damage, which stimulates collagen fibre synthesis and skin structure renewal. Thanks to several-minute procedure, we get the effect of multi-week stimulation of fibroblasts, i.e. collagen synthesizing cells and a comprehensive use of the biological potential of the skin. Full treatment consists of about 3-6 laser procedures for stretch marks performed every 4 weeks. The effect is not only smoothing of the skin surface and reducing visibility of stretch marks, but also strengthening skin structure and its firming.

Skin photo-rejuvenation is a procedure that reduces numerous signs of skin aging by using a laser. We are talking about all those skin lesions which accumulate with age and are a result of physiological decline in collagen synthesis and loss of protective lipid layer as well as the impact of solar radiation and other harmful environmental factors. The procedure strengthens the structure of the skin, reduces its flabbiness and thinning. By activating synthesis of collagen fibres, it eliminates relaxation of the skin structure resulting from a physiological decrease in the amount of collagen fibres in the skin. Another desirable effect of a laser procedure is reduction of skin hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, enlarged pores. The procedure can be performed on the face, but also on the skin of the neck and cleavage, hands or any other part of the body. After the procedure the skin may turn red and slightly swollen, the healing process usually takes several days. For the following four weeks after you should remember to avoid exposure to the sun, because it may result in hyperpigmentation. We recommend performing a series of several procedures at intervals of 4-6 weeks.
