C02 Laser, what is it for?
CO2 laser is the star of laser treatments. We significantly improve skin texture, pores, imperfections, fine wrinkles, color and even scars and acne marks.
At AGB we have the most advanced technology in CO2 laser, the SMARTXIDE TOUCH CO2 LASERwith specific action on skin rejuvenation, which allows us to minimize recovery time with the best results. We also offer the possibility of combining Radiofrequency in the same treatment, which allows better results when there is associated flaccidity and reduces recovery time.
This laser technology uses a special method of scanning the skin, which allows the CO2 laser to be applied fractionally in micro-areas, key to rapid recovery. rapid recovery.
How many C02 Laser sessions will I need?
The degree of aging of the skin will mark the guideline to be followedThe degree of aging of the skin will set the pattern, both the way of applying the energy as well as the treatment sessions. Therefore, in moderate energy sessions we will have quick recoveries, two or three days, but in those areas that require a more noticeable improvement, we will regulate to higher energies, and recovery occurs before a week.
The CO2 laser treatment allows us to treat very specific areas such as the periocular contour or periorbital contour, undoubtedly the two most demanded areas, or to make a more complete treatment of the entire facial area, being able to extend it to neck and décolleté.
PERIOCULAR CONTOUR
The periocular area, especially the skin of the eyelids and eyelid skinis one of the areas that first shows signs of aging. It is a thin skin, prone to dehydration and sometimes sensitive to intense home treatments.

ACNE MARKS
One of the consequences of acne is the marks or scars it leaves behind, which alters the texture of the skin. Acne scars can have different characteristics, but generally they are small atrophic scars, that is to say, with a sunken appearance in each one of them. The CO2 laser has a main indication in the treatment of acne scars, since what we are looking for is a remodeling of that small scar so that it becomes another more invisible scar. Depending on the size of the scar and, above all, its depth, several sessions will be necessary to obtain an optimal result. The improvement obtained with this technology does not require maintenance, since the improvement of the scar lasts over time. The treatment of acne scars can be combined with the injection of hyaluronic acid or growth factors, with standard technique or with Enerjet®, which also has an internal remodeling effect on the scar.

CICATRIES
The CO2 laser is also a great ally when it comes to improving scars. Actually a scar is not really erased or eliminated, but by improving it we turn it into a less visible or practically invisible scar. There are many types, shapes and sizes of scars, so a prior assessment is essential to assess their treatment with CO2 laser, the number of sessions and the need to combine with any other treatment to help us improve.
