The eCO2 Effect
Patients with scars, lesion & wrinkles will notice a significant improvement of appearance. Skin rejuvenation patients will notice toned skin with smaller pores & better laxity.
eCO2 plus works by fractional ablative 10,600 nm CO2 laser which is absorbed by all the tissues containing water resulting in its evaporation. This evaporation results in the ablation of micro-columns of skin layers & fibrotic tissue.
A later formation of new tissues results from the thermal effect that shrinks collagen which triggers necollagenesis to compensate the ablated tissues.
When compared to other fractional wavelengths, CO2 has lower water affinity which results in more penetration making it the most effective wavelength in scars, skin tags & wrinkles.
Supported by its guidelines, eCO2 plus provides variable controls that enable to adjust parameters to match different needs by:
- Matching lesion shape through beam size & shape control.
- Increasing depth of ablation by increasing power, energy or by using smaller beam diameter.
- Limiting the diameter of thermal damage by using small beam diameter.
- Controlling heat dissipation to surrounding tissues by changing pulse duration.
