What is Co2 Fractional Laser – Deka?
Fractional ablative laser skin treatment is probably the most high-tech and effective way to rejuvenate the appearance of your skin. Fractional treatment involves passing a series of individual laser beams into the skin causing a grid pattern of microscopic cellular disruption that promotes improvement in the quality of the skin. The untreated skin between each column of laser energy application contains stem cells that move in to repair the damage and stimulate renewal.
Co2 Fractional Laser
CO2 Fractional Laser is amongst the latest advances in skin rejuvenation treatment. At Euphoria Medical Center we use CO2 Fractional Laser to treat a wide range of skin problems by removing the rough outer layers of your skin, whilst at the same time stimulating the deeper layers to regenerate. In addition to smoothing lines, wrinkles and rough patches, the treatment can tighten sagging skin, improve the appearance of scars and tackle uneven pigmentation.
The Co2 Fractional Laser – Deka Treatment
Before treatment commences, a numbing cream may be applied if required. You will need to wear metal eye-shield protection goggles so your eyes will be closed, and you won’t be able to see. During the treatment our specialist will pass a hand piece sequentially across the treatment area and you’ll hear a buzzing noise as the laser scan is delivered and a suction noise as the smoke evacuator nozzle is held next to the treatment area. Just one pass of the laser is required on each treatment area. Small white dots are immediately visible on the skin but disappear after treatment is complete. There represent the micro-columns of laser ablation in the skin.

Depending on the treatment area
-
Does it hurt?While everyone experiences different levels of pain, you may feel some discomfort and needle stick pain.
-
Are there any side effects?There may be some swelling or bruising for a few days. The results commonly improve over time, as the swelling subsides, and the filler settles more naturally – this process often takes up to 2 weeks.
-
Am I suitable for Fillers treatment?This treatment is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or has severe allergic reactions
-
Fillers Aftercare?The following may assist with recovery and results: Following the instructions provided by our specialists before and after your treatment Stay upright following your treatment for 3-4 hours Avoid sleeping for 3-4 hours after the treatment (to avoid pressing the treated area) Take arnica supplements and apply arnica cream Avoid strenuous exercise following the treatment Limit your sun exposure Apply a cold compress to the treated area Avoid facial treatments or other treatments on the area Should you experience any symptoms, notify us so we can best assist you. To maintain the effect of your treatment, you will require further follow ups.
-
When will I see results?Most patients will notice immediate results following their filler treatment. However, note that it can take 7-10 days to notice the final results, which is when any potential bruising, swelling or redness subsides.
-
How long do the results last?This will depend on your own metabolism. Some people will break down the fillers more quickly than others. A general rule of thumb is that fillers typically last longer in the areas that move the least – such as cheeks, in comparison to lips, which may last a little less time. To maintain the effectiveness of your Fillers treatment, you will require further follow-ups, but you can expect your cheek fillers to last for 6 months and more.
-
What are the benefits of Fillers?Quick – most treatments take approximately 30 minutes to perform. Faster and more effective than creams – the treatment results are much faster than those achieved when using skincare. Long-lasting results – whilst long-lasting, most fillers are not permanent and are reversible. Natural Results – in the hands of the right, medically trained, artistic hands, such is the team selected to work at Euphoria Medical Center©, the results can be very natural and complement your own natural beauty.
