Firexel CO2 Fractional & Surgical, manufactured by Bison Medical, Korea, features an Al Skin Analyzer that makes it incredibly easy to use, automatically determining parameters based on skin conditions. It comes with three different spot-size tips that provide varying penetration depths for skin resurfacing and collagenization.
Fractional CO2 laser is ablative (highly absorbed by water) so the parameters used depend on the moisture of the patient's skin.
INDICATIONS
CO2 Fractional Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses fractionated carbon dioxide laser energy to treat various skin concerns such as acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, and skin laxity. It works by creating tiny controlled injuries to the skin, which triggers natural healing and collagen production.
The laser creates micro-columns of thermal damage in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact. This fractional technique accelerates skin regeneration and improves: - Skin texture and tone - Fine lines and wrinkles - Acne scars and surgical scars - Enlarged pores - Sun damage and pigmentation
- Improves skin texture and firmness - Reduces deep wrinkles and fine lines - Minimizes scars, including acne and surgical scars - Lightens pigmentation and sun spots - Stimulates collagen and elastin production for long-term rejuvenation
Common treatment areas include: - Full face - Neck and décolletage - Hands - Scars on body or face - Stretch marks
There may be moderate discomfort, often described as a hot or prickling sensation. A topical anesthetic cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. In some cases, a cooling device or local anesthetic may be used.
Treatment duration depends on the area: - Full face: 30–45 minutes - Smaller areas: 10–30 minutes Allow extra time for numbing cream application (about 30–45 minutes).
Most patients see visible improvement after just 1 session, but 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results, especially for deeper scars or wrinkles.
- Initial improvement may be seen after 5–7 days as the skin begins to heal - Final results develop over 1–3 months, as collagen continues to rebuild
