CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing (SPRIMONT)

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing operates on the concept of fractional photothermolysis: the laser beam is divided into thousands of narrow micro-beams, each creating a column of ablated tissue called a micro-treatment zone (MTZ). Only a fraction of the skin surface is treated per pass — the columns of ablation — while the surrounding intact tissue serves as a reservoir of healthy cells that migrate rapidly into each MTZ, dramatically shortening healing…

DermaMedEst uses the SPRIMONT CO2 fractional laser system. CO2 at 10,600 nm has the highest water absorption of any common medical laser wavelength; its energy is deposited very precisely in the targeted skin layers with controlled thermal spread. Adjusting the density of columns per area, the depth of ablation and the energy per pulse allows the operator to calibrate the treatment from a gentle resurfacing pass — suitable for maintenance or sensitive…

Before the session topical anaesthetic cream is applied for 30 minutes; patients are advised to arrive with clean, product-free skin. During treatment patients experience warmth and a mild stinging sensation. Immediately after the procedure the skin is red and may feel hot; a soothing cream is applied. The surface of the ablated micro-columns forms a fine crust and begins to shed over four to seven days as new epithelium migrates from the surrounding…
