Laser facial resurfacing is a gentle way to rejuvenate, remove wrinkles and narrow pores. The procedure tightens, smoothes and significantly seals the skin.
During laser resurfacing, the vaporization process takes place. This means that the top layer of the epidermis is removed as delicately as possible. The energy of the laser penetrates into the cells, being converted into heat. Heat vaporizes the moisture in the cells, destroying them.
As a result, the upper layer of the epidermis is removed, and the active synthesis of collagen and elastin is started. In place of the old, keratinized layer of skin, new cells grow.

Laser resurfacing itself is a safe and effective procedure. However, there are cases in which there are possible risks of complications. The main problems are unprofessionalism and cheap forgery of the original CO2 Laser with incorrect parameters and an incorrect wavelength of 10.6 microns.
