Key advantages for Nurses and Physicians
- Creates an ablative and thermal effect over only 20% of the skin's surface
- Remaining tissue surrounding the micro-injury sites initiate the process of healing. As collagen remodels, skin tightens and scars improve
- Considerable reduction in downtime, compared to traditional CO2 resurfacing
Key advantages for patients
- Effects of traditional CO2 resurfacing with a considerable reduction in downtime
- Less invasive approach reduces the changes of complications
- Natural-looking results
