While we all bear proof of the years we have lived, scarring is one addition we can well do without. Over the years, our skin becomes a canvas of wrinkles, age spots, pigmentation, and scars that are not easily removed. However, with a number of laser treatments now available, effective skin resurfacing is a real possibility where the skin can be treated to appear rejuvenated and youthful, free of scars and spots.
THE LUMENIS ULTRAPULSE CO2 LASER – REVOLUTIONISING AESTHETIC MEDICINE
THE LUMENIS ULTRAPULSE CO2 LASER FOR SKIN RESURFACING IN MELBOURNE
The Lumenis UltraPulse is a CO2 laser that uses concentrated pulses of light to resurface the skin. By targeting old skin cells, the laser helps stimulate the restoration and regeneration of new skin.
The monumental laser equipment can be used in four varying modes – the ActiveFX, the DeepFX, the TotalFX, and the SCAAR FX.
The ActiveFX Mode:
This mode involves a fractional CO2 laser penetrating the surface of the skin in a pixelated pattern. This ensures gradual peeling of the old cells while simultaneously stimulating the production of collagen deep within the skin. This mode of treatment is ideal for treating uneven skin, discolouration, sun spots, and age spots.
The DeepFX Mode:
Also a fractional CO2 laser, the DeepFX mode is used to stimulate the production of collagen while addressing the dermis. Short light pulses targeted at the site to be treated ensure the removal of skin layers that are damaged. These pulses leave columns of skin untouched, helping with quicker recovery.
The TotalFX Mode:
This is a treatment combining both the ActiveFX and the DeepFX to treat fractions of the skin. Since the treatment targets both the surface of the skin and the dermis, the overall outcome of the procedure shows significant improvement in both the texture and tone of the skin.
The SCAAR FX Mode:
This type of treatment involves an ablative and coagulative procedure that ensures skin resurfacing for patients with scars and skin conditions that are difficult to treat. The procedure makes use of pulses that break up scar tissue and help in regenerating and restoring the skin.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A LUMENIS ULTRAPULSE CO2 TREATMENT IN MELBOURNE?
While your recovery is largely dependent on the type of UltraPulse laser treatment you have undergone, there are certain side-effects to the treatment that subside over time. You can expect some redness of the skin that looks similar to a sunburn. There may also be some swelling and peeling of the skin as a result of the laser pulses removing the upper surface of skin. For a few days after the procedure, you can expect the skin to feel a little sensitive.
After a few days, you can begin using makeup, if needed, to cover up the redness. Once the side effects wear off and the skin has had a chance to heal, you can see the expected results that make a significant improvement from what it was before the treatment. Overall, the skin may take a couple of weeks to heal.
