MiXto SX - frakčný CO2 laser

Fractional CO2 laser treatment MiXto SX E30

Fractional laser treatment MiXto SX is one of the most effective methods of treatment leading to a radical rejuvenation, wrinkle removal, and withered skin pigment spots in one treatment. It is an ideal alternative for those who want maximum effects in a relatively short period of healing. Treatment is the right choice to achieve the smoothing of acne scars, or expanded pores, as well as the scars (even old scars) from previous injuries and surgical interventions. It is one option for the positive and effective removal of stretch marks and slack skin.

Fractional MiXto SX laser is an effective tool for achieving revolutionary rejuvenating treatments with minimal discomfort to the patient. Even a single treatment provides visible improvement of skin qualities, removal of pigmented degenerative manifestations, smoothing wrinkles, scars and skin unevenness, skin stretching of eye lids, neck, chest or abdomen. Many clients perceive the appearance of the treated area as 10 years younger and the effect persists for at least 5 years.

What is the principle of fractional laser resurfacing MiXto SX?

Laser MiXto SX offers leading edge technologies allowing the implementation of fractional resurfacing - full-scale restoration of skin structure. A unique algorithm is governed by the transmission laser beam so that its absorption in the treated skin was as effective as possible, but with maximum parsimony with the surrounding tissue. By setting the special parameters (size of treated micro spot, density, index), we can optimize treatment for each individual type of the patient symptoms. The MiXto specifics differ from other types of fractional lasers. Laser MiXto SX operates with a computer controlled scanner that emits a therapeutic laser micro beam to the upper and middle layers of the skin with the following effects:

  • Immediate stretching of the slack skin - lifting effect,
  • Refinement of wrinkles,
  • Removal of pigmentations (sun, degenerative, aged),
  • Remodeling and formation of new collagen for up to 6 months after surgery.

Micro-fractional technology allows the skin treatments to be done with extreme precision and quality. During the surgery only a fraction of the skin surface is exposed to 10 660 nm laser radiation in the form of a grid with micro spots. Undamaged area, which surrounds the treated micro spot, supports and accelerates the natural healing of the treated zone. But the beneficial effects of laser radiation act on the entire skin surface. The treatment is virtually painless. For added comfort, particularly for sensitive patients, we can apply an anesthetic cream before treatment.

Treatment

Prior to the treatment we conduct a thorough examination of the patient’s specific case. Standard procedures are focused on the face, neck, chest and hands. In certain cases (scars, stretch marks, sagging skin, etc.) it is possible to treat any location of the body surface. In most cases the desired result is achieved in only 1 treatment. If needed, it is possible to have additional treatment after several weeks.

Intervention

MiXto SX fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is outpatient treatment. Before the treatment, make up is removed, the skin gets cleaned and if needed an application of local anesthetic cream is applied. During surgery, you will feel light burning induced by the absorption of laser radiation micro beams. Such fractional resurfacing of the entire face takes about 30 minutes.

After treatment

Immediately after treatment, there is a slight burning sensation (comparable to the feelings after intense sun tanning), which may persist for 30 minutes to 3 hours after surgery. On the skin you will see tiny dots - these are points irradiated by the laser beam. Tiny dots are typical manifestations of laser radiation. In some cases, some redness and mild swelling may persist for 2-3 days. A soothing healing cream can be applied on the treated areas.

Day 1-2

Tiny dots gradually disappear and the skin gets a tanned appearance.

Day 3-4

The upper layers of skin will start to gently peel and, at the same time, rejuvenated skin will begin to appear with significantly better texture and balanced coloring. You can start using makeup.

Day 5-6

In most cases, there is the complete peeling of the top layer of skin. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and always use sun protection of 50 for 2-3 months.

During the subsequent six months you will see the continued reduction of wrinkles and skin stretching caused by persistent production of new collagen.

MiXto SX uses also the classical CO2 mode with scanners (evaporation of skin growths, warts, etc.), as well as laser beam mode, which can be used as a light scalpel for cutting tissue.
