Laser facial resurfacing (or fractional photothermolysis) is a hardware cosmetology procedure offered by specialists at Alla Khazova’s clinic. This is an effective method of rejuvenating and renewing the skin, allowing you to solve a whole range of aesthetic and age-related problems.
The facial cleansing procedure is performed with a modern fractional CO2 laser, which specifically targets problem areas, penetrating the superficial and deep layers of the dermis (up to 4 mm or more).
Fractional laser resurfacing of facial skin is safe and effective in correcting age spots, deep, medium and superficial wrinkles, stretch marks, post-acne, neoplasms and many other cosmetic problems.
CO2 laser rejuvenation “AcuPulse” - the result is obvious!
Today, aesthetic medicine experts call the fractional CO2 laser on the AcuPulse platform the most effective anti-aging set of measures that science has in its arsenal today.
The CO2 laser is all-round effective. It triggers natural processes in the body, initiating the production of elastin and collagen, which are responsible for tissue rejuvenation. This leads to complete renewal of the skin and obtaining a pronounced and lasting result.
Patients who have undergone the CO2 laser rejuvenation procedure can expect to smooth out wrinkles, eliminate the effect of enlarged pores, return the face to an even and fresh color, and increase the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Patients praise the laser for its powerful lifting effect and tightening of facial contours.
The popular technology is a procedure during which the inner layers of the patient’s skin are exposed to a carbon dioxide fractional laser. The principle of laser operation is as follows: a beam is formed, broken into small microbeams that penetrate into the deep layers of the skin. This ensures high safety of the procedure and rapid tissue healing.
CO2 laser rejuvenation is characterized by the following advantages:
- obtaining a pronounced result;
- recovery in 10-14 days;
- high degree of safety (compliance with FDA certificates);
- operative implementation of the procedure.

Who is the procedure indicated for?
Among the patients interested in CO2 laser rejuvenation using the AcuPulse device, there are mainly women over 37 years old, who have begun to noticeably show signs of aging. The technology is especially popular among both women and men who have problems in the area around the eyes. This method helps to almost completely remove microwrinkles and the notorious “crow’s feet” on these delicate areas of the skin.
AcuPulse is also in demand among women after pregnancy who want to get rid of unsightly stretch marks, as well as among people with unaesthetic scars, consequences of burns, injuries and surgical interventions.
The procedure gives the most striking results in the presence of the following problems:
- a large number of wrinkles (both deep mimic and fine mesh wrinkles);
- acne, enlarged pores;
- impaired skin pigmentation (caused by age-related reasons, and appeared as a result of prolonged exposure to the sun), actinic keratosis;
- stretch marks, scars, scars, spider veins on any part of the body;
- too deep nasolabial folds that bother the patient;
- sagging skin, loss of tone, sagging tissue.
CO2 laser rejuvenation is an effective way to combat age-related skin changes. The technology can be used by persons aged 17 years or older. At the same time, doctors talk about the greatest effectiveness of laser rejuvenation for people who have passed the 40-year mark.
Basic steps of the procedure
1. Immediately before the procedure, the cosmetologist cleanses the skin and applies anesthesia.
2. The main stage of the procedure is the exposure of the patient’s problem areas to the CO2 laser. The average duration of the procedure is 30-40 minutes.
3. Upon completion of the procedure, a soothing ointment is applied to the skin.
Additional benefits of the procedure
CO2 laser rejuvenation has a prolonged anti-aging effect, which is due to the activation of collagen and elastin production. It is important to understand that the peculiarity of this procedure is that the first serious results of the activated skin renewal mechanism appear 2-3 weeks after exposure to the tissue. And over the next 6 months, skin renewal occurs with a cumulative effect!

Compatible with other procedures
CO2 laser skin rejuvenation using the AcuPulse device is considered quite universal and easily compatible with other cosmetic procedures. It can be performed in parallel with biorevitalization, mesotherapy, bioreparation and plasma lifting. During the first week after the procedure, it is better to hold off on any methods of influencing the treated tissues, waiting for their complete regeneration. At this time, such activities as visiting the sauna, spa salons, solariums, and exposure to the open sun are especially prohibited.
If you have an appointment for other anti-aging courses, you should additionally check with your doctor how effective they will be in combination with a fractional laser.
CO2 laser rejuvenation is especially recommended for patients who are planning upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). The purpose of surgical manipulation is to eliminate fatty hernias that form with age. The impact of the AcuPulse CO2 laser promotes better skin contraction after surgery, evens out wrinkles around the eyes, reduces the rehabilitation period after surgery and allows you to maintain the resulting rejuvenation effect longer.
Rehabilitation
For the “AcuPulse” laser rejuvenation procedure (ablative CO2 laser resurfacing), cosmetologists determine redness of the treated area, burning, severe swelling, high peeling of the skin - these manifestations disappear relatively quickly, but during healing, itching, tingling and a slight pain effect may appear. Such processes are considered normal and signal tissue regeneration.
The rehabilitation period assumes that the patient should not stay in the sun, apply special products prescribed by a cosmetologist to the treated areas of skin for 8-10 days after the procedure, and take medications if they were prescribed. You should not go to the bathhouse, take hot baths or expose your skin to high temperatures.
It is worth keeping in mind that the duration of rehabilitation and the nature of the measures that need to be taken during this period are discussed individually with each patient and depend on the characteristics of his skin and state of health.
After CO2 laser rejuvenation, it is very important for the patient to follow the prescribed schedule of visits to assess the rehabilitation period by a cosmetologist.
Contraindications
Resorting to CO2 laser rejuvenation on the AcuPulse platform is not recommended for several categories of patients. Mostly, we are talking about people with specific diseases or a predisposition to side effects after any exposure to the skin.
It is not advisable to sign up for CO2 laser rejuvenation on the AcuPulse platform if you have:
- acute infectious diseases or intensified chronic ones;
- diabetes mellitus (especially in the decompensation phase);
- epilepsy;
- oncological formations;
- psoriasis, all kinds of skin allergies;
- diseases whose treatment is accompanied by taking medications with a photosensitizing effect;
- persistent tendency of tissues to scar.
It is also worth postponing the procedure for some time for pregnant women and nursing mothers.
Operating principle of each type
- The CO2 laser works by vibrating carbon dioxide molecules. The laser tube contains:
- carbon dioxide (CO2) – 10-20%;
- nitrogen (N2) – 10-20%;
- hydrogen (H2) – up to 10%;
- xenon (Xe) – up to 10%;
- helium (He) – 40-60%.
The laser emits high power from 9.4 to 10.6 micrometers. First, nitrogen is brought into an active state, then energy is transferred between the molecules of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, as a result of which inversion occurs and a laser appears. The laser beams first heat the water contained in the skin tissue, then the anhydrous components are heated. As a result of exposure, an explosive splash of liquid occurs, which leads to the destruction of cells.
- An erbium laser works by generating radiation from erbium oxide. A thin beam of light energy is directed onto the skin, heating the tissue water, after which vaporization occurs and old cells are destroyed. The laser allows you to set the length and power of the beams. Penetrates to a depth of 4 to 14 micrometers.
- A diode laser works by directing an electrical current. A beam of light energy is directed onto the skin to a depth of 810 micrometers, then it works similarly to an erbium laser.
