eCO₂ Laser

The eCO2 Laser by Lutronic is a state-of-the-art fractional CO2 laser system designed to address a wide range of skin concerns and promote skin rejuvenation. This advanced technology utilises a powerful and precise laser beam to create micro-ablated channels in the skin, which stimulates the natural healing process and the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. As a result, the treated skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking.

The eCO2 Laser system offers customisable treatment options, enabling practitioners to tailor the procedure to each patient's unique needs and desired outcomes. The laser's depth, density, and energy levels can be adjusted to target specific skin concerns effectively and minimise downtime. This versatility makes the eCO2 Laser an excellent solution for treating various skin issues, such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin texture.

One of the key advantages of the eCO2 Laser is its ability to provide significant improvements in skin quality and appearance with minimal discomfort and downtime compared to traditional ablative laser treatments. The fractional approach leaves the surrounding skin intact, which accelerates the healing process and reduces the risk of complications. By choosing the eCO2 Laser, patients can achieve exceptional skin rejuvenation results in a safe and efficient manner.

The number of eCO2 Laser sessions needed to achieve optimal results varies based on individual factors, such as the patient's skin type, the severity of the skin concerns being treated, and the desired outcome. Generally, most patients see significant improvements after just one session, although some may require additional treatments to achieve their desired results. Sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow for adequate healing between treatments.

The effects of the eCO2 Laser treatment are long-lasting, as the procedure stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which help maintain the skin's firmness and elasticity. However, it's important to note that the eCO2 Laser cannot stop the natural ageing process or prevent future damage from factors such as sun exposure. To maintain your results, it's essential to practise proper sun protection, follow a consistent skincare regimen, and consider periodic maintenance treatments as recommended by your practitioner.

Lutronic Genius is a versatile treatment that can effectively target various areas of the face and body, addressing a wide range of skin concerns. Some of the most common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. The procedure can help improve skin texture, tighten sagging skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and minimise acne scars and other skin imperfections.

Ideal candidates for Lutronic Genius are individuals who are experiencing signs of ageing, skin laxity, or uneven skin texture and are seeking a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution to improve their skin's overall appearance. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it an inclusive option for a diverse range of patients.

During your initial consultation, our team will assess your specific skin concerns and determine if Lutronic Genius is the right treatment option for you. We will work closely with you to develop a personalised treatment plan designed to achieve your desired results.

During an eCO2 Laser treatment session, your practitioner will begin by thoroughly cleansing the treatment area and applying a numbing cream to minimise any discomfort. Once the skin is numb, the eCO2 Laser hand-piece will be used to deliver precise laser energy to the targeted areas, creating tiny micro-channels in the skin. You may feel a sensation of heat or mild discomfort during the treatment, but this is generally well-tolerated by most patients. Depending on the size and number of treatment areas, the session can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

To prepare for your eCO2 Laser treatment, follow these steps:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before your session, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
• Discontinue the use of retinoids, glycolic acid, and other exfoliating products for at least one week prior to treatment, as they can increase skin sensitivity.
• Inform your practitioner of any medications or supplements you are taking, as they may provide guidance on whether to discontinue use before treatment.
• Arrive at your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face.

After an eCO2 Laser treatment, you can expect a recovery period of about 5 to 7 days, during which your skin will undergo a natural healing process. Common side effects include redness, swelling, and peeling, which typically subside within a week. It's important to follow your practitioner's post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. These may include:

• Applying a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser and a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily to protect the treated skin from sun damage.
• Avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors for at least two weeks following treatment.
• Refraining from using makeup, retinoids, or exfoliating products until your skin has fully healed, as directed by your practitioner.
• Avoiding excessive heat, such as saunas and hot showers, for at least 48 hours after treatment.
• Staying well-hydrated and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to support your skin's healing process.

The eCO2 Laser treatment is generally considered safe and well-tolerated; however, as with any procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. Some common side effects include redness, swelling, and peeling, which usually resolve within a week/few weeks. More severe complications, such as burns, infections, or changes in skin pigmentation, are rare but can occur.

To minimise the likelihood of these risks, it's essential to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner who is well-versed in eCO2 Laser treatments. Additionally, following your practitioner's pre- and post-treatment care instructions can help ensure a smooth recovery and reduce the risk of complications.

The eCO2 Laser by Lutronic stands out from other skin resurfacing treatments due to its advanced fractional technology, which allows for customizable and precise treatment with minimal downtime. While other resurfacing methods, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, can effectively address mild to moderate skin concerns, the eCO2 Laser offers more significant improvements in skin quality and appearance.

Additionally, the eCO2 Laser can achieve results comparable to traditional ablative CO2 lasers, but with less discomfort and faster recovery time. This makes the eCO2 Laser an excellent option for patients seeking a powerful, yet minimally invasive, skin rejuvenation treatment.
