MiXto Fractionated CO2 Laser

MiXto Fractionated CO2 Laser

The MiXto Fractionated CO2 is a laser retexturing treatment that can smooth out the surface of the skin and rejuvenate the overall appearance–with minimal downtime. The treatment removes the outer layer of skin and prompts collagen production at deeper layers. New skin and collagen growth will improve the surface of the skin, revitalizing the overall appearance over time. Dr. Gary Goldenberg and Dr. Kristina Goldenberg, New York board-certified dermatologists and laser resurfacing specialists, recommend their custom Fractional CO2 laser NYC treatments for patients who would like to improve the tone and texture of their skin.

The MiXto Fractionated CO2 laser can soften fine lines and wrinkles, as well as regenerates damaged skin. The fractional laser technology allows your doctor to control the amount of heat being delivered to the skin, and the depth of penetration. A Fractional CO2 laser NYC procedure can address a variety of skin imperfections, such as:

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Acne scars
• Age spots and precancerous lesions
• Enlarged pores

Although the Fractionated CO2 laser NYC treatment is most frequently used on the face, it can also be used on other parts of the body. Dr. Gary Goldenberg and Dr. Kristina Goldenberg routinely treat the neck, chest, and hands.

MiXto Fractionated CO2 Laser Treatment
During treatment, your doctor will pulse laser light onto the treatment area, selectively controlling the depth of penetration. For most patients, the minimally-invasive Fractionated CO2 laser treatment does not involve significant pain. However, before a Fractional CO2 laser treatment at our New York office, a topical anesthetic is commonly applied to help alleviate any discomfort.

On average, treatment takes about 30 minutes. For most patients, one treatment is sufficient. For those with more severe acne scars or deep wrinkles, additional treatments may be recommended. Although many patients are ready to go back to work within a day, downtime will vary. On average, a patient may experience 4-5 days of recovery. After treatment, a patient will notice redness and some tenderness, much like a mild sunburn. Peeling typically occurs after a few days, causing flaking skin and some itchiness. This will resolve itself within a few days, as the skin heals.

MiXto Fractionated CO2 Laser Results
Most patients see immediate improvement after a single treatment. Because the procedure prompts new collagen production, continued improvement can be seen for up to 6 months. The new collagen will add structure to the skin, giving it additional strength and resilience.

Fractional CO2 laser treatments in NYC are considered safe and effective for most individuals. However, the treatment may not be appropriate for everybody. Dr. Gary Goldenberg and Dr. Kristina Goldenberg can determine if you are a good candidate for laser resurfacing.
