CO2 Laser
For patients looking for meaningful, lasting improvement in skin texture, tone and resurfacing, Mixto CO2 laser treatment at Bella Sante MD in Saskatoon delivers results that go well beyond the surface. With new collagen growth continuing for up to a year after a single session, it is one of the most effective non-surgical resurfacing options available.
What Is C02 Laser?
Mixto CO2 is a fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment that has been used in the aesthetic industry for over 25 years. The CO2 laser beam contacts the skin and precisely heats and vaporises superficial tissue, instantly removing damaged skin layers, scars and wrinkles while smoothing the skin's surface. This triggers a remodeling process in which new skin and collagen continue to grow for up to one year after treatment.
The Mixto system uses fractional skin resurfacing technology, which allows the treating physician to target between 20 and 100 percent of the skin surface. This means treatment intensity can be precisely calibrated to your skin concerns, with significantly faster healing than traditional CO2 resurfacing. Single treatments can show a significant improvement in skin texture and tone.
How C02 Laser Works
The Mixto CO2 laser precisely vaporises damaged skin tissue, triggering the body's natural healing response and stimulating new collagen growth. The fractional delivery system allows treatment depth and coverage to be fully customised to your skin, with results continuing to develop for up to one year post treatment.
