Skin pigmentation issues, such as dark spots, uneven skin tone, and melasma, are often more pronounced in individuals with higher levels of melanin. These concerns can be challenging to treat, as melanin-rich skin requires special care to avoid complications like hyperpigmentation or scarring. At Glojas Specialist, we offer the Fractional CO2 Laser treatment, an advanced laser therapy designed to rejuvenate the skin and address pigmentation concerns while being safe and effective for all skin types, including those with higher melanin content.
Melanin is the natural pigment responsible for the color of your skin, hair, and eyes. It plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from UV radiation, but excessive melanin production can lead to hyperpigmentation, where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding tissue. This condition can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne scars, and aging. Treating hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin requires a careful approach to avoid further aggravating the issue.
The Fractional CO2 Laser is a powerful and precise tool that works by creating micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process and encourages the production of new collagen. This process helps to resurface the skin, reducing the appearance of dark spots, scars, and uneven skin tone while improving overall texture and clarity.
For individuals with melanin-rich skin, the Fractional CO2 Laser offers a safe and effective solution for pigmentation issues. Unlike some other laser treatments that can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in darker skin tones, the Fractional CO2 Laser can be carefully adjusted to treat pigmentation without damaging the surrounding tissue or increasing melanin production.
The Fractional CO2 Laser targets and breaks down excess melanin in the skin, reducing the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation. It is particularly effective for treating melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, common concerns for those with higher melanin levels.
In addition to addressing pigmentation, the Fractional CO2 Laser stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin texture. This dual action makes it a comprehensive treatment for rejuvenating and revitalizing the skin.
At Glojas Specialist, we understand that each individual’s skin is unique. Our Fractional CO2 Laser treatments are customizable, allowing us to tailor the intensity and depth of the laser to suit your specific skin type and pigmentation concerns. This ensures that you receive a treatment that is both effective and safe for your melanin-rich skin.
One of the major concerns with treating melanin-rich skin is the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The Fractional CO2 Laser, when used by our skilled professionals, minimizes this risk by precisely targeting the treatment area and promoting even skin tone without overstimulating melanin production.
Consultation and Skin Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation and skin assessment at Glojas Specialist. Our experts will evaluate your skin type, discuss your pigmentation concerns, and determine the most appropriate settings for the Fractional CO2 Laser to achieve optimal results.
The Treatment Process
During the procedure, the Fractional CO2 Laser will be applied to the targeted areas of your skin. You may feel a mild heat sensation as the laser works to create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and a topical anesthetic can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort.
Recovery and Results
After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. As your skin heals, you will notice an improvement in tone, texture, and clarity. The full results of the treatment become apparent over the following weeks as new collagen is produced and pigmentation concerns are addressed.
The effects of a fractional CO2 resurfacing laser treatment can last for several years, depending on how well you protect your skin from the sun and other aging factors. Proper skin care, such as applying sunscreen, wearing brimmed hats, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, can help prolong the benefits. Factors like general health, smoking, and weight changes also influence the longevity of the results.
Many patients choose to have two lighter fractional CO2 laser treatments to minimize downtime. After each treatment, your skin will heal over a period of 3-14 days. Following this healing phase, there’s a period of about 4 to 6 weeks where your skin may remain slightly pink as it continues to recover and rejuvenate. This approach allows for gradual improvement without significant disruption to daily activities.
In Malaysia, at Glojas Clinic, the fractional CO2 laser treatment is conducted with careful preparation and comfort in mind. Patients are advised to arrive early, allowing for sufficient time before the procedure begins. The treatment starts with cleansing the face followed by the application of numbing cream, which takes about half an hour to take effect. During this time, patients can relax and prepare for the treatment. Once numbed, the cream is removed, and the laser procedure commences, lasting approximately 10-15 minutes.
Patients may experience sensations like “pins and needles,” managed with a stream of cold air to minimize discomfort, usually ranging from mild to moderate. Following the treatment, a cooling mask is applied for 10-15 minutes to soothe the skin. The session concludes with the application of moisturizer and sunscreen to protect the treated area. This structured approach ensures that patients receive effective treatment with minimal discomfort and comprehensive post-care at Glojas Clinic.
The number of fractional CO2 laser treatments needed at Glojas Clinic depends on the severity of your sun damage, scarring, or wrinkles, as well as your tolerance for downtime. Our doctors at Glojas Clinic will conduct a detailed consultation to assess your specific needs and recommend the appropriate number of treatments to achieve optimal results.
The cost of fractional CO2 laser treatment can vary based on several factors, including the treated area’s size and the severity of the skin condition. Typically, the price ranges from RM1,200 to RM2,800 per session for a full-face treatment. Fractional laser resurfacing is considered ablative, penetrating deeper into the skin, so it’s crucial to have the procedure performed by a qualified doctor to ensure safety and effectiveness.
