MiXto SX fractional CO2 laser is a skin resurfacing treatment for wrinkle reduction and the treatment of acne scars and skin irregularities. It is ideal for most skin types and is safe for use on the face and the rest of the body. The MiXto SX laser delivers tiny beams of light energy to the top and mid layers of the skin resulting in:
Conventional CO2 laser resurfacing is associated with considerable ‘downtime’ because it causes extensive areas of rawness that take at least 2 weeks to recover and it carries a high risk of complications such as skin discolouration and occasionally scarring.
The MiXto SX fractional CO2 laser works by applying CO2 laser energy in a very narrow, scanned beam. Fractional means that only a fraction of the skin surface is exposed to the laser beam, leaving untreated skin around each treated micro spot. This results in faster natural healing and a shorter recovery time. Some patients notice an improvement in skin texture and colour after just one treatment.
The Mixto laser treatment is highly tolerable. Most patients will feel some stinging or hot sensation during the procedure and for several hours afterwards. Topical anaesthetic cream is routinely applied on the skin an hour before the procedure.
Treatment time for a full face is approximately 25 minutes.
Your skin will look red like a sunburn for about 2–3 days after the treatment. The skin will then peel from days 3–4 and this is usually complete by days 5–6 leaving newly rejuvenated skin with improved colour and texture.
You will be prescribed a moisturising healing cream after the treatment. Makeup can be applied from day 3 when the skin is less red and starting to peel. Do not try to remove the peeling skin by wiping; let the skin peel off naturally. Apply sunscreen daily during the healing phase.
Superficial wrinkles and skin defects usually disappear after one treatment. Deeper wrinkles and acne scars may need 2 to 3 treatments, spaced 1 month apart.
Side effects are uncommon and may include hyperpigmentation (darker discolouration) and this is often mild and temporary. Rare side effects include blistering or scarring.
The MiXto fractional CO2 laser treatment has been proven to be safe for the face, neck, chest, and hands. This laser technology for skin resurfacing provides a rapid onset of results with minimal post-laser downtime and potential side effects.
