The carbon dioxide laser used in the ablation works for exfoliation (shedding) of the skin. While other lasers can penetrate through it to reach its goal as a tattoo or a blood vessel, the CO2 laser interacts with the water. As soon as it reaches the skin, which has a high water content, the heats and vaporizes. The process resembles a burn that causes an immediate contraction of the skin.
Recovery takes time. Patients can expect the skin flaking and crusting on the face for about a week, followed by a period of redness that can last several weeks. The pink color may take up to several months but can be covered with makeup.

Patients with a history of herpes, for example, should receive a preventive medication could be reactivated as infecting the entire face.
While the CO2 laser penetrates into the dermis, the only work in chemical exfoliating the upper layers of the skin. There are different types of chemical peelings are available, including alfahidroxi acids (glycolic acid and lactic acid) and TCA or trichloroacetic acid, which exfoliate the skin. Many alfahidroxi acids, at concentrations between 5 percent and 10 percent are sold freely, and are useful in the daily care of skin. However, those used by doctors, with concentrations between 20 percent and 22 percent, are most effective.
At present the United States in the most recent Microdermabrasion is a treatment in which aluminum hydroxide crystals are released into the face and subsequent aspirates. The Microdermabrasion is not as deep as exfoliation with CO2 laser or chemical, but it works by exfoliating, removing dead skin cells from the surface layer. Has no recovery time, no longer burning or redness. When making the procedure the patient can apply makeup and return to their work.
