Key Differences between HydraFacial Machine and Fractional CO2 Laser

Treatment Depth:
1. 油圧: Works on the surface of the skin to cleanse, 角質を取り除く, and hydrate. It’s more of a superficial treatment aimed at improving the outer layer of the skin.
1. フラクショナルCO2レーザー: Penetrates deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and significant skin resurfacing. It treats deeper issues such as scars, しわ, そして太陽のダメージ.
Intensity and Downtime:
1. 油圧: A gentle, relaxing treatment with no downtime. You can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment, and results are instant (radiant and hydrated skin).
1. フラクショナルCO2レーザー: Much more intense, with a longer recovery time (5–10 days of redness, 腫れ, and peeling). Skin may appear sunburned, and post-treatment care is essential. Long-term results take weeks to fully appear as the skin heals and regenerates.
Immediate vs. 長期的な結果:
1. 油圧: Immediate improvements such as smoother, hydrated skin with a glow. しかし, it doesn’t provide long-term structural changes.
