↑ Return to ContentDeep wrinkles, acne scars and deterioration in general skin quality can occur for many reasons, such as aging, sun damage, genetic predisposition and passed acne. There are a variety of methods of treatment based on different philosophy today.
In this guide, we compare two different approaches from each other: CO2 laser that restructure tissue controlled and PRGF (Plazma Rich in Growth Factors) supporting natural repair with growth factors derived from the person’s own blood. Self-specific advantages of both methods, limitations and optimal
There are situations.
The purpose of this guide is not to show one method superior to the other, which method can be more convenient in which case.

↑ Return to ContentCO2 laser is a fractional laser technology of ablative (woven) High-energy beams provide damaged tissue controlled removal by microscopic channels on the skin surface and deep.
This controlled damage triggers the natural healing response of the body and stimulates the production of new collagen. Thanks to the fractional technology, the skin is not all, certain micro fields are treated, which protects the effectiveness when shortening the recovery time.

↑ Return to ContentPRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) is a plasma concentrate that is derived from the individual’s own blood and is rich in growth factors. This method is based on the principle of acting the body’s own natural repair mechanisms rather than inserting a substance from the outside.
The resulting concentrate can be applied topically through injection to the skin or after laser. Growth factors contribute to healing skin quality over time by supporting cell regeneration, collagen production and tissue repair.
PRGF is quite low in the risk of allergic reaction because the person is derived from his own blood.

↑ Return to ContentCO2 laser in deep, static wrinkles (especially in severe tissue degradations connected to sunlight damage) provides more pronounced and quick results due to the direct restructuring capacity of tissue. A noticeable difference can be achieved even in one session.
PRGF offers a more gradual and moderate recovery when used alone in deep wrinkles; its effect is often pronounced after multiple sessions. Lightweight-middle wrinkles or CO2 laser is a valuable option as additional support treatment.
6
↑ Return to ContentAtrophic (half) CO2 laser in acne trails can provide a pronounced improvement thanks to tissue reshape power; especially effective in deep and sharp edges.
PRGF plays a supporting role in tissue repair in acne tracks and improves skin quality. It often gives more pronounced results when combined with methods such as microneedling or CO2 laser, not alone.
The type of acne permission (atrophic/hypertrophic) and depth is the most important factor, which determines which method or combination will be more convenient.

↑ Return to ContentThe overall skin renewal targets include the synchronization of skin tone, improving the appearance of the pore and increasing elasticity. CO2 laser provides a more pronounced and quick conversion in tissue structure; PRGF supports skin natural brightness and elasticity more soft.
The healing process (downtime) is one of the most prominent differences between two methods. After CO2 laser, the skin can be fried and sensitive for several days, shelling can be seen. If after PRGF, the recovery process is usually much shorter and light.
The recovery time tolerance is an important factor in the selection of methods in terms of business and social life planning.

↑ Return to Contenttopical anesthetic cream is applied to the skin before the procedure; in some cases local anesthesia can be preferred.
Fractional CO2 laser device systematically scans in the treated area. The process time varies according to the size of the treated area.
After the procedure, the skin is cooled and a protective, healing cream is applied. Detailed instructions are given for home care.

↑ Return to ContentA small amount of blood is taken from the arm to a standard blood Assay.
The imported blood is separated from rich plasma red blood cells, which is processed in a special centrifugal device.
The resulting concentrated can be injected into the skin with fine needles or can be applied topically after laser/microroneedling.

↑ Return to ContentBoth methods are considered generally safe, but risk profiles differ. Since CO2 laser creates a more pronounced controlled damage in the tissue, effects such as redness, crust and rarely stain change (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
PRGF is low risk of allergic reaction because the person is obtained from its own blood; side effects are often limited to light swelling and precision in the injection site.
In dark skin types, the risk of spot change after CO2 laser can be higher; this condition should be considered before the procedure by the doctor.

↑ Return to ContentIn many clinical practice, CO2 laser and PRGF are used as methods that complement each other, not the competitor. PRGF, applied after CO2 laser, can support the healing process, contribute to faster passage of redness and improve the quality of results.
This combination approach can be assessed especially for those who want a moderate-level skin damage and a strong effect and a supported healing process.
Before deciding on the combination treatment, it is important to evaluate your doctor's skin condition as holistically.

↑ Return to ContentWhen thinking which method can be more suitable for you, you can help your decision process to ask yourself for the following questions.
I do not have a health problem that is not under AActive skin infection or control
The answers you have given to these questions can create the basis of your consultation with your doctor.
14
↑ Return to ContentSelect which method if you choose, the following general preparation and maintenance steps help the healing process progress healthy.
azPrevented at least 2 weeks before sun exposure
,Cilt has come to the clinic without makeup before the procedure and clean
,CO2 after laser shelling zones are not covered, allowing natural peeling
Contact your doctor without any time in case of unexpected severe pain, excessive redness or infection.
