Abstract

Introduction: Over the years, techniques for treating facial aging have evolved, with oral, antioxidant, and nutritional treatments, topical cosmeceuticals, peelings, and technologies such as radiofrequency, infrared, intense pulsed light, and lasers. Currently, among the lasers used for rejuvenation, there are ablative and non-ablative ones. Objective: To show the effectiveness of ablative fractional CO2 laser in facial rejuvenation. Methods: The presented article is a study that shows the superiority in results when compared with other lasers and treatments, evaluating its side effects and recovery time. Results: the author presented the result through images that are in the work. Conclusion: The ablative fractional CO2 laser proved to be an important option for the treatment of facial rejuvenation, even with a technology that has more intense side effects and longer recovery periods compared to other fractional ablative lasers.
