The Fractional CO2 Laser functions by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface, triggering the body's natural healing response.
As the laser energy is applied, it forms thermal columns that penetrate deep into the dermis, targeting damaged tissue while sparing adjacent healthy skin.
This targeted approach allows for the removal of older, damaged skin cells and stimulates the production of new collagen, elastin, and skin cells.
As the skin regenerates over time, improvements in texture, tone, and firmness become evident. This dual action not only addresses surface-level concerns but also enhances sub-dermal rejuvenation.
The fractional CO2 laser is a versatile tool for addressing various skin concerns:
(acne scars, surgical scars)
Minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, reducing side effects and downtime.
Skin heals more quickly due to the preservation of healthy tissue around the treated areas.
Stimulates collagen production for sustained improvement in skin texture and firmness.
Treats a wide range of skin concerns on various areas of the body.
The number of sessions needed depends on the severity of your concerns and desired results. Generally, a minimum of 5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended.

Depending on the targeted concern, the downtime can range from 1 day (skin rejuvenation), up to 7 days (acne scars). The downtime includes redness over areas targeted by the laser for about 2-3 days. The redness then settles into a light scabbing which is much less obvious for the following 3-4 days. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

As the body naturally begins to rebuild and replenish collagen after each session, the cumulative effect is a more resilient and youthful skin appearance that can endure for months or even years.
The improvement for acne scars tends to be permanent, unless new pimples form and cause new scars. For concerns associated with aging, such as enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, maintenance is typically recommended.
