CO2 fractional laser treatment is a procedure that uses carbon dioxide laser technology to address deep acne scars. It works by removing layers of skin tissue, stimulating collagen production, and promoting skin resurfacing. However, the effectiveness and appropriateness of the treatment depend on factors like skin type, scar severity, and individual skin type.

​

CO2 fractional laser treatment offers several benefits for skin rejuvenation and improvement, including:

Wrinkle Reduction: CO2 fractional laser therapy can effectively target and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. It stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin.

 

Scar Reduction: The laser's precise targeting can minimize the appearance of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. It helps remodel the skin's surface and improve texture, resulting in smoother, more even skin tone.

​

Skin Tightening: CO2 fractional laser treatment can tighten loose or sagging skin by stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue contraction. This leads to firmer, more youthful-looking skin, particularly in areas prone to laxity such as the face, neck, and décolletage.

 

Pigmentation Correction: The laser can effectively target and lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, including age spots, sun spots, and melasma. It breaks down excess melanin in the skin, resulting in a more even complexion and reduced pigmentation irregularities.

 

Improvement of Skin Texture: CO2 fractional laser treatment smoothens skin texture by promoting cellular turnover and exfoliation. It helps reduce roughness, unevenness, and pore size, resulting in a smoother, more refined skin surface.

 

Treatment of Actinic Keratosis: This laser therapy can be used to treat precancerous skin lesions known as actinic keratosis. By precisely targeting and removing abnormal cells, it reduces the risk of developing skin cancer.

 

Minimal Downtime: Compared to traditional ablative CO2 laser treatments, fractional CO2 laser therapy offers shorter downtime and faster recovery. The fractional approach treats only a fraction of the skin's surface, allowing for quicker healing while still delivering significant results.
