What is Fractional CO2 Laser?
The Fractional CO2 Laser is a highly effective, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and address various skin imperfections such as scars, pigmentation, and sun damage. It works by using controlled laser energy to create tiny, microthermal zones in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and boosting collagen production for smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
How Does Fractional CO2 Laser Work?
The Fractional CO2 Laser uses carbon dioxide (CO2) to deliver laser beams that penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional laser treatments that treat the entire skin surface, fractional CO2 only targets a fraction of the skin, leaving surrounding areas intact. This promotes faster healing while providing dramatic skin improvements by:
- Stimulating Collagen: The laser energy penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping to firm and tighten the skin.
- Resurfacing Skin Texture: It removes damaged skin cells layer by layer, reducing wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and other imperfections.
- Treating Hyperpigmentation: The laser can lighten pigmentation, including sunspots and uneven skin tone, resulting in a more even complexion.
Benefits of Fractional CO2 Laser
- Skin Rejuvenation: Effectively reduces fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
- Scar Reduction: Significantly improves the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
- Pigmentation Treatment: Evens out skin tone by reducing dark spots, age spots, and other pigmentation issues.
- Minimal Downtime: Faster recovery time compared to traditional laser treatments, with minimal downtime.
- Long-lasting Results: The improvements continue as collagen production increases over the weeks following the treatment, leading to long-lasting, radiant skin.
What to Expect During the Procedure
A Fractional CO2 Laser session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The process includes:
- A topical anesthetic may be applied to the skin to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- The laser handpiece is moved across the treatment area, delivering precise laser pulses to the skin’s deeper layers.
- You may experience a mild warmth or tingling sensation during the procedure.
After treatment, the skin may appear red or swollen, similar to a sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few days. The treated area will gradually heal, and you will notice an improvement in skin tone and texture as collagen production increases.
Who is Fractional CO2 Laser For?
Fractional CO2 Laser is ideal for individuals looking to address the following concerns:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
- Scars: Including acne scars, injury scars, and surgical scars.
- Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation: Reduces the appearance of sunspots, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
- Stretch Marks: Helps minimize the appearance of stretch marks on the body.
