CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment
CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment is a skin resurfacing procedure designed to improve skin texture and tone and reduce the appearance of selected concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and sun-related skin changes.
At Lifero Skin and Hair Clinic, treatment suitability is assessed individually. The recommended laser settings, treatment intensity, number of sessions, and recovery plan depend on factors such as your skin type, skin concern, medical history, and treatment goals.
What Is CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment?
CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment uses fractional carbon dioxide laser energy to create controlled microscopic treatment zones within the skin. This process can encourage collagen remodeling and skin renewal while leaving untreated areas between the treatment zones to support the healing process.
Depending on the treatment plan, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing may be considered for acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, pigmentation concerns, and selected signs of sun damage.
Potential Benefits of CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment
Skin Texture Improvement
Fractional laser resurfacing can help improve uneven skin texture and support collagen remodeling as the skin heals.
Acne Scar Improvement
Depending on the type and depth of acne scars, CO2 fractional laser treatment may help soften their appearance and improve overall skin texture.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Collagen remodeling following treatment may help reduce the appearance of selected fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin smoothness.
Sun Damage and Uneven Skin Tone
Fractional resurfacing may help improve certain sun-related skin changes and uneven skin tone when appropriately selected for the patient.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Treatment intensity and settings can be adjusted according to the patient's skin condition, treatment goals, and expected recovery needs.
