A CO2 fractional laser is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a carbon dioxide laser to target specific areas of the skin, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture and tone.

Fractional laser skin resurfacing is a highly effective, skin rejuvenation laser technique.

This treatment is excellent for reducing uneven pigmentation, acne scars and sun damage.Treatments are done most often on the face, but can be done almost anywhere on the body including the face, neck, décolleté and abdomen.

The CO2 laser is one of the most popular laser platforms used in the cosmetic dermatology industry. Physicians, practitioners and medical spas looking to treat patients quickly and efficiently find this laser especially helpful at removing superficial lines, wrinkles and visible signs of ageing.

Treatment Benefits:

Skin Rejuvenation: CO2 lasers stimulate collagen production, which helps to reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and tighten the skin.

Scar Reduction: CO2 laser treatment can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scarring.

Sun Damage Correction: CO2 lasers can effectively address sun-damaged skin, including age spots and uneven pigmentation.

Improved Skin Tone and Texture: The treatment promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells, leading to a smoother, more even complexion.

Long-Lasting Results: CO2 laser treatments can provide long-lasting results, with some patients experiencing improvements that can last for years.

Enhanced Self-Esteem: By addressing skin concerns, CO2 laser treatments can boost patients’ confidence and self-esteem.
