Fractional Co2 Laser

CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful techniques used on the face to promote new skin whilst combatting issues associated with ageing, sun damage, texture and acne scarring.

What scars do best with fractional co2 laser?

Laser resurfacing is best for superficial to medium depth scars. These include boxcar scars, shallow pick and ice pick scars, superficial rolling scars as well as hypertrophic scars.
Lasers will also improve skin quality, shrink pores & reduce pigmentation. They can improve the light reflex & radiance of your skin.

How does laser work to treat acne scars?

Laser work by stimulation of collagen as well as breakdown of scar tissue. Controlled heating of lasers stimulates a cascade of pro-inflammatory mediators through HSP or heat shock protein. This results in generation of new collagen production in the deeper layers of skin.

How long does it take to see the results of fractional CO2 laser treatment?

Fractional CO2 laser or laser skin resurfacing will need 2 to 6 sittings of application depending on the severity of scars or the number of wrinkles present. Usually, these laser skin resurfacing treatments are spaced 3–4 weeks apart for the most permanent results. The full results will be seen 3-6 months after treatment.
