FRACTIONAL CO2 LASER
​
​
Co2 Fractional laser skin resurfacing is one of the latest and most popular technologies for rejuvenating and improving the look of aged skin. Like other skin lasers, these devices deliver heat through the top layer of the skin (the epidermis) and into its dermis (underlying layer).
But unlike other types of lasers, the heat is delivered in a “fractional” way. This means the device splits (fractionates) the laser light into thousands of microscopic “columns” of heat. The targeted skin cells within these columns are destroyed, but the surrounding tissues are left intact. So, although we pass the laser over the whole area, we are actually treating only 20 to 30 percent of the skin. As a result, the skin heals much quicker.
​
It is the most effective laser skin treatment for lines, wrinkles, sun damaged skin, acne scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone without the lengthy downtime associated with traditional C02 laser procedures.
​
What does Laser Resurfacing involve?
This fractional laser penetrates deep into the skin and is used to target specific areas of the face and deeper wrinkles.
​
What to Expect During and After Treatment?
​
A topical anesthetic or numbing agent will be applied to your skin before the treatment begins. During the treatment itself, which can take 20 to 40 minutesl. On a pain scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst, most patients tend to rate the pain at about a 4.
For about 24-48 hours after treatment, you’ll feel — and look — like you have a slight sunburn. Your skin will appear pink or red. Over the next week or two, your skin will flake, renew and heal.
We will give you instructions for how to care for your skin following treatment.
You can expect to return to your social life within1 - 7 days, depending on how aggressive the treatment was.
