The Fractional CO2 Laser skin treatment is a skin resurfacing technology that successfully corrects a variety of dermatological and cosmetic skin conditions with optimal comfort and minimal post-treatment pain and care. Fractional CO2 laser skin treatments provide excellent results for skin resurfacing and when correcting skin conditions including scars, uneven or dull skin and fine lines.

Fractional laser skin treatments are able to treat desired areas without affecting untreated, healthy tissue. More specifically, fractional skin treatments create narrow, deep columns that extend through the epidermis into the dermis through an array of intense laser energy microbeams. These columns can either be “non-ablative” (the laser beams coagulate the affected tissue) or “ablative” (the laser beams vaporize the affected tissue). In addition, your body’s natural healing process will create new, healthy tissue to replace the columns of affected tissue, hence improving your skin condition.

Q1: Does the fractional CO2 laser treatment hurt?
A1: For sure, they are far more comfortable than traditional laser treatments. Some patients have described the feeling following a non-ablative procedure as a mild “sting,” not unlike sunburn, which diminishes following the treatment. Ablative treatments typically require a light topical anesthetic before the procedure and a mild post-treatment pain management.

Q2: How many sessions will I need?
A2: The number of treatments required will depend on the condition being treated and if it is an ablative or non-ablative procedure. It may take 6 non-ablative treatments to achieve best results. You should consider how quickly you would like to see results and how much downtime you are willing to experience when deciding on a treatment.

Q3: How long will side effects last, if any?
A3: Your skin may be mildly red and swelling may occur. As the redness and swelling subsides, a tanned look usually becomes visible. The tanned appearance will fade over the next few days as new, healthy skin replaces the laser-treated tissue. Your skin will be back to normal in less than a week.

Q4: Should I protect myself from the sun after the procedure?
A4: Yes. Apply high-factor sunscreen at least 2 times a day for the next 1 week.
