Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing is a highly sophisticated laser that gently and precisely removes the top layer of the sun-damaged and aging skin. It erases lines, tightens the skin, fades brown spots and wipes out acne scars. New skin cells resurface the treated area and lay down new collagen that is indistinguishable from that of newborn undamaged skin. This renewal process is similar in the result of a deep chemical peel, yet without its complications. Fractional CO2 Lasers have replaced the older CO2 laser that resulted in 4-6 weeks of down time. They are the state of the art of laser care for the face and consistently result in dramatic results for the patient. It is widely accepted in the cosmetic dermatology community that Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing is the best treatment anyone can do for their skin in order to turn back the hands of time and maintain a more youthful and beautiful you.

What can be treated effectively?

We use the CO2 Resurfacing laser like an artist’s brush, tailoring the skin rejuvenation procedure to your individual needs. Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and the mouth are smoothed. Deep laugh and frown creases can be softened. Acne scars and some uneven surgical scars are rendered much less apparent to the eyes. Even delicate areas on the lips and eyes can be rejuvenated safely and without the surgeon’s knife. Depending on the type and depth of the wrinkle or scar, three to five sessions may be performed with weekend recovery time required. For those who want a quicker result and have 7-10 days of down time available we can do a single aggressive treatment. Fractional CO2 can also be used on the neck and décolleté area. It is also used to erase stretch marks on the abdomen and other areas on the body.

Short recovery time

Patients can expect no bruising or bleeding afterwards. Most patients have minimal pain, even after full face treatments. After the treatments, patients are given detailed instructions on how to care for the skin to promote a speedy recovery. With the fractional CO2 resurfacing, the skin is pink for 2-3 days then there is peeling for a few days. Swelling and discomfort is minimal but some swelling may occur, particularly around the eyes for few days. Most patients are able to go on with daily activities after 2 days. Repeat treatments can be done in 4-6 weeks.
