CO2 fractional laser is a cutting-edge procedure designed to address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation issues, and overall skin laxity. By harnessing the power of a concentrated beam of light, this advanced technology precisely removes the outer layers of damaged skin while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers. The result is a smoother, tighter, and more even complexion that continues to improve over time.

One of the key advantages of CO2 fractional laser therapy is its ability to treat skin concerns with remarkable accuracy. The term “fractional” refers to the laser’s method of targeting only a fraction of the skin at a time, creating microscopic channels in the tissue. Healthy surrounding tissue remains untouched, which promotes faster healing and minimizes downtime. This targeted approach is ideal for individuals seeking noticeable results without undergoing a more invasive surgical procedure.

During a CO2 fractional laser session, Rebecca our C02 laser specialist will carefully guide the laser handpiece over the treatment area. Many clients compare the sensation to a series of short, warm pricks or snaps. To enhance comfort, a topical anesthetic can be applied beforehand. Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being addressed, but most sessions last between 30 minutes to an hour. After the procedure, the skin may appear red or slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This reaction is a normal part of the body’s healing process and typically subsides within a week.

As new collagen fibers develop, skin will gradually appear firmer, smoother, and healthier in the weeks following treatment. Optimal results are usually achieved through a series of sessions, although the number of treatments needed will depend on each individual’s specific goals and skin concerns. CO2 fractional laser therapy offers long-lasting benefits, but maintaining a proper skincare routine and protecting the skin from sun exposure can help extend results even further.

Before undergoing CO2 fractional laser therapy, it is essential to have a consultation with Rebecca. She will assess your skin’s condition, discuss your medical history, and explain what you can realistically expect from the treatment. While most individuals are excellent candidates, those with certain skin conditions or medical concerns may need to explore alternative options. With careful selection and expert guidance, CO2 fractional laser treatment can provide a safe, effective way to rejuvenate the skin, reduce the visible signs of aging, and help you enjoy a renewed sense of confidence in your appearance.
