What is Fractional Laser CO2 Skin Resurfacing?

Fractional Laser CO2 Skin Resurfacing is your single-treatment solution for beautiful younger-looking skin. It is a single treatment with minimal patient downtime. During the procedure, a high-energy beam of laser light is used to smooth out lines, wrinkles, and scars, remove brown spots and other irregularities, and tighten the skin. It also stimulates formation of new underlying collagen to continue improvement over time. We typically use fractional CO2 resurfacing along with other lasers to correct redness, loose skin and pigmentation all in one treatment. This is the “Laser Lift” which will make you look years younger in one treatment.

With Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment, only a fraction of the skin's surface is treated by the laser, leaving small "bridges" of untouched skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster and enables you to get back to normal activities sooner, typically within one week.

Is it painful?

There is little to no pain associated with the procedure-most patients say they feel warmth similar to a sunburn. A topical numbing agent may be used prior to the procedure to minimize any discomfort. There is no need for general anesthesia.

What benefits should I expect?

Most patients experience a dramatic effect on the skin:

When will I see improvement and how long will it last?

Results of treatment are LONG TERM and, with proper sun protection and skin care regimen, can last for many years. Most effects of treatment become visible right away, whereas others-such as new collagen formation-build up gradually and results in continued smoothing over time. Therefore, most people continue to show improvement up to 6 months after the procedure.
