Fractional CO2 Laser: LASER SKIN RESURFACING TREATMENT FOR ACNE SCARS AND AGING SKIN.

With its versatility in treating various skin concerns, Fractional CO2 Laser is an effective laser resurfacing treatment that diminishes hyperpigmentation issues such as acne scars and sun spots, while also combating visible signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. Through the use of carbon dioxide (CO2), this laser treatment precisely resurfaces and revitalises the deeper layers of the skin — the dermal layer — for a comprehensive enhancement of skin texture and appearance.

“Fractional” refers to the laser’s precise targeting of a specific area of the skin, while ensuring the surrounding healthy skin remains unharmed. This unique approach accelerates skin healing and minimises downtime, distinguishing it from traditional ablative laser resurfacing. The targeted precision helps actively trigger the body’s natural healing mechanisms to effectively stimulate new collagen production for skin that is visibly smoother, firmer, and younger-looking.

The Fractional CO2 Laser energy pulses targets the skin’s deeper layers (dermal layer), stimulating new collagen production for an overall skin rejuvenation. Fractional CO2 Laser works by delivering a concentrated beam of laser energy into the skin’s dermal layers to create tiny, evenly-controlled microscopic wounds. These targeted micro-injuries effectively eliminate damaged skin cells while triggering our body’s healing responses. This natural healing process triggers a boost in collagen production, which fosters the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

Fractional CO2 Laser has become a highly regarded treatment option for an array of skin concerns. Primarily known for fading stubborn acne scars and sun spots, this treatment also delves deeper into the skin’s layers, providing additional benefits such as minimising enlarged pores and effectively combating visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and sagging skin.
