The fractional CO2 laser is a cosmetic treatment that uses a CO2 laser to improve skin appearance. It creates tiny columns of injury to stimulate collagen and elastin production, reducing fine lines and improving texture and tone. It can treat acne scars, age spots, sun damage, and more. Consult a licensed professional to determine if it’s right for you.
Fractional CO2 is a resurfacing method that utilizes laser beams to create zones of heat injury to the skin. Indeed, this is proven to stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells to replace old, damaged cells. As a result, this turnover of skin cells produces collagen, which is just accelerated by the body’s natural healing process.
By addressing the skin at the cellular level, we can effectively turn back time on your skin and produce a more youthful and radiant appearance with your natural skin texture. To clarify, the CO2 laser uses carbon dioxide to evaporate the skin’s top layers. As a result, these dermis layers accumulate damage over the years, usually in the form of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, and scars.
By removing these damaged skin layers, the newly treated skin allows the body to create new skin cells rich in collagen. This process addresses small areas of skin at a time, leaving the surrounding skin and tissue untouched. Therefore, CO2 Laser is one of the best skin tightening solutions for almost all skin tones.
A good candidate for CO2 laser is someone with skin concerns such as fine lines, age spots, sun damage, acne scars, or textural irregularities which is in good health and has realistic expectations. Consult a licensed professional to determine if it’s right for you.
Similar to Intense Pulse Light (IPL), your skin will likely look red, peeling, scaley, and tender like a sunburn after your Fraxel treatment. These side effects on the treated area may subside within a few hours or linger for a few days, depending on the depth of your procedure and how your body heals. That is to say; our medical staff will provide you with instructions on how to care for your skin during this vulnerable time. It’s important to keep safe from sun exposure during your recovery period.
Skin Works medical staff will provide instructions on how to care for your skin during this vulnerable time, including applications of ice to minimize swelling and topical moisturizers designed to promote healing to the dermis. In conclusion, most patients will not feel comfortable returning to social situations for 3-5 days until these side effects have resolved.
