Frax CO2 or Fractional CO2 Laser is a laser resurfacing method that uses laser beams to create zones of heat injury to the skin. This is proven to stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells to replace old, damaged cells. This turnover of skin cells produces collagen, which is just the body’s natural healing process accelerated. 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. Come to Skin Works Medical Spa in Torrance, and take advantage of a complimentary consultation with our Doctor to see if you are a good candidate for fractional laser skin resurfacing!
Similar to Intense Pulse Light (IPL), after your Fraxel CO2 Laser treatment, your skin will likely look red, peeling, scaley, and feel tender like a sunburn. These side effects on the treated area may subside within a few hours or linger for a couple of days, depending on the depth of your procedure and how your body heals. 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.
How does Fractional CO2 Laser work?
Skin Works Medical Spa’s Frax Fractional CO2 uses the power of carbon dioxide to evaporate the top layers of the skin. These dermis layers tend to accumulate damage over the years, usually in the form of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, and scars. By removing these damaged skin layers, CO2 lasered 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. CO2 Laser is one of the best skin tightening solutions available for almost all skin tones. If you want to perform skin resurfacing, or if you desire to repair your acne scars, this is one of the best noninvasive resurfacing treatments ever!
