The FAQ of the fractional CO2 laser treatment

How does the Fractional CO2 laser treatment work?

The Fractional CO2 laser treatment works by creating thousands of tiny holes in the skin and generating heat in the skin. This stimulates the formation of new, fresh, and healthy collagen to replace old and damaged collagen seen in fine lines, wrinkles, surgical scars, acne scars, and stretch marks. The Fractional CO2 laser also treats other concerns such as dark spots and discolorations.

What results can I expect from the Fractional CO2laser?

As seen in the photograph here, significant improvement in the color and texture of the skin can be seen one month after a single Fractional CO2 treatment. This includes dark spots from sun damage, fines lines around the eyes, and enlarged pores. The Fractional CO2 laser treatment will also address deeper wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, and surgical scars such as from a C-section, breast augmentation, or tummy tuck.

How many Fractional CO2 laser treatments will I need?

Most people have one to two Fractional CO2 laser treatments and are very happy with their results.

How long do the results from the Fractional CO2laser last?

Most people enjoy their results from a Fractional CO2 laser treatment for long periods. Dr. recommends a maintenance treatment every one to two years.
