Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled laser energy to heat layers of the skin to reduce the appearance of blemishes, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, acne scars, and wrinkles. CO2 fractional laser technology is a type of ablative skin resurfacing that uses short pulsed light energy or continuous beams of energy to remove thin layers of skin with minimal damage to deeper tissue. Columns of skin are removed in a fractionated method while leaving surrounding skin intact for an easier recovery process.

CO2 fractional laser therapy is considered one of the best laser treatments for achieving significant results from a single treatment, although it does have a longer recovery period than non-ablative laser treatment. Ablative CO2 laser skin resurfacing is able to treat a wide variety of skin care concerns such as:CO2 laser skin resurfacing is performed as an in-office procedure using topical anesthetic to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. Your entire face may be treated or individual wrinkles and problem areas may be addressed instead. Depending on the treatment areas, your treatment may take anywhere from 30 to 120 minutes total. The treatment area will be dressed with a bandage that should be left on for about 24 hours, and you will be instructed on how to cleanse and moisturize your skin while it heals.The primary drawback of CO2 laser skin resurfacing is it requires downtime and a recovery process of seven to 14 days. The trade-off is that ablative laser skin resurfacing is better able to treat moderate to severe blemishes, imperfections, and texture problems. For one to two weeks after your treatment, you may experience redness, crusting that may come with oozing, dry skin, peeling, and flaking.You can expect noticeable and significant improvements in the tone, clarity, and texture of your skin after your skin heals from your treatment. Your results will continue to improve over a period of about six months as long as you take care of your skin by minimizing sun exposure and using proper skin care products.
