CO2 Fractional Laser - face
How does it work and who is it for?
CO2 Fractional Laser for the face is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a carbon dioxide laser to create microscopic channels in the facial skin.
Unlike traditional CO2 lasers that remove the entire top layer of skin, fractional lasers treat a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact. This allows for faster healing and reduced downtime.
The laser energy vaporizes damaged skin cells, stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. CO2 fractional laser is suitable for individuals looking to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone on their face.
It's generally not recommended for people with active skin infections, certain medical conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Skin Resurfacing
This is a primary function of the CO2 fractional laser.
By creating controlled micro-injuries in the facial skin, the laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin firmness and elasticity.
This leads to a smoother, tighter, and more youthful complexion with reduced wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
Scar Removal (on the face)
Similar to its effect on acne scars, the CO2 fractional laser can significantly improve the appearance of other types of facial scars, such as surgical or injury scars.
The laser energy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates the growth of new, healthier skin.
This can help to reduce the size, depth, and discoloration of scars, making them less noticeable.
Acne Treatment (specifically acne scarring)
CO2 fractional laser is highly effective in treating acne scars on the face, particularly atrophic (depressed) scars.
The laser creates microscopic columns of thermal damage, which triggers the body's natural healing response and stimulates new collagen production.
This process helps to fill in the scars and improve the overall texture and appearance of the facial skin. It is not generally used for active acne.
Anti-Aging
CO2 fractional laser is a powerful anti-aging treatment for the face.
By stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin, it can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and other signs of aging, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance.
Your Questions Answered
What is the downtime associated with CO2 Fractional Laser treatment?
Because the CO2 fractional laser treats only a fraction of the skin, the downtime is significantly less than with traditional CO2 lasers. Immediately after the treatment, the skin will be red and feel warm, similar to a sunburn.
Over the next few days, the treated areas will develop tiny scabs or microcrusts that will naturally flake off. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 5-7 days, although some redness may persist for up to a week or two.
How many CO2 Fractional Laser treatments are needed to see results?
The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of the skin concerns being addressed.
For mild to moderate skin rejuvenation, 1-2 treatments may be sufficient. For more significant concerns like deep acne scars or severe sun damage, 3-5 treatments or more may be recommended.
Treatments are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for proper healing and collagen regeneration.
Are the results of CO2 Fractional Laser treatment permanent?
The results of CO2 fractional laser treatment are long-lasting, but they are not entirely permanent. The new collagen produced after the treatment can significantly improve skin texture, tone, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections.
However, the natural aging process will continue, and new wrinkles or skin damage may develop over time. Maintaining a good skincare routine and protecting the skin from sun exposure can help to prolong the results of the treatment.
