Fractional CO2 is a revolutionary treatment that offers hope for women who suffer from acne scars, providing an opportunity to achieve white, smooth, and clear skin. By harnessing the power of laser technology, Fractional CO2 can turn this dream into reality.

How does Fractional CO2 work? Fractional CO2 treatment involves the delivery of small spots of laser energy into the skin, emitting light waves with a wavelength of around 10,600 nm. With the help of a precision scanner system, thousands of these spots are delivered to the targeted areas. As the light waves touch the skin, they are transformed into energy. This process stimulates the transformation of old cells into dead cells in the treated areas. Over the following 1-2 weeks, the body naturally sheds off these dead cells, making way for new cell growth. This regeneration process replaces approximately 10-20% of the old skin on the treated area. Collagen remodeling continues even after the treatment, resulting in ongoing improvements in skin texture and appearance.

Treatment procedure Before the procedure, the face is cleansed, and a topical anesthesia is applied to minimize pain during the treatment. The anesthesia is left on for about 45-60 minutes. Once the area is prepared, the doctor will set the energy and spot size and begin directing the laser handpiece towards the skin, moving it along the areas that require treatment. The duration of the treatment will vary depending on the severity of the skin condition but typically takes around 20 minutes.

What to expect after the treatment After the Fractional CO2 treatment, you may experience some redness and a burning sensation in the treated areas. A cream will be applied to reduce redness. It is important to take extra care of the treated areas by applying moisturizer and sunscreen with an SPF greater than 30. Minimize sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks to allow for proper healing. Within 3-4 days after the treatment, you may notice that the treated area feels rough, grainy, or flaky. This is a normal part of the healing process, and it is important to let the dead skin shed off naturally within 5-7 weeks. Avoid scratching or manually peeling the area, as this can potentially cause more scarring.

By undergoing Fractional CO2 treatment and following proper aftercare instructions, you can embark on a journey towards achieving smoother and clearer skin. Consult with a specialist at the clinic to determine if Fractional CO2 is the right option for your specific concerns and goals. Enjoy the transformative power of this advanced laser technology, and regain confidence in your complexion.
