Fractional CO₂ Laser uses a fractionated beam to create thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin. These channels remove damaged tissue while preserving surrounding skin to support faster healing. As the skin repairs itself, new collagen forms, which helps reduce the depth and visibility of scars and promotes a smoother surface over time.
It is most effective for atrophic acne scars (rolling, boxcar), surgical scars, and injury-related marks.
Extra caution is needed for medium to deep skin tones due to the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your doctor will assess suitability before proceeding.
A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. Most patients feel a warm or prickling sensation, which is manageable and short-lived.
Mild peeling or flaking may occur within a few days as the skin regenerates. This is a normal part of the healing process.
Yes. Fractional CO₂ Laser can be combined with other scar treatments such as subcision or topical therapy, depending on the type of scar and desired outcome. It may also be used alongside injectables like PDRN and skin boosters to enhance the skin’s repair and regeneration process.
