Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Our practice uses Fractional CO2 laser technology in many of our laser skin resurfacing procedures. This advanced technique employs carbon dioxide laser energy to penetrate deep into the skin of the targeted area without affecting surrounding tissues. During the procedure, the laser will reduce the outer layers of damaged skin and help the collagen in the deeper layers to grow, ultimately resulting in healthier and more refreshed-looking skin.

Laser skin resurfacing typically takes about 15 minutes to an hour to perform, depending on the number and size of the areas being treated. You will likely experience some redness and the feeling of a mild sunburn after the procedure; however, this should quickly fade. Most patients can resume normal daily routines immediately after treatment, though more extensive procedures may require a day or two of recovery.
