Fractional CO2

What is Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

Fractional laser skin resurfacing is a procedure used for reducing age spots on the face, chest, neck, hands, and arms. During the procedure, fractional laser device is used for delivering precise laser micro beams into lower layers of the skin to create deep and narrow tissue coagulation columns. It removes the layers of skin tissue to reduce the age-spots. The coagulated tissue in the treated area helps stimulate the healing process naturally which leads to quick growth of new healthy tissue. 

Fractional CO2 Laser causes minimal discomfort and produces lasting results with almost no downtime. The patients may require multiple treatments at one- to four-week intervals for achieving desired results.
