CO₂ Fractional Lasers
Introduction
Ageing, sun exposure, and acne scars can leave the skin uneven, dull, and textured. CO₂ Fractional Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that targets deep layers of the skin to repair damage, stimulate collagen, and restore a smoother, more youthful complexion.
What is a CO₂ Fractional Laser?
The CO₂ fractional laser uses a carbon dioxide laser to create tiny microscopic channels in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, boosts collagen production, and improves overall skin texture.
Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, fractional technology allows faster healing with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for deep skin rejuvenation.
