Fraxel CO₂ Laser – Skin Resurfacing & Renewal

Fraxel CO₂ Laser – Skin Resurfacing & Renewal

What is Fraxel CO₂ Laser?

Fraxel CO₂ is a fractional ablative laser treatment that creates microscopic columns of thermal injury in the skin, triggering rapid collagen remodeling and resurfacing. FDA-approved, it effectively treats deep wrinkles, scars and pigmentation with precision.

How Does Fraxel CO₂ Laser Work?

  • Fractional Micro-Ablation – Tiny laser beams remove columns of damaged tissue while leaving surrounding skin intact.

  • Thermal Coagulation Zones – Heat delivers controlled injury to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

  • Natural Healing Process – New, healthy skin replaces the treated columns over 1–2 weeks.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

  • Full Face – Improves overall texture, reduces fine lines and tightens sagging skin.

  • Face & Neck – Addresses laxity, sun damage and neck bands.

  • Targeted Spots (Scars, Pigmentation) – Precisely treats acne scars, surgical scars, age spots and melasma.

What to Expect During the Treatment?

  • Topical Numbing – A cream is applied 30–45 minutes before to minimize discomfort.

  • Warm, Tingling Sensation – Laser pulses feel like quick snaps of heat.

  • 1–2 Hours in Office – Session length varies by treatment area.

  • Moderate Downtime – 3–7 days of redness, swelling and peeling.

  • Visible Renewal – Fresh skin emerges after peeling; full results in 3–6 months.

Who Is This Treatment For?

  • ✔ Individuals with moderate to severe sun damage and deep wrinkles.

  • ✔ Clients seeking significant improvement in acne or surgical scars.
