Laser Rejuvenation Treatments

What does Fractional CO2 Laser treat?

If you are looking to rejuvenate dull, tired, wrinkled skin then a fractional CO2 laser is the right treatment for you. The cumulative effects of sun, pollution, and stress can make your skin lose its luster.

Fractional CO2 laser is able to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas by penetrating beneath the skin’s surface to purge damaged skin. By stimulating the body’s own natural healing process the damaged skin cells are replaced with fresh, healthy ones leaving your skin smooth, even-toned, and vibrant looking.

What Should I Expect as a Result?

You can expect two levels of results, immediate and progressive. Immediate results are after initial healing is complete. Your skin’s surface will feel softer and you will have a more even skin tone. Progressive results are over the next 3-6 months; there will be a continued improvement in the pores, and firmness of the skin as the deeper layers of the skin continue to heal.
