Fractionated CO2 laser: what is it?

The Fractionated CO2 Laser is considered the gold-standard non-surgical treatment for skin rejuvenation. It can be applied to the following areas:

  • Face (facial rejuvenation)
  • Neck
  • Neckline
  • Hands

Benefits of treatment

Reduces wrinkles and fine lines;
Smoothes deep wrinkles;
Improves skin texture and firmness;
Removes stains and sun damage;
Stimulates collagen production.

By stimulating collagen production, this treatment also leads to a gradual improvement in results over the following months.

By treating only a "fraction" of the facial skin, the healing process is faster, with less downtime and fewer complications compared to the first CO2 lasers.

This laser can also be used as a scalpel to perform minor skin surgery.

FAQS

Fractionated CO2 Laser
The full-face treatment will take around an hour and a half. It is recommended that you have a companion who can bring you to the clinic and take you home on the day of the procedure.
Before starting the treatment, an anaesthetic cream will be applied to the skin. This will help reduce discomfort during the procedure.
However, you may still experience some discomfort during and after treatment.
For more aggressive treatments, we block some nerves to ensure that the area is completely anaesthetised.
The patient's response to treatment can vary. However, the expected reactions are: redness, occasional bleeding, exudation and oedema.

The degree and duration of these reactions will depend on the depth/aggressiveness of your treatment.

Wounded and exuding skin can persist for 1 to 10 days, while redness can last from 1 to 12 weeks, depending on the depth of treatment. Generally, oedema is a short-term response. The use of cold compresses and a suitable sleeping position (belly up and head elevated) are recommended.
Most patients who have this skin rejuvenation treatment can return to work a week after the procedure.
This type of treatment is usually carried out in winter due to the precautions that need to be taken with regard to sun exposure.

Only in very specific cases do we carry out this treatment in the summer.
The results obtained with the fractionated CO2 laser will depend on a number of variables such as lifestyle, skin care, age and the patient's health.

Treatment information

People with darker skin tones are at greater risk of pigmentary complications in the treated area, including dark pigmentation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) or loss of pigment (hypopigmentation).

For these reasons, not everyone is a candidate for CO2 laser resurfacing and a consultation is necessary.

If you are not a candidate for the CO2 laser, other treatments are available at the MYFACE clinic.
