Fractional Co2 Laser Treatment
Fractional CO2 treatment removes the layers of skin in fractionated method i.e. removing a column of skin, the skin surrounding the each column is left intact to help in healing. It has the ability to ablate microscopic zones of tissue deep within the dermis as well as tissue on the skin’s surface. This treatment works on the principle of fractional photo-thermolysis.
For the comfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic may be applied or sedative medications may be prescribed to reduce discomfort.
CO2 laser treatment is the best treatment if one wishes to get the most results with only one treatment. This is the best single treatment for advanced skin damage and wrinkling. Occasionally, only single laser treatment is recommended. However, in some areas where aggressive treatments can not be used, more than one treatment is required to optimize results. Maintenance treatments may also be required.
