Fractionated CO2 is laser energy that is broken into small columns to minimize skin damage and speed healing. Fractionated CO2 is an ablative treatment that helps to remove the rough, outer layer of dead skin on your face, to reveal healthier, brighter skin below.
What is Fractionated CO2 Laser Treatment?
Fractionated CO2 is one of the most advanced and effective laser treatments for improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity. The laser emits microbeams of light, targeting small sections of skin to stimulate collagen production and the body’s natural healing process. Unlike traditional lasers, Fractionated CO2 leaves surrounding tissues untouched, speeding up healing while achieving dramatic results.
How It Works:
- Microbeams penetrate deep into the skin, breaking down damaged tissue.
- Healthy surrounding tissue promotes faster healing and collagen synthesis.
- Damaged skin is sloughed off, revealing healthier, youthful skin.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
- High levels of refinement to your skin tone and texture
- Improved skin quality and a brighter complexion
- Smoothed facial wrinkles and lines
- Stimulated growth of new skin tissues
- Reduced appearance of hyperpigmentation issues such as sunspots
- Stimulates collagen production
- Enhances the collagen stimulating effects of injectable treatments
WHO IS A CANDIDATE?
This non-surgical treatment works well for a variety of skin tones and types. You may be a candidate if:
- You have rough, uneven skin texture or dull skin
- Have hyperpigmentation issues such as sun spots
- Have wrinkles or skin laxity that you would like to address

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?
There is recovery time associated with this procedure, although it is similar to recovering from a sunburn. You will notice your skin begins to peel as it is healing throughout the first week after treatment. You will be advised to avoid sun exposure and strenuous exercise, as well as high temperatures and hot showers for a few days. You will also have cooling and soothing gels or creams to apply during this time.
