Fractional CO2 Laser is one of the best versatile tools for the treatment of scars, resurfacing & rejuvenation. Fractionated Laser beams penetrate deep into the skin causing ablation & micro thermal wounds in the epidermis. The untreated areas will help in healing of the treated areas faster. The skin thus repairs naturally shedding out the dead cells and gets renewed.
Avoid any night creams 2 days before the CO2 Laser procedure.
Topical anaesthetic is applied 45-60 minutes beforehand. Treatment typically takes 20-60 minutes depending on the area and modality (fractional vs. ablative).
There is definitely downtime of 3-5 days. Blackish peeling skin is seen. Cooling, occlusive dressings, and clear aftercare instructions are provided. Post-procedure care should be followed as prescribed by the Doctor. Review is at 4-6 weeks. Final results are visible at 3-6 months as collagen remodelling completes. Multiple sessions may be recommended.
