What is fractional laser skin resurfacing?
CO2 laser treatments, also known as fractional laser skin resurfacing, are recommended for patients with skin damage such as wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture. This treatment works by using a laser to remove the top layer of skin, stimulating new collagen production for improved skin texture and appearance.
Fractional laser treatments can also improve the appearance of age spots, sun damage, melasma, and yellow tones in the skin. Results from this treatment usually take about two to three weeks to fully show, with continued improvement over the following months.
What are the known risks and side effects of fractional laser treatments?
This type of treatment does come with some potential side effects, including redness and irritation, but these typically subside within a few days after the treatment. It is vital that you follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your doctor to ensure optimal results and minimize any discomfort. Overall, fractional laser skin resurfacing can be an excellent option for those looking to improve the appearance of their skin.
