How Does Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing Work?

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing is when the laser splits off into multiple, smaller beams. This allows the skin to heal more quickly and significantly reduces the downtime. The lasers cause minor damage to the skin and remove the thin layer known as the epidermis. At the same time, it also heats the underlying skin called the dermis.

This process helps stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Once the epidermis heals and regrows, the new skin can appear smoother with a brighter complexion.

What Are The Risks of Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing can help enhance your appearance, but there are a few risks you need to be aware of before considering it.

These risks include the following:

  • Bleeding
  • Scarring
  • Increased chance of infection
  • Burning
  • Changes in your pigmentation
  • Worsen acne
  • Skin dryness
  • Peeling

If any of these symptoms worsen or persist even after the recovery period, seek medical attention immediately.
