Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a highly effective treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, and other skin imperfections. Using Cynosure Smartskin® technology, this treatment helps improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity, leaving you with a more youthful appearance.

What is Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing? 

Cynosure Smartskin Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing targets only a fraction of the skin’s surface, leaving surrounding areas intact for faster healing and fewer complications. Unlike traditional ablative laser resurfacing, which removes the entire top layer of skin, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing targets only a fraction of the skin’s surface. The laser stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. This treatment is particularly effective for addressing wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and large pores.

What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that harnesses the power of high-energy laser light to enhance the skin’s appearance. This treatment is designed to address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and other imperfections. By targeting specific areas, laser skin resurfacing promotes smoother, more youthful-looking skin. It can be performed on various parts of the body, such as the face, neck, chest, and hands, making it a versatile option for those seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

How Does Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing Work?

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is a specialized form of laser skin resurfacing that utilizes a carbon dioxide laser to create micro-injuries in the skin. This advanced technique involves dividing the laser beam into thousands of tiny columns, which penetrate deeply into the skin’s layers. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural collagen production and promote skin renewal. The surrounding skin remains untouched, allowing for quicker healing and minimizing downtime. This method is particularly effective in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin laxity, resulting in a noticeable improvement in skin texture and tone.

Benefits of Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing 

Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Fractional laser resurfacing stimulates collagen production, helping to smooth the appearance of wrinkles.

Improves Skin Texture and Tone

Fractional laser treatment helps with uneven skin tone, sun damage, and discoloration.

Minimizes Acne Scars

The treatment can reduce the appearance of acne scars and other imperfections. While ablative laser treatment can also reduce acne scars, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing offers a less invasive option with quicker recovery times.

Shorter Recovery Time

Fractional laser technology allows for faster healing compared to traditional ablative laser treatments.

Candidates for Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing 

Individuals looking to improve the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, or uneven skin tone may benefit from fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. It is also effective for treating benign skin growths such as actinic keratosis, warts, and moles. It is suitable for most skin types, but a consultation is necessary to determine if this treatment is the best option for your skin concerns.

The Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment 

During the procedure, the Cynosure Smartskin laser is passed over the skin, delivering pulses of energy that target specific areas while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. The treatment typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area treated. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort during the procedure. Proper aftercare is essential to ensure the treated skin heals effectively and to minimize the risk of complications.

Everything went perfect. He’s the king of surgeons who works not only for the money but also because he loves what he does. I’m glad I chose him! 

Everything went perfect. The staff is very professional, everything they explain is exactly what they do the day of the procedure. Follow up is perfect. Dr. Schwitzer is well prepared, before I chose him I did some research on his professional background and I saw all publications he has made and that amazed me. He’s the king of surgeons who works not only for the money but also because he loves what he does. I’m glad I chose him!

New Radiance Cosmetic Center deserves more than 5 Stars. Jeanine was wonderful and so supportive and informative.

I am now down to my desired weight and starting the maintenance program. I am so pleased with New Radiance, that I have referred a friend of mine, who is also very happy with the program. I will definitely contact Jeanine and ask about other treatments and procedures that are done there. Jeanine, thank you again for everything.

Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment Results and Recovery 

After the laser resurfacing treatment, the skin may appear red and swollen, similar to a sunburn. Most patients experience some peeling and crusting as the skin heals over the following days. Results become more visible as the skin improves over the next several weeks. The full effects of the treatment, such as smoother skin and a reduction in wrinkles or discoloration, can be seen in the months following the procedure.
