How do fractionated CO2 lasers work?

The fractional CO2 laser is an advanced skin treatment technique that involves a CO2 laser beam being split up into tiny pieces or “shafts” of light. This beam penetrates through the different layers of the skin to offer a precise and non-invasive way to improve the appearance of

Acne scars
Wrinkles
Discoloration

As the beams penetrate just deep enough into the skin, it triggers collagen production in the area, leading to smoother skin with improved texture. The fractional CO2 laser offers a simple and quick alternative that can be tailored to individuals for customized results.

Am I a good candidate for fractionated CO2 laser?

A good candidate for fractionated CO2 laser is someone looking to reduce wrinkles, lines, discoloration, and other signs of aging on their face. It is also beneficial for those who want to reduce the appearance of acne scars or those with sun-damaged skin that desire better tone and texture. It is ideal for individuals who want a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure with little downtime. Some areas of the body where fractionated CO2 laser may be used include the chest, neck, shoulders, hands, and legs. In order to determine if an individual is an ideal candidate for this procedure, they will first have a consultation with one of our highly trained medical staff.

What is the advantage of the CO2 fractional laser?

The minimal downtime procedure uses fractional CO2 laser microbeams to precisely target the deep dermal layers of the skin. This stimulates a cascade of healing responses that leads to tissue regeneration and new collagen formation throughout the entire treatment area. And because only a fraction of the skin is touched by the laser, healing time can be limited to just a few days.

How long does the fractional treatment take?

Fractionated CO2 laser treatments with DeepFX are performed at Austin Cosmetic Surgery and last for about 20 minutes. An anesthetic cream may be used prior to treatment to aid with comfort. As the microbeams are applied, you will feel a warm sensation in the treatment area.

How soon after the CO2 treatment will I see results?

Immediately following the laser treatment, your skin will feel warm and will be similar in appearance to a deep sunburn. Over the next several days you will follow a gentle washing and moisturizing regimen and avoid direct exposure to sunlight. As your skin heals, it will begin to flake, and you will notice an improvement in your wrinkles, fine lines, and scars.
