Fractional Co2 laser

Fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers are one of the latest advances in non-surgical skin resurfacing treatments.

How does fractional Co2 laser works?

The fractional CO2 laser takes the CO2 laser beam and fractionates, or pixellates that beam into thousands of tiny little shafts of light. These tiny shafts of light penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. The skin then repairs those tiny shafts by pushing out the old sun damaged skin and replacing it with new skin. The "collateral" heat damage also helps to shrink existing collagen. - See more at: Click here
