Co2 Fractional Laser

CO, Laser Skin Resurfacing is an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce visible signs of ageing, and stimulate natural collagen production. It is highly effective for increasing collagen levels, improving skin elasticity, softening fine lines and wrinkles, and treating concerns such as stretch marks, acne scarring, and surgical scars.

This innovative laser technology penetrates deep within the skin to repair damaged tissue, tighten lax skin, and restore a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion.

What is Co2 Fractional Laser?

CO, (Carbon Dioxide) laser is a precise dermatological technology used for skin resurfacing and regeneration.

The laser emits a 10,600 nm wavelength of light energy, absorbed by water molecules within the skin. Since skin contains a large amount of water, the laser:

Removes damaged skin cells
Stimulates deeper skin layers
Encourages natural healing
Promotes collagen and elastin production

These are key elements for firm, smooth, and youthful skin.

How Does Co2 Fractional Laser Work?

Co2 laser uses fractional laser technology, creating thousands of microscopic treatment channels while leaving surrounding tissue intact.

The process works in three stages:

Micro-Thermal Stimulation

Controlled micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing response.

Collagen Stimulation

New collagen and elastin fibres are produced to repair and strengthen the skin.

Skin Renewal

Old, damaged skin cells are replaced with fresh, healthy skin, improving tone, texture, and firmness.
