In this article, we'll discuss the ways in which CO2 laser resurfacing is done, who is it best suited for, the results can be expected, and how it's compared to similar facial rejuvenation procedures.
What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
CO2 laser Resurfacing is an ablative laser treatment that is precise in removing skin's outer layers that are damaged to increase collagen production and stimulate healthy, new skin development. It utilizes a fractional CO2 laser, meaning it targets small skin areas in a grid-like manner, while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This speeds up recovery, and minimizes the amount of time it takes to recover.
The treatment is extremely efficient for a variety of concerns, including:
Sun-damaged skin
Deep wrinkles and fine lines
Acne scars
Uneven skin tone and texture
Larger pores
Scars caused by trauma or surgery
How Does Fractional CO2 Lasers Do Its Work?
The fractional CO2 laser emits controlled laser pulses that penetrate skin's surface. The small beams of light create microthermal zones, which stimulate the body's natural healing process. When your skin heals it replaces old, damaged cells with fresh, rejuvenated tissue. In addition, the treatment boosts collagen remodeling -- an important factor that results in the smoother and firmer appearance of your skin.
Contrary to conventional CO2 Lasers that treat the entire layer of skin, fractional technology treats only one "fraction" that is the face at a given time which significantly decreases the time to heal and risk.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing vs. Chemical Peels
Chemical peels may improve the appearance of skin problems but they lack the accuracy and depth of treatment CO2 laser offers, especially when it comes to deeper lines and scars.
