What is Fractional CO2 Laser treatment?
Fractional CO2 laser is one of the most loved lasers by dermatologists worldwide as it treats many skin issues effectively.
Fractional CO2 laser treatment is particularly useful for Indian skin as fully ablative lasers have a high risk of post inflammatory pigmentation. The fractional laser as the name suggests targets only a fraction of the skin of the treated area in a pixelated manner allowing faster recovery with minimal risk of adverse effects.
This laser is used to give a controlled injury to the skin; the treated skin responds by generating more collagen and improved blood supply.
This helps in treating age related skin concerns like fine lines, open pores and rough texture as well as all kinds of scars: acne scars, burn scars, post-traumatic scars, etc.

How does CO2 laser resurfacing work?
C02 laser resurfacing uses pulses of laser light. These beams penetrate the skin’s surface, where water in the skin cells absorbs them.
When this happens, the epidermis, or superficial layer of your skin, is vaporised. The dermis, or middle layer, heats up, stimulating the growth of new collagen fibres. As the area heals, new firmer, smoother skin replaces the old layers.
During CO2 laser resurfacing, a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist can target specific areas of your skin with precision, so the treatment won’t affect the rest of the skin nearby.
The procedure of Fractional CO2 Laser
What to expect on the day of your CO2 laser treatment is as follows:
- The duration of this outpatient operation varies from 30 minutes to 2 hours, contingent upon the nature of the problem and the skin region being treated.
2. Resurfacing with a CO2 laser does cause some pain. Your own pain threshold, the skill of the dermatologist or surgeon, and the depth and scope of the resurfacing will all affect how much pain you feel.
3. To minimise pain and promote relaxation, a mix of a local anaesthetic and sedative will be administered to you. You can be given general anaesthetic for a thorough resurfacing so you can sleep through the procedure.
