The “gold standard” of laser skin resurfacing

Fractional CO₂ laser vaporizes micro-columns of skin tissue, stimulating deep regeneration and collagen production. It is indicated for:

  • Deep facial, periocular, and perioral wrinkles
  • Severe acne scars
  • Actinic keratoses and superficial lesions
  • Moderate skin laxity
  • Post-surgical or post-traumatic scars

Downtime is longer compared to 1470 fractional laser, but results are profound and long-lasting.
