HOW DOES IS WORK?
CO₂ fractional laser is one of the most effective treatments for improving the look and feel of scars, whether from acne, surgery, or injury. It works by delivering thousands of microscopic beams of light into the skin. These beams create tiny, controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing process.
The discomfort level of treating scars is generally mild and will vary depending on the area being treated. During your CO₂ fractional laser session, most clients describe the feeling as a series of quick, warm “snaps” or tingles against the skin. You may feel gentle warmth or a mild stinging sensation in the treated area, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours.
After the session, your skin will feel warm and slightly tight for a day or two. Redness and mild swelling are normal and part of the healing process, and these fade over the following days as your skin begins to renew itself.
Treatment time will depend on the area being treated. A treatment can last anywhere between 15min – 1.5HR
The number of treatments will vary depending on the concern being addressed and its severity. We typically recommend starting with a series of three sessions. For the best, long-lasting results, multiple treatments combined with consistent at-home care are essential.
Typically, clients resume their daily activities right after. Depending on the area being treated, client may experience some redness, similar to a sunburn and will begin to flake a few days after the treatment.
