Fractional CO2 Laser

Utilizing advanced carbon dioxide laser technology, the Fractional CO2 Laser delivers precise microscopic laser spots to the skin. These spots create tiny wounds in the deeper layers, initiating a natural healing process. This process boosts collagen and elastin production, key to maintaining youthful, elastic skin, and is particularly effective in treating wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, uneven colouring, stretch marks and various types of scars, including acne and surgical scars. The laser treatment is also renowned for its skin tightening and skin rejuvenation benefits, promoting smoother and firmer skin.

CoolPeel CO2 is preferable if you’re looking for a milder treatment with quicker recovery and are addressing more surface-level skin concerns. You will need 3-4 treatments.

After a full-face Fractional CO2 Laser treatment, patients typically experience significant swelling and redness, akin to a severe sunburn. For full-face and eyelid treatments, you’ll need to arrange transportation home, as it’s not safe to drive afterward. If only the body or parts of the face are treated, you may be fine to travel on your own. Pain relief such as Panadol might be needed, and several days of rest at home are advised for recovery. Patients are also scheduled for a complimentary follow-up visit a week later to monitor the healing process.

After recovering from a Fractional CO2 Laser treatment, your skin should appear visibly rejuvenated. You’ll notice a smoother texture and more even skin tone, as the laser helps reduce the appearance of pores and other skin imperfections. Wrinkles and fine lines typically diminish, and in cases of scarring, such as from acne or surgical scars, you may see a significant improvement. The overall result is often a fresher, more youthful look, with enhanced skin clarity and firmness. It’s important to remember that individual results can vary, and maintaining a good skincare routine post-treatment is crucial for long-lasting results.
