Fractional CO2 Laser: LASER SKIN RESURFACING TREATMENT FOR ACNE SCARS AND AGING SKIN.
With its versatility in treating various skin concerns, Fractional CO2 Laser is an effective laser resurfacing treatment that diminishes hyperpigmentation issues such as acne scars and sun spots, while also combating visible signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. Through the use of carbon dioxide (CO2), this laser treatment precisely resurfaces and revitalises the deeper layers of the skin — the dermal layer — for a comprehensive enhancement of skin texture and appearance.
"Fractional" refers to the laser’s precise targeting of a specific area of the skin, while ensuring the surrounding healthy skin remains unharmed. This unique approach accelerates skin healing and minimises downtime, distinguishing it from traditional ablative laser resurfacing. The targeted precision helps actively trigger the body’s natural healing mechanisms to effectively stimulate new collagen production for skin that is visibly smoother, firmer, and younger-looking.
Ultra-pulse CO2 laser: Increase the peak power of the laser output, can precisely control the width and repetition frequency of each pulse in a very short time, and try to avoid damage to surrounding tissues.
Fractional CO2 Laser System fires a laser beam which is split into numbers of microscopic beams, producing tiny dot or fractional treatment zones within the selected target area only. Therefore, the heat of laser only passes deeply through the fractional damaged area. This allows the skin to heal much faster than if the whole area was treated. During the skin self-resurfacing, a great amount of collagen is produced for skin rejuvenation, eventually the skin will look much healthier and younger.
The Fractional CO2 Laser energy pulses targets the skin’s deeper layers (dermal layer), stimulating new collagen production for an overall skin rejuvenation.
Fractional CO2 Laser works by delivering a concentrated beam of laser energy into the skin’s dermal layers to create tiny, evenly-controlled microscopic wounds. These targeted micro-injuries effectively eliminate damaged skin cells while triggering our body’s healing responses. This natural healing process triggers a boost in collagen production, which fosters the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Through its “fractional” approach, it focuses exclusively on the problem areas, hence minimising the downtime associated with traditional laser treatments.
Fractional CO2 Laser has become a highly regarded treatment option for an array of skin concerns. Primarily known for fading stubborn acne scars and sun spots, this treatment also delves deeper into the skin’s layers, providing additional benefits such as minimising enlarged pores and effectively combating visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and sagging skin.

Many of our patients who have undergone the Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment have feedback that is well-tolerable. The procedure is often described as a series of quick and mild sensation of heat or prickling. A numbing cream will also be applied to minimise any potential discomfort prior to the treatment.
Fractional CO2 Laser is an effective treatment that has been widely recognised for its ability to treat acne scars. By delivering precise laser energy into the skin’s deeper layers, it targets the scarred areas to encourage the formation of fresh collagen to improve the texture and appearance of acne scars, leaving the skin smoother.
Most skin types can benefit from our Fractional CO2 Laser treatment, particularly individuals with hyperpigmentation concerns like acne scars, sun spots, age spots, uneven skin tone, textural irregularities, and wrinkles. However, seeking professional advice is crucial to determine suitability.
Most individuals with mild skin concerns have noticed visible results after just one session. To achieve significant improvements, we advise adhering to the suggested treatment plan recommended by your specialist.
The downtime of Fractional CO2 Laser usually lasts around 5 to 7 days, but individual healing rates may vary. During this time, it’s essential to protect your skin from excessive sun exposure, and adhere to proper aftercare instructions.
Fractional CO2 laser is commonly used to treat acne scars, age spots, crow’s feet, enlarged oil glands, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sagging skin, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
