Fractionated Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing is a procedure that creates columns of
thermal damage that stimulate the production of new collagen and, thereby, induce skin
tightening.

How does Fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing work?

A fractionated CO2 laser works by partially removing the thin outer layer of skin (epidermis)
and heating the underlying skin (dermis). This stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers. As
the epidermis heals and regrows, the treated skin appears clearer, smoother and tighter. Sun
spots peel off and wrinkles get effaced over time. Fractionated CO2 technology allows for
deeper penetration of the laser into the skin, and hence, improved results in skin tightening and
wrinkle reduction.
