Restore and Rejuvenate Your Skin Through Fractional Co2 Laser Treatment.

Over the years, signs of aging inevitably make their appearance due to natural aging, gravity, and environmental factors such as sun exposure (photoaging). As a result, the texture, tone, and pigmentation of your skin can become uneven, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, sunspots, and larger pores.  These signs of premature aging can impact how you feel about your appearance and how others perceive you.

Fractional Ablative CO2 Laser is an advanced technology used for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. This cutting-edge treatment provides impressive results for a wide range of skin concerns, from wrinkles and fine lines to scars and skin texture irregularities. Whether you’re seeking to restore youthful vitality to your skin or address specific aesthetic concerns, the CO2 laser delivers transformative results with precision.

 What is Fractional Ablative CO2 Laser?

The Fractional Ablative CO2 Laser is a powerful, skin-resurfacing treatment that uses laser energy to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are crucial for maintaining youthful, firm, and smooth skin.

Unlike traditional ablative lasers that treat the entire surface of the skin, fractional CO2 technology targets only a fraction of the skin at a time. This means the laser creates a grid-like pattern, leaving healthy, untreated skin in between the treated areas. This approach reduces downtime while maximizing the skin’s regenerative response.

Key Benefits of Fractional Ablative CO2 Laser

• Reduction of Wrinkles and Fine Lines: The treatment effectively smooths out fine lines and wrinkles by tightening the skin and promoting collagen production.
• Scar Reduction: Whether from acne, surgery, or injury, the CO2 laser can significantly reduce the appearance of scars, making skin smoother and more even.
• Improved Skin Texture and Tone: It helps even out skin texture and tone by removing damaged skin layers and encouraging the formation of new, healthy skin.
• Sun Damage and Pigmentation: CO2 laser can effectively treat sunspots, age spots, and other pigmentation issues, leaving your complexion brighter and more radiant.
• Tighter, Firmer Skin: By stimulating deep collagen production, the CO2 laser can tighten sagging skin for a more youthful appearance.

How Does Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment Work?

The Fractional CO2 laser uses advanced laser technology to deliver tiny pulses of light energy to the skin, creating microscopic channels of thermocoagulation. These small, controlled injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin. As the skin heals, old, damaged skin cells are replaced with fresh, healthy ones, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

For concerns like fine lines and wrinkles, the laser’s energy penetrates deep into the skin’s sub-layers, targeting the supportive structures that have weakened over time. As the body works to rebuild these structures, the skin’s texture becomes more even, wrinkles are reduced, and a rejuvenated, more radiant appearance emerges.

This treatment not only addresses visible signs of aging but also promotes long-lasting improvements to your skin’s overall health and vitality.

What to Expect During and After the Procedure

The procedure begins with the application of a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. During the treatment, the laser creates micro-injuries in the skin, which may feel like a tingling or warmth. The session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

After the procedure, you may experience redness, swelling, and peeling similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal part of the healing process, and your skin will begin to regenerate over the following days. Downtime can vary from 5 to 7 days, during which you’ll see progressive improvement in skin texture and tone.

Long-Lasting Results

As your skin heals and new collagen forms, you’ll notice improvements in texture, tone, and firmness. Results continue to improve for several months after treatment, and many patients enjoy rejuvenated skin for up to several years. With proper skincare and sun protection, the results of a CO2 laser treatment can be long-lasting.                                    

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

For most patients, one to three treatments are typically recommended to achieve optimal results. The choice depends on the level of skin rejuvenation you’re looking for and how much time you can allow for recovery:

• One Treatment for Dramatic Results: If you’re seeking significant improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture, one more intensive session may be all you need. However, this may come with a slightly longer downtime.
• Multiple Treatments for Gradual Improvement: If you prefer to minimize downtime, you can opt for a series of two to three treatments spaced a few weeks apart. This approach allows for more gradual improvement, with less time needed for recovery after each session.

During your consultation at Aesthetics and Medical Lasers of Colorado, we will carefully evaluate your skin and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine the best course of treatment tailored specifically for you.

What is the Cost of CO2 Laser Treatments?

The cost of CO2 laser treatments can vary based on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions you choose. On average, the price per session ranges from $800 to $3,500, depending on factors such as:

• The area being treated (e.g., full face, neck, hands)
• The depth of the treatment (superficial vs. deeper skin resurfacing)
• Whether you are undergoing one intensive session or multiple treatments for gradual results

We offer customized treatment plans and will discuss all pricing options with you during your consultation. This ensures you receive the most effective treatment based on your budget and aesthetic needs.
