Whether you're looking to reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, scars and pigmentation. CO2 laser therapy offers powerful results with long-lasting benefits.

What is CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment?CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Fractional Laser is a non-surgical skin resurfacing procedure that uses a specialized laser to remove layers of damaged skin with precision. The term “fractional” refers to the way the laser targets the skin in a pixelated pattern, creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This speeds up healing time and minimizes discomfort, making the procedure safer and more efficient than traditional ablative lasers. 2-3 Treatments of co2 fractional can provide the same results as a fully occlusive co2 treatment, without the 6-10 weeks downtime. Also co2 fractional lasers greatly reduced risks associated with co2 laser fully occlusive treatments.

Pre Treatment Preperation

To prepare for your CO2 laser treatment in the week leading up to your appointment, here's a breakdown of essential steps:

1. Skincare Adjustments:

• Stop Exfoliating Products: Cease using any products containing retinol, retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or other exfoliating agents at least one week before your treatment. These can increase skin sensitivity.
• Gentle Skincare: Switch to a very gentle cleanser and a basic, non-irritating moisturizer to avoid any pre-treatment irritation. Avoid oily or heavy creams on the day of your treatment.

2. Sun Protection:

• Minimize Sun Exposure: Strictly avoid sun tanning and prolonged sun exposure for at least 2-4 weeks before your treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin significantly increases the risk of complications like hyperpigmentation.
• Daily Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days.

3. Medications and Supplements:

• Inform Your Practitioner: Disclose your complete medical history, including any medications, supplements, and allergies, to your practitioner.
• Avoid Blood Thinners: Stop taking medications and supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen, and high doses of vitamin E, unless specifically advised otherwise by your doctor.
• Antiviral Medication: If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication to start the day before your treatment and continue for a few days afterward to prevent an outbreak.

4. Avoid Irritating Activities:

• No Waxing, Plucking, or Electrolysis: If the treatment area involves hair, avoid these hair removal methods for at least 2-4 weeks before. Shaving is usually permitted and may even be recommended the day before for certain treatments.
• Avoid Tanning Beds and Self-Tanners: These should be avoided for at least 2-4 weeks prior.
• No Harsh Treatments: Avoid other facial treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion in the week leading up to your CO2 laser.

5. General Health:

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Well-hydrated skin can respond better to the treatment.
• Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Limit or avoid these in the 24 hours before your procedure as they can dehydrate the skin.
• No Smoking: If you smoke, it's highly recommended to stop at least 2 weeks before and after treatment, as smoking can significantly impair healing.

6. Practical Preparations:

• Arrange Transportation: Plan for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as you may experience some redness, swelling, or discomfort.
• Prepare Your Recovery Area: Stock up on gentle, fragrance-free skincare products like a mild cleanser (e.g., Cetaphil), a healing ointment (e.g., Aquaphor, Vaseline), and a non-greasy moisturizer (e.g., CeraVe). Have cold packs ready to help with potential swelling.
• Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment to minimize irritation to the treated area.
• No Makeup or Products: Arrive with clean, bare skin. Do not apply any makeup, lotions, deodorants, or other products to the treatment area on the day of your procedure.

7. Follow Specific Instructions:

• Your practitioner will provide you with detailed pre-treatment instructions tailored to your specific skin type and the type of CO2 laser treatment you are receiving. It is crucial to follow these instructions carefully.

By diligently following these guidelines, you can help ensure your skin is in the best possible condition for your CO2 laser treatment, minimize the risk of complications, and promote optimal healing and results. Don't hesitate to reach out to your practitioner if you have any questions during your preparation.

Body CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment

Targeted Rejuvenation for Stretch Marks, Loose Skin, and More CO2 Fractional Laser technology isn’t just for the face—it's an incredibly effective solution for treating body skin concerns such as stretch marks, loose skin (like bingo wings), and stomach tightening after weight loss or pregnancy. This advanced treatment works by stimulating deep collagen remodeling and resurfacing the skin for visible, long-term improvement.

What is CO2 Fractional Laser for the Body?CO2 fractional lasers use controlled microbeams of energy to create tiny columns of thermal damage in the skin. This fractional pattern allows for deeper penetration with faster healing times, as untreated skin between the microchannels aids in repair. On the body, this helps:

Tighten lax skin

Smooth out the texture of stretch marks

Improve tone and firmness in areas like the upper arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks

Enhance elasticity and stimulate natural collagen regeneration

‍

Perfect for Common Problem Areas

Stretch Marks (Striae)Whether caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or puberty, stretch marks occur when the skin stretches rapidly, tearing collagen and elastin fibers. CO2 laser treatments can:

Improve texture and color

Stimulate new collagen and elastin

Smooth and tighten the affected area

Work on both red (new) and white (older) stretch marks

Most common treatment zones:

Abdomen

Hips

Thighs

Buttocks

Breasts

Bingo Wings (Loose Upper Arms )As we age or lose weight, the skin around the upper arms can lose firmness. CO2 fractional laser can:

Tighten and firm mild to moderate skin laxity

Improve skin tone and reduce crepiness

Stimulate long-term collagen rebuilding

Can be combined with radiofrequency or skin tightening treatments for enhanced results.

Loose Skin on the Stomach

Ideal for post-baby tummies or after weight loss, CO2 laser:

Firms and tones sagging abdominal skin

Helps fade stretch marks or post-surgical scarring (e.g., C-section scars)

Improves overall skin quality

Note: This is best for mild to moderate skin laxity. Severe loose skin may require surgical options.

‍

Treatment Process

Duration: Depending on the area, sessions last from 30 to 90 minutes.

Sensation: A topical numbing cream is used; you may feel heat and a prickling sensation during the procedure.

Downtime: Body areas often have a slightly longer recovery than the face—expect 7–14 days of healing depending on the intensity.

Peeling/Redness: The treated area may appear red, feel warm, and begin peeling within a few days. Redness may last longer on body areas than on the face.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

While some improvement may be visible after just one session, a course of 3–5 treatments, spaced about 6-8 weeks apart, is usually recommended for optimal, long-lasting results—especially for deeper stretch marks or more significant skin laxity.

‍

Benefits of CO2 Laser for the Body

Non-surgical and minimally invasive

Stimulates collagen and elastin naturally

Improves tone, texture, and firmness

Safe and effective for most skin types (skin tone will be assessed before treatment)

Boosts confidence by improving the appearance of common trouble zones

Aftercare for Body Treatments

Keep the area clean and well-moisturized

Avoid tight clothing that might irritate the area

Stay out of the sun and apply SPF daily

Avoid exercise, saunas, or swimming for at least 7 days

Let any peeling or flaking skin fall off naturally—do not pick

Scar Removal with CO2 Fractional Laser

Smooth, Restore, and Renew Your Skin

Scars can be a constant reminder of past injuries, surgeries, acne, or skin trauma. If you're looking for a safe, effective way to reduce the appearance of scars and improve your skin’s texture and tone, CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment offers one of the most advanced non-surgical options available today.

How Does CO2 Laser Work for Scar Removal?

CO2 fractional laser technology uses precisely targeted beams of light to penetrate the skin and create microthermal zones of injury. These tiny “controlled wounds” stimulate your body’s natural healing process, promoting:

Collagen and elastin production

New, healthy skin cell turnover

Gradual softening and blending of scar tissue

The fractional approach treats only a portion of the skin at a time, leaving healthy tissue between the treated zones to support faster healing and less downtime.

Flattened scar tissue

‍

Types of Scars It Can Treat

CO2 laser is highly effective for reducing the appearance of various scar types, including:

Acne Scars – Boxcar, ice pick, and rolling scars

Surgical Scars – Including C-section scars, joint surgery, and cosmetic surgery incisions

Trauma Scars – From cuts, injuries, or burns

Stretch Marks (technically a type of scar from dermal tearing)

Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars – CO2 can help flatten and smooth raised scar tissue, though results may vary

What Results Can You Expect

Reduction in depth and discoloration of scar

Smoother skin texture and tone

Improved blending with surrounding skin

Increased skin confidence and less need to conceal scars with makeup or clothing

While CO2 lasers cannot erase scars completely, they can dramatically reduce their appearance and make them far less noticeable.

Treatment Process

1. Consultation: Your scar type, location, and severity are assessed, and a treatment plan is created.

2. Numbing Cream: A topical anesthetic is applied to reduce discomfort.

3. Laser Session: The laser is applied to the scar and surrounding skin. The process usually takes 15–45 minutes depending on the size and number of scars.

4. Recovery: Redness, peeling, and mild swelling are normal for 5–10 days longer in many cases depending on the severity of the skin issue. Deeper scars or more intense treatments may have longer recovery times.

How Many Treatments Will You Need?

Most people benefit from a series of 2 to 4 treatments, spaced 6–8 weeks apart, although minor scars may improve after just one session. Results continue to improve over the following 2–6 months as collagen rebuilds and the skin continues to regenerate.

Is It Safe for All Skin Types?

CO2 lasers are best suited for fair to medium skin tones due to the potential risk of hyperpigmentation in darker skin. However, with proper settings and preparation, it can still be an option for a wider range of clients. A thorough consultation is essential to assess skin suitability and pre-treatment preparation.

Aftercare Tips for Scar Treatment

Keep the treated area clean and moisturized

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as a warm or prickling feeling. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Some mild heat or tightness may be felt afterward, similar to a sunburn.

2. How long does it take to see results?

You may notice improvements in skin texture and tone within 1–2 weeks after your treatment. However, full results develop gradually over the next 2–3 months as collagen production increases.

3. How much downtime should I expect?

Downtime can vary depending on the intensity of the treatment. Most patients experience 5–10 days of redness, peeling, and swelling. You’ll be given specific aftercare instructions to speed up healing and reduce irritation

4. How many sessions will I need?

Some clients see excellent results with just one session, especially for mild to moderate concerns. For deeper wrinkles, scarring, or more advanced skin issues, a series of 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended.

5. Is CO2 laser safe for all skin tones

CO2 lasers work best on lighter skin types due to the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin. However, with the right precautions and settings, treatment can be customized. A consultation is essential to assess your suitability.

6. Can I wear makeup after the treatment?

You should avoid wearing makeup for at least 5–7 days, or until the skin has fully healed. Applying makeup too soon can increase the risk of irritation or infection. Once your skin is healed, mineral-based makeup is usually recommended.

7. How long do the results last?

Results can last several years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Protecting your skin from the sun and following a good maintenance plan can significantly extend your results.
