A fractional CO2 laser treatment is considered ‘the gold standard’ of all laser treatments. It uses a carbon dioxide gas to emit laser light that can treat the skin. Fractional CO2 effectively restores and rejuvenates the skin, including fine lines, pores and textural improvements.

Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment areas

Nearly all areas of the face and body can be treated with this laser. It’s most helpful for:

  • Scars (including Keloid)
  • Acne
  • Glandular Swellings – particularly of the nose
  • Xanthelasma

This laser can also treat lumps, bumps and moles on the skin.

Treatment process

The area to be treated is anaesthetised and thoroughly cleaned before treatment.
The laser treatment is applied along with cool air to the area to improve comfort. The entire treatment takes between 10-15 minutes.

Results & treatment longevity

After the treatment, the skin may appear red, like mild sunburn. 2 to 3 days following treatment, you may notice some skin flaking in the treated area. Once this process settles in the week after treatment, you will see results.
For optimal results, it’s recommended you have 2 or 3 initial treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart.

The results are usually visible for up to 18 months when maintenance treatment can be administered. Talk to Dr Sam and the team at Samara Aesthetics to be fully informed on your procedure.

How Fractional CO2 Laser works

The fractionated laser causes microscopic areas of thermal damage, penetrating the top layer of the skin. This stimulates collagen production, and the treated area of damaged skin is replaced by new cells.

Complications

At Samara Aesthetics, CO2 lasers are only administered by highly skilled and trained doctors; therefore, there are few complications. There is a minimal chance of burns or scarring if not administered by a trained professional. Feel free to discuss any concerns with Dr Sam at your consultation.
