Acne may resolve, but the scars it leaves behind can remain for years. Deep scars, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and rough skin often result from damage to the deeper layers of the skin.
CO₂ Fractional Laser is a skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve acne scars by stimulating collagen production and encouraging the skin to heal naturally over time.
Why Do Acne Scars Happen?
When acne becomes inflamed, it damages the deeper layers of the skin. During healing, uneven collagen production can lead to visible scarring.
- Depressed or pitted scars
- Uneven skin texture
- Dark marks
- Enlarged pores
What Is a CO₂ Fractional Laser?
CO₂ fractional laser is a skin resurfacing procedure that creates tiny micro-columns in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process while leaving surrounding skin intact, allowing faster recovery.
How Does CO₂ Fractional Laser Improve Acne Scars?
- Stimulates new collagen production
- Smooths uneven skin texture
- Reduces scar depth
- Improves overall skin clarity
As collagen rebuilds over weeks and months, the skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, and more even.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Skin cleansing and preparation
- Application of numbing cream
- Laser treatment on targeted areas
- Post-treatment care guidance
Is CO₂ Fractional Laser Painful?
With numbing cream, most people tolerate the treatment well. Mild warmth or prickling may be felt. Redness and swelling after treatment are normal and part of the healing process.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions depends on scar depth, skin type, and treatment goals. Some improvement may be visible after one session, while deeper scars may require multiple treatments.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Avoid direct sun exposure
- Use sunscreen regularly
- Follow prescribed skincare routine
- Avoid harsh products during healing
