Skin Resurfacing
The Fractional CO2 laser is one of the most recent and exciting advances in laser technology. Introduced in 2007, this powerful laser allows Dr. Chiu to treat deep lines and wrinkles, treat acne scars and pigmentation, and tighten and rejuvenate the skin in just one treatment. It literally “turns back the clock” by 5-10 years! The amazing thing is that there is much less downtime and risk compared to traditional ablative CO2 laser resurfacing.
Benefits of Fractional CO2:
+ Immediate skin tightening
+ Reduces fine lines
+ Improves deep wrinkles and folds
+ Erases brown discoloration
+ Reduces acne scars
+ Improves skin tone and texture
+ Stimulates new collagen and plumps the skin
+ Reduces sun damage
+ Restores the skin to a healthy, natural, youthful-looking state
How It Works
Fractional laser treatment is one of the hottest new aesthetic trends offering excellent results with minimal downtime. Fractional lasers target the skin in thousands of deep microscopic treatment zones, leaving surrounding areas of normal skin untouched. This allows for more rapid skin healing and recovery with less potential risk. The Fractional CO2 laser utilizes a wavelength that penetrates much more deeply into the skin than non-ablative fractional lasers like the Palomar LUX 1540 or Fraxel, making it even more effective at treating deep lines and “wrinkles. Traditional CO2 resurfacing lasers set the gold standard for skin resurfacing, but work by completely ablating the surface of the skin, leading to increased downtime and potential risk. Compared to the traditional CO2 laser, the safety and versatility of the Fractional CO2 affords Dr. Chiu tremendous ability to customize the ideal laser treatment for your specific needs.
