How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
Fractional CO2 Laser
The fractional CO2 laser uses thousands of light beams to penetrate deep into the skin, damaging and causing the upper layer of skin (the dermis) to flake off while stimulating collagen production. The result is smoother, more evenly toned, beautiful skin. Fractional CO2 lasers can lessen the appearance of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles throughout the face
- Acne scars
- Age spots
- Pigment irregularities
Fraxel® Erbium Laser
Much like the fractional CO2 laser, the Fraxel® erbium laser also stimulates collagen production; however, it doesn’t go as deep and is not as invasive as the CO2. Fraxel® is also the laser of choice for darker skin tones. This treatment offers a faster recovery time accompanied by beautiful results. The Fraxel® erbium laser can treat:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Surgical scars
- Pigment irregularities
- Enlarged pores
How Do Results Hold Up?
As all of the above lasers stimulate the production of collagen, you will continue to notice an improved quality, texture, and appearance of your skin. Laser skin resurfacing requires little downtime with minor redness and can leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
