What is Fractional CO2 Laser?

 

Fractional CO2 Laser is a non-invasive & non-surgical acne scar laser. It is most effective for depressed atrophic acne scars and uneven skin tone. Other than those pestering acne scars, CO2 Laser is also effective to treat:

> Wrinkles & Enlarged Pores

> Uneven texture & Sagging Skin

> Promote new collagen to rejuvenate skin

> Wart removal & Skin tag Removal

>  Mole and Spots Removal

CO2 laser has minimal downtime and produce noticeable results after 1 or 2 treatments. Each procedure involves treating only targeted skin’s surface, leaving untouched skin to aid in the regeneration process.

 

Effective acne scars treatment.


 How does Fractional CO2 Laser work?

Fractional CO2 laser emits a zone of tiny micro thermal beams on the treated areas. Thousands of beams will penetrate into the skin creating microscopic thermal injury zones while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.

The microscopic injury will stimulate collagen production allowing the skin to start repairing. The new collagen forms new skin cells to repair damaged skin. Concurrently, the skin will experience more elasticity & suppleness for younger looking skin.

Both targeted areas and surrounding healthy tissue will experience collagen production, allowing overall skin rejuvenation. This acne scar treatment has lesser downtime and side effects compared to fully ablative lasers.

Fractional CO2 Laser Reviews

 

As we age, the collagen production will slow down, causing fine line, wrinkles and acne scars. Fractional CO2 laser stimulates our body’s natural repair process to rebuild lost collagen in skin.

Fractionalized micro beams will create tiny openings on your skin and reach deep into the dermis to disrupt the fibrous tissue. These small areas of untreated skin promote a rapid recovery with less risk of complications.

The small areas treated by fractional micro beams, micro thermal treatment zones (MTZ) create sufficient laser injury to promote new collagen production and achieve facial skin rejuvenation.

Fractional CO2 Laser Reviews?


Is Fractional CO2 Laser the best for acne scars?

When it comes to acne scars, there is no one size fit all solution. All acne scars are different and different treatments can yield different results. As such, in Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic, Dr. Vijay prefers to use a combination of methods for a customised approach. Other considerations for acne scars treatment includes:

>Types of treatments (CO2 Laser, Microneedling RF, Subcision & Fillers)

>Severity of the scars (Deeper scars require more treatments)

>Experience of Doctor (Skills of Doctor can yield different results)

>Reputation of Clinic (Reviews from customers on treatments)

Fractional CO2 Laser is very effective for atrophic scars. It is the most common acne scar treatment in the market simply because it shows results. However for deeper scars, Subcision will be more effective than CO2 laser.

Fractional CO2 Laser Side Effects

Because the CO2 laser process heats the skin, patients may experience some redness or swelling in the treated region. Some may even develop sores and scabs.

Although rare, side effects such as Erythema (Redness), Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and infection may occur.

However if you follow our post care tips from the doctors, the chances of rare side effects are very low.

CO2 Fractional Laser Before and After

Unfortunately CO2 fractional laser before and after cannot be publicly displayed due to MOH regulations.

After the laser treatment, there will be some redness on the face and little scabs will appear where the Micro Ablative Columns were formed. Results are not immediate as it takes time for new collagen to be produced.

Difference between CO2 Laser & other acne scars treatment


CO2 Laser – Identify the scars

In order to decide the best treatment for acne scar, it is important to differentiate the types of scars. Simply, acne scars are categorised into two types:

  • Atrophic Scars (Due to lack of collagen) – Rolling, Boxcar & Icepick scars
  • Hypertrophic Scars (Net gain of Collagen) – Keloids 

Over 90% of acne scars are atrophic acne scars. It can appear flat or sunken on the skin, appearing like a hole on the skin. Fractional CO2 laser is a very effective treatment for all atrophic scars, however treatments such as subcision will yield a slightly better results for Shallow rolling scars. It is important to let the doctor determine the type of scars in order to provide a customised treatments.

Fractional CO2 Laser Downtime

After the treatment, there will be slight redness over the period of 5 – 7 days. When the skin is completely healed, you can expect a brighter and improved skin tone. Over the period of the next few month, the skin will continually produce collagen to improve scars & wrinkles. The end result would have an overall tightening effect.

After Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment

It normally takes 1 to 2 weeks for your skin to recover after a CO2 laser treatment. During this period, your skin will be extremely sensitive. To aid in the healing and prevention of infection, follow the steps outlined below.

The only cons for fractional CO2 laser is the downtime after the treatment. The severity of acne scars will determine the aggressiveness of the laser which also affects the down time period. The usual skin healing will take approximately 7 – 14 days.

The pain level (2/5) is tolerable through the use of topical anaesthesia.

During the downtime period, you may experience redness, crusting, dryness & peeling in the affected areas, similar to being sun burnt. Other potential side effects may include but are not limited to: skin wound, infection and scarring, hypo and hyper-pigmentation. Our doctor will explain the possible side effects and risks during consultation.

Make up can be applied when fine pinpoint micro-crusting develops on the treated area after the second day. Most patients are able to return to routine activities on the third day. Most importantly, avoid direct and prolonged exposure to sun light for approximately 2 weeks or more.

Our doctor will consult you on the optimum number of treatment sessions but depending on your skin, treatments are generally about 21 to 28 days apart apart and come up to a total of 4-5 treatments (subjected to individual’s condition).

After each session, your skin should progressively feel firmer and tighter.

Although you can see visible results from the first session, optimal improvement is usually viable in about 2 to 3 months as collagen remodelling and skin tightening continues. The longevity of results, as always, dependent on future ageing, the effect of gravity and sun exposure.

Furthermore, a healthy skincare routine consisting of facials and products will help you to maintain your glowing complexion as well.

Large pores tend to appear on oily skin as the sebum and dirt collect, causing your skin to swell and pores to appear larger than usual. Individuals who tend to have oily skin often have large pores as well. Aging is another factor that causes large pores as the skin loses its elasticity, which may cause pores to look bigger.

The sun may also cause large pores to form as the skin thickens, resulting in additional skin cells forming around the edges of the pores which stretch them out. Laser energy micro beams are used to break down the tissue of the epidermis, after which new, healthy skin grows over the treatment area.

Similar to using deep chemical peels or ablative lasers, this new technology replicates the results without the discomfort or downtime caused by regular methods.

As your skin heals naturally, the new layer will appear glowing and much more radiant, leaving you feeling and looking younger. Make-up can be used immediately after the procedure and no visible wounds are left on your skin.

The main difference between Fractional Laser and traditional ablative laser is in the mode of delivery. Traditional ablative laser function with a moving beam which directly ablates the skin’s surface. The technology of Fractional CO2 laser  uses a grid system by delivering micro grid beams allowing the outer skin to be largely intact.

These small areas of untreated skin promote a much more rapid recovery and healing with less risk of complications. The small areas treated by the fractional micro beams will be less sensitive to sun damage promoting new collagen production and achieve facial skin rejuvenation.
