How Does the Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment Work?

Fractional CO2 works by wounding or causing injury to the skin. Unlike traditional CO2 skin resurfacing that wounds 100 percent of the skin’s surface, Fractional CO2 only wounds up to 20 percent of the surface. It’s similar to aerating a lawn. The new collagen fibers and skin cells will grow into the existing skin cells, strengthening and smoothing the skin.
