Fractional CO2 Laser
Precision resurfacing for transformative results
Overview
The Fractional CO2 laser is one of the most powerful resurfacing technologies available in aesthetic dermatology. It uses a gas-based infrared laser to precisely target unwanted skin irregularities — including wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and sun damage — while stimulating robust collagen regeneration for long-lasting improvement.
How It Works
The CO2 laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing. This fractional approach delivers the dramatic results of traditional ablative resurfacing with significantly less downtime. The laser energy vaporizes damaged tissue and heats the dermis to stimulate new collagen formation.
Am I a Candidate?
Ideal for patients with moderate to severe wrinkles, significant sun damage, acne scars, or surgical scars who are willing to undergo a short recovery period for more dramatic results. A consultation with Dr. Kassir is required to assess skin type and determine candidacy.
What to Expect
Recovery typically involves 5–7 days of redness and peeling. Most patients see significant improvement after a single treatment, with continued improvement over 3–6 months as new collagen forms. Sunscreen and sun avoidance are essential during recovery.
