This advanced skin resurfacing treatment uses a carbon dioxide laser to create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. These micro-channels trigger your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to repair and renew the skin. Only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, hence the term “fractional”, which allows for faster healing compared to traditional fully ablative lasers. Skin Expert Kate uses this treatment to improve wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven texture, and skin laxity. Downtime for this treatment typically takes 7-10 days and includes redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and eventual peeling.
