The fractional CO2 laser has gained much popularity in recent times because of its relatively shorter “downtime” and lesser discomfort when compared with traditional ablative laser resurfacing techniques.
The fractional laser beam creates thousands of tiny wounds with normal skin surrounding. Because this is done microscopically, the wound is not visible and the surrounding healthy skin enhances healing time.
The treatment area will be anesthetized with a topical numbing cream, but you may still feel a stinging or burning discomfort during and shortly after the treatment. Chilled air may also be used to increase comfort during the procedure.
