Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing

A fractional CO2 laser that resurfaces the skin in microscopic columns to improve texture, fine lines, scarring and tone, treating a fraction of the surface at a time so the surrounding skin speeds recovery. It can be focused on the face, neck or décolletage, used together as a package, or applied to individual skin lesions. Because results build over time, the device is well suited to deeper textural concerns.

The fractional CO2 laser delivers its energy into the skin in a grid of microscopic treatment columns, leaving the tissue between them intact. This fractional approach is associated with a strong collagen-remodelling response that can smooth texture, soften fine lines, improve the appearance of scarring and even out tone, while the untreated bridges of skin between columns support faster recovery than older fully ablative resurfacing. At Medycyna Estetyczna Legnica the skin is cleansed and numbed before treatment, which takes around thirty to forty-five minutes for the face. Afterwards the skin feels warm and looks flushed, with mild swelling and a sandpaper-like texture for a few days as it renews; diligent moisturising and sun protection support healing. Because collagen remodelling is gradual, improvements continue for weeks to months and a treatment may be repeated according to your skin's needs. The laser can be tailored to the face, neck and décolletage individually or as a combined package, and is also used to remove individual skin lesions, with scars and stretch marks assessed and quoted on a case-by-case basis. Strict daily SPF is essential during and after treatment. It is not suitable over active infection or for certain skin conditions and is avoided in pregnancy; your physician confirms suitability and the right settings for your skin beforehand.
