The professional fractional CO2 laser machine(co2 fractional laser) has been known to provide some of the most dramatic, age-defying results in the treatment of challenging skin imperfections including wrinkles, fine lines, photodamage, uneven skin tone, and skin laxity, as well as in scar treatment, skin tags, and benign tumors.

Using the power of the CO2 fractional laser, the optimal mix of non-ablative and thermal effects and applicators and treatment modes for highly tailored procedures, PrettyLasers’s Fractional CO2 laser PL-FC14 brings unparalleled precision and innovation to the field of dermatology and plastic surgery.

How Does Co2 Fractional Laser Therapy Machine Works?

The fractional CO2 laser machine helps reduce “age spots” (also called sun freckles, liver spots, and lentigines), fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, uneven coloration, skin laxity, textural irregularities, dull tone, and a thinned collagen layer of the face, neck, and chest. 10600nm fractional co2 laser is one of the best treatments if you wish to get the most results with one treatment.  If you have the ability to take some time to heal, having this one treatment is like having multiple other non-invasive treatments at once.  It is also the best single treatment for advanced skin damage and wrinkling.

CO2 laser is an in-office procedure that requires pre and post-treatment medications to ensure proper healing and comfort during the procedure. Discomfort varies on the depth of the treatment. For your comfort during the treatment, we may apply a topical anesthetic or inject local anesthetic and/or tumescent anesthetic and prescribe sedative medications to reduce discomfort. After the treatment, most patients describe the post-procedure feeling as a bad sunburn for about 12 hours to 2 days. Please also follow the instructions for all other prescribed pain medication needed post-treatment. We also recommend pain or relaxation medications prior to treatment therefore you will need to have somebody drive you home after treatment.

Typically one laser treatment by a professional CO2 laser machine is recommended. Occasionally, in an area that cannot be treated aggressively, we may need to do more than one treatment to optimize results.   Maintenance treatments may also be necessary to maintain results, especially if sun is not avoided or proper skin care is used. Occasionally, even with the best care, another treatment may be necessary in a few years (in the area around the eyes, it may only be 1-2 years).
