CO2 Fractional
How Does CO₂ Laser Work?

-
Wrinkles & Fine Lines: Smooths aging skin.
-
Acne Scars & Pigmentation: Reduces discoloration and scarring.
-
Skin Tightening: Improves firmness and elasticity.
⚠ Considerations for Darker Skin Tones
Darker skin tones have a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after CO₂ laser treatment. Healing can take longer, and proper aftercare is crucial to minimize side effects.
