Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Most patients experience significant improvement in the appearance of skin imperfections, including smoother skin, reduced sunspots, and diminished acne scars. The collagen remodeling triggered by fractional CO2 laser treatments also helps tighten loose skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is an advanced treatment available in select Dermapure clinics in Edmonton. It is used to address deeper skin concerns such as acne scarring, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation. This technology uses targeted CO2 laser energy to remove damaged layers of skin and stimulate natural collagen production for progressive renewal.
The laser works by creating microscopic columns of thermal energy within the skin, triggering a controlled healing response. As the skin repairs itself, new collagen forms and the texture, tone and firmness of the skin gradually improve. This treatment is generally more intensive than other non-invasive laser options and may require a longer recovery period.
Because of its depth of action, fractional CO2 laser is particularly suited for individuals with more pronounced skin concerns. A personalized assessment is important to determine whether this treatment is the right fit. For some patients, adding exosome therapy to the post-treatment plan may help support healing and optimize skin regeneration during recovery.
During your consultation, one of our experienced providers will assess your skin type, medical history, and skin concerns to develop a tailored treatment plan. This ensures that your fractional CO2 laser treatment is both effective and safe.
The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. While some numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort, patients may feel mild heat or tingling during the treatment. A cooling device or ice pack may be used to further enhance comfort.
CO2 Laser is a deep acting treatment that will require some recovery time while your skin heals. Patients usually report a mild sunburn-like sensation immediately following treatment. Within 2-5 days, your skin will begin peeling, revealing new skin underneath. Most patients report full recovery taking 7-10 days with the potential for mild redness. It’s essential to follow aftercare instructions, including the use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, to protect your skin and promote healing.
Treatment prices vary based on your individual needs and the specific procedure performed. To learn more about pricing, we invite you to contact your clinic or schedule a consultation with our experts.
Post-treatment results begin to appear as your skin heals, with significant improvements in texture and tone within 2-4 weeks. The full effects of the fractional CO2 laser resurfacing treatment will be visible after several months, as collagen production continues. To maintain results, regular follow-up treatments are recommended. Your provider will guide you on a maintenance schedule suited to your skin type and goals.
Active Infections: If you have an active infection, such as cold sores or bacterial infections, the treatment may need to be postponed. Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid this treatment. Certain Medical Conditions: Individuals with autoimmune diseases or a history of keloid scarring should consult with their healthcare provider before proceeding.
