Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing is an advanced, non-invasive treatment offered in Toronto to help address common skin concerns such as uneven texture, sun damage, acne scars, and deeper wrinkles. This technology uses fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser energy to remove damaged skin cells while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface.
The procedure delivers microscopic columns of laser light into the skin, creating controlled thermal zones. These precise micro-injuries activate the skin’s natural healing response and promote new collagen formation, resulting in a smoother, firmer appearance over time. The laser energy targets both superficial and deeper layers of the skin, which makes it suitable for more advanced signs of aging and scarring.
At Dermapure, each CO2 resurfacing plan is developed according to the patient’s skin condition and phototype. While the technology is suitable for many skin types, customized protocols may be recommended—especially for individuals with darker skin tones—to ensure optimal safety and results. As part of the Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing family of treatments, it offers a refined and adaptable approach to skin renewal.
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.
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.
