What is Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical treatment that works to erase the top layer of skin (where damage is most evident), and also can be used to create tiny microchannels in the deeper dermal tissue to encourage faster cellular turnover and renewed collagen production.

Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a great treatment for people who want a comprehensive approach to anti-aging skincare, as it can treat a multitude of aging and sun damage symptoms.

The Langdon Center is pleased to offer several types of fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatments, including:

ActiveFX

This controlled superficial fractional CO2 laser peel is effective at reducing fine lines, uneven skin tone, and surface imperfections, and requires minimal post-treatment downtime. 

Enhanced ActiveFX

For clients looking for a more powerful laser resurfacing treatment, there’s Enhanced ActiveFX CO2 laser resurfacing. This treatment is typically done over the entire face except for the upper eyelids and the eyebrows. The main advantage of Enhanced ActiveFX is increased tightening of the skin, which results in greater reduction of facial wrinkles.The Enhanced ActiveFX treatment is an excellent choice for smoothing the majority of facial wrinkles, fine lines, and creases.

DeepFX

This advanced fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment penetrates deeper into the skin to improve even deep wrinkles and more severe acne scars.  Results can be seen even after a single treatment, making this an ideal procedure for clients who want powerful results in less time.  Final results from this procedure can be seen in three to four months.

TotalFX

Both ActiveFX and DeepFX are combined to provide superficial and deep fractional treatment, reducing acne scars, improving skin texture and tone, and reducing both fine lines and deeper wrinkles.

Am I a Good Candidate for Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

You’re a good candidate for fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing if you want to treat signs of sun damage, including hyperpigmentation, premature wrinkles, and even slight skin sagging. Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing is also effective  for deeper acne scars.

Finally, you may see excellent results from fractional CO2 laser resurfacing treatments if you have moderate signs of aging, including wrinkles and fine lines.

I was really satisfied with the laser resurfacing. I am almost 85 and people say I look at least 10 years younger. Dr. Langdon is wonderful and all his recommendations have been right on. I had lipo on my arms and they look great. I truly had a great experience at the Langdon center…MG
