What is Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Are you looking for a skincare treatment that can tackle both signs of aging and sun damage at the same time?

Then it’s time to introduce yourself to fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing.

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.
