CO2 Fractional Laser

How CO₂ Fractional Laser Works:

  • Uses fractional laser energy to improve the appearance of skin texture and tone

  • Creates controlled micro‑channels that support natural collagen remodeling

  • Helps smooth the look of lines, scars, and texture irregularities

  • Redness, dryness, and bronzing may occur for 7–14 days, depending on treatment intensity

  • Peeling typically begins around days 3–4

  • Skin generally re‑epithelializes between days 7–14

  • Makeup is usually allowed once the skin has fully re‑epithelialized

  • Exosomes are strongly recommended to support comfort and recovery

  • Collagen continues remodeling over 8–12 weeks, with gradual improvement in skin appearance

Recovery:

  • Helps smooth the appearance of fine lines, deeper wrinkles, and lip/smoker’s lines

  • Improves the look of under‑eye crepiness, early–moderate laxity, and overall firmness

  • Refines the appearance of acne scars, pitted texture, and enlarged pores

  • Brightens the look of sun damage, pigmentation, uneven tone, and rough texture

  • Softens the appearance of surgical scars and stretch marks

Benefits:

  • Acne scarring + deeper wrinkles: A series of 3–6 sessions is generally recommended

  • Treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow proper recovery and collagen remodeling

  • Lighter settings may be repeated every 6–12 months for maintenance

  • Collagen continues remodeling for 8–12 weeks after each session, with gradual improvement in skin appearance

Patient Story

Meet Sandra — a woman who has lived with deep acne scarring for many years. After trying microneedling, peels, and countless products, she decided to begin her CO₂ fractional laser journey in hopes of achieving deeper resurfacing.

Sandra has completed two CO₂ fractional treatments so far, each with smooth recovery and encouraging early improvement in her skin’s appearance. For long‑term transformation, she has committed to a series of six sessions, knowing that one treatment creates the foundation and each session builds on the last.

Sandra trusted Embrace Beauty Med Spa with her journey. She’s not at her final destination yet, but she’s moving forward with confidence — and she’s not walking it alone. Together, we will help her arrive.

Her skin story is still unfolding… and we’re honored to be part of every chapter.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Individuals looking to improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scarring, uneven tone, or texture irregularities may be good candidates. A consultation is required to determine if CO₂ is appropriate for your skin type and goals.

  • Treatment plans vary. Many clients choose a series of 3–6 sessions for deeper concerns such as acne scarring or more pronounced wrinkles. Your provider will recommend a personalized plan during your consultation.

  • Redness, dryness, bronzing, and peeling may occur for 7–14 days, depending on treatment intensity. Makeup is typically allowed once the skin has fully re‑epithelialized.

  • Most clients describe the treatment as tolerable. A topical numbing agent is typically applied to support comfort.

  • Initial improvement in skin appearance may be visible once the skin has recovered. Collagen continues remodeling for 8–12 weeks, with gradual refinement over time.
