See the Benefits of CO2 FX Laser Resurfacing

The Fractional CO2 FX Laser Resurfacing treatment is a non-surgical solution to turn back the clock on your skin, providing a more youthful and healthier appearance in just a few short sessions. The key benefits include:

Wrinkle Reduction: Treatments effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds, restoring a smoother complexion.
Pigmentation Improvement: Your doctor uses the laser to target and improve pigmentation irregularities, promoting a more even skin tone.
Collagen Stimulation: Treatments stimulate new skin and collagen formation, contributing to a revitalized and youthful look.
Scar Refinement: Your doctor can use this laser to address the impact of scars, whether from acne, sun damage, or previous injuries, promoting a more refined skin surface.

Understanding Fractional CO2 Laser Technology

The CO2 laser technology employed in the FX Laser treatment is recognized as the gold standard in skin resurfacing. What sets it apart is its fractionated nature, where microscopic areas of the skin are precisely targeted. This approach leaves healthy skin surrounding each treated area, facilitating rapid healing with new collagen production. The result is an improvement in wrinkles, surface irregularities, blemishes, and pigment abnormalities.
