Skin resurfacing with the fractional CO2 laser is the most effective treatment for those with skin marked by fine lines, shallow and deep wrinkles, scarring and inconsistent colouring. This type of fractional ablative resurfacing, which actually removes the very thin outermost layer of your skin, is not like surgery although patients do require careful follow-up care for healing, and most must set aside considerable recovery time allowing healing and redness to dissipate. The total recovery usually takes five days.
For patients who have the option of taking this time, effort and expense, the result is dramatic and the fractional CO2 laser in clinical trials is proven to be the most effective laser for treating the above complaints.
