Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing (Mona Lisa)

A fractional CO2 laser that resurfaces the skin in microscopic columns to improve texture, fine lines, scarring and tone. Because it treats fractionally, surrounding skin is left intact to speed recovery compared with fully ablative resurfacing. Treatment can be focused on the whole face, neck, décolleté or a single area, with a platelet-rich plasma add-on to support healing. Best results come from a planned approach with strict sun protection.

The Mona Lisa fractional CO2 laser delivers energy into the skin in a grid of microscopic treatment zones, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This fractional approach is associated with a strong collagen-remodelling response that can smooth texture, soften fine lines, improve scarring and even out tone, while the untreated bridges of skin between zones allow faster recovery than older fully ablative resurfacing. At Chirurgia Estetyczna Poznań the skin is cleansed and numbed before treatment, which takes around thirty to forty-five minutes for the face. Afterwards the skin feels warm and looks flushed, with mild swelling and a sandpaper-like texture for a few days as it renews; most people return to normal activities quickly with diligent moisturising and sun protection. Because remodelling is gradual, a planned approach — sometimes a short series spaced several weeks apart — gives the best outcome, with improvement continuing for months. The laser can be tailored to the full face, the neck, the décolleté or a single chosen area, and the clinic offers a platelet-rich plasma add-on to support recovery. The same fractional CO2 platform is also used for targeted scar and stretch-mark work. Strict daily SPF is essential during and after a course. The treatment is not suitable over active infection or for certain skin conditions and is avoided in pregnancy; suitability and the right settings are confirmed beforehand.
