Fractional CO2 laser treatment at DiVine Clinic delivers one of the most powerful skin resurfacing modalities available in non-surgical aesthetic medicine, using dual-mode laser technology that can target either skin rejuvenation (fractional mode) or precise growth removal (CO2 vapourisation mode). In fractional mode, the laser fires a grid of micro-beams that ablate microscopic columns of skin to a controlled depth, leaving surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing — this controlled injury stimulates significant new collagen formation and surface renewal, addressing wrinkles, skin laxity, enlarged pores, acne scars, and photoaged skin. In CO2 vapourisation mode, the laser removes individual skin lesions such as fibromas, xanthelasmas, and seborrhoeic keratoses by precisely evaporating tissue cell by cell. Anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment. A scab forms within 24 hours of fractional treatment and sheds over 7 days. Sun avoidance for 1–2 months is essential post-treatment.

About this treatment

Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser emits light at 10,600 nm — deep in the mid-infrared spectrum — which is strongly absorbed by water in tissue. Because all cells contain water, CO2 laser energy is absorbed and converted to steam at the point of contact, ablating (vaporising) the tissue in a highly controlled manner. At DiVine Clinic, the CO2 laser operates in two distinct modes used for different indications:

Mode 1 — Fractional ablative resurfacing

The laser fires through a fractional scanning pattern, creating a matrix of micro-ablative columns (micro-treatment zones, MTZs) across the skin surface. Each MTZ is a column of ablated tissue approximately 100–200 microns in diameter and 200–800 microns deep, surrounded by unaffected tissue. The fraction of treated skin per pass typically covers 20–30% of the surface area, leaving 70–80% intact. This 'fractional' approach is what distinguishes modern…
