Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing

A fractional CO2 laser that resurfaces the skin in microscopic columns to improve texture, fine lines, acne scarring and tone, while leaving surrounding skin intact for faster recovery. At Medeste Clinic it can be focused on the whole face, the neck and décolletage, individual wrinkles or specific scars, and PRP can be layered on to support healing. Best results come from a planned approach tailored to the concern.

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing delivers energy into the skin in a grid of microscopic treatment zones, removing tiny columns of tissue while leaving the skin between them untouched. This fractional pattern triggers a strong collagen-remodelling response that smooths texture, softens fine lines and wrinkles, fades acne scarring and evens out tone, while the intact surrounding skin supports a faster recovery than older fully ablative resurfacing. At Medeste Clinic 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; diligent moisturising and strict sun protection are important during healing. Because collagen remodelling is gradual, improvement continues for weeks to months, and depending on the concern a single deeper session or a short series may be planned. The laser can be tailored to the full face, neck and décolletage, the delicate eye area or forehead, the hands, or individual acne and surgical scars, and platelet-rich plasma can be combined with it to support recovery. Strict daily SPF is essential during and after treatment. It is not suitable over active infection or for certain skin conditions and is avoided in pregnancy; the physician confirms suitability and the right settings for your skin at consultation.
