What Is Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?
A fractional ablative CO₂ laser creates microscopic wounds in the skin’s deeper layers, precisely removing damaged tissue and activating intense collagen regeneration Unlike surface facials, this method resurfaces both the epidermis and dermis, targeting lines, scars, pigmentation, and laxity for long-lasting renewal.

Fractional Laser vs HIFU vs RF
Fractional CO₂ penetrates deeper, aggressively resurfacing lines, scars, and pigmentation—but requires 3–7 days downtime
HIFU focuses on deep tissue lifting with minimal downtime—ideal for non-surgical facelift effects.
Radiofrequency (RF) and RF microneedling treat texture and mild laxity with low downtime.
For comprehensive rejuvenation, combining CO₂ resurfacing with HIFU, microneedling, or PRP can amplify results
