CO2 Fractional Laser

Resurfacing is about more than making the skin “smooth”. The aim is to improve selected scars, uneven texture, pigmentation and signs of photo-ageing while respecting the natural character of Indian skin.

Fractional CO2 treatment creates controlled microscopic treatment zones so that healthier skin can develop during the healing process. The exact settings and number of sessions depend on the concern and skin type.

What makes the planning important

CO2 laser is powerful. That is why it should be personalised.

Indian skin can be more prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation after irritation or injury. Treatment intensity, preparation, aftercare and the timing of repeat sessions therefore deserve careful attention.

Assess the concern

Acne scars, pigmentation, pores, fine lines and other texture concerns can look similar but respond differently.

Plan the settings

Depth and intensity are selected according to the skin and treatment objective rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Respect recovery

Aftercare is part of the treatment. Temporary redness, swelling or peeling can occur and recovery varies by treatment intensity.

What to expect

A treatment journey, not a quick promise.

Before

Consultation, skin assessment, medical history and discussion of expectations and aftercare.

During

The skin is prepared and the laser is delivered to the selected areas using settings appropriate to the treatment plan.

After

The skin heals gradually. Sun protection and prescribed aftercare are important, and improvement is assessed over time.

Important: CO2 fractional laser is not suitable for every skin concern or every patient. Pigmentation can sometimes worsen if treatment is inappropriate or poorly planned, so medical assessment matters.
Frequently asked questions

CO2 Fractional Laser FAQs

What is CO2 Fractional Laser used for?

It can be used for selected acne scars, uneven texture, some pigmentation concerns, fine lines and photo-ageing related skin changes.

Is CO2 laser safe for Indian skin?

It can be used in selected Indian skin types, but the risk of pigmentation changes means careful patient selection, settings and aftercare are important.

How many CO2 laser sessions will I need?

There is no single number for everyone. The depth and type of scar or skin concern, treatment intensity and response help determine whether further sessions are useful.

Does CO2 laser remove acne scars completely?

Acne scars can often be improved, but complete removal cannot be promised. Results depend on scar type, severity, skin characteristics and treatment plan.

What is recovery like?

Recovery varies with treatment intensity. Redness, swelling, sensitivity and peeling may occur, followed by gradual improvement as the skin heals.

Can dark spots become darker after laser?

Post-inflammatory pigmentation is a possible concern, particularly in darker skin types. Appropriate assessment, settings and aftercare help manage this risk.
