Clinical Mechanism & Overview
Fractional CO2 Laser creates microscopic thermal treatment zones deep in the dermis. This triggers rapid tissue remodeling and intense new collagen formation, lifting depressed acne scars (ice-pick, boxcar, rolling) to smooth skin level.
Types Of Fractional CO2 & Erbium Laser Scar Treatment
Different approaches may be selected depending on your skin concern, treatment goal, and dermatologist assessment.
Fractional CO2 Laser: Micro-ablative resurfacing for boxcar, rolling, and deeper textural scars.
Erbium Laser Resurfacing: A controlled resurfacing option for finer scars, uneven texture, and selected marks.
Stretch Mark Laser: Fractional collagen stimulation for stretch marks and selected body-scar concerns.
