How Fractional CO2 Laser Rejuvenates Your Skin: Benefits, Recovery & Results

If you’re considering a powerful, non-surgical treatment to reverse signs of aging or improve acne scars, fractional CO2 laser therapy is one of the most effective solutions available. At Da Vinci Clinic, we’ve helped countless patients achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin through this advanced skin resurfacing treatment.
With nearly 20 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, our clinic combines cutting-edge technology with expert care to deliver safe, visible, and lasting results.
What Is Fractional CO2 Laser?
Fractional CO2 laser is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers. The term “fractional” refers to the laser targeting tiny zones of the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact for quicker healing and minimal downtime.
At Da Vinci Clinic, we use premium medical-grade fractional CO2 laser technology designed to treat various skin issues with precision and minimal discomfort.
How It Works
This laser works by creating thousands of microscopic columns of thermal injury in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, which results in:
- Increased collagen and elastin production
- Smoother, tighter, and more even-toned skin
- Progressive improvement over weeks and months
Because the laser targets only a fraction of the skin surface at a time, healing is faster and the risk of complications is lower compared to traditional ablative lasers.
Key Benefits of Fractional CO2 Laser
Fractional CO2 laser offers a broad range of aesthetic and dermatological benefits, including:
Reverses Signs of Aging:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Tightens sagging skin
Improves Skin Texture:
- Smooths rough, uneven skin
- Minimizes enlarged pores
Reduces Scars & Pigmentation:
- Fades acne scars and surgical scars
- Treats sun damage and age spots
Safe for Most Skin Types:
- Adjustable intensity for various skin tones and sensitivities
- Customisable based on your individual skin condition
What to Expect During Treatment
At Da Vinci Clinic, your treatment begins with a detailed consultation and skin assessment. Here’s a step-by-step overview of what to expect:
- Preparation: A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
- Laser Treatment: The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes.
- Post-Treatment: Expect some redness and a mild sunburn-like sensation, which usually resolves in 3–4 days.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions to protect your skin and speed up healing.
Recovery and Results
Recovery is typically fast, with most patients experiencing:
- Redness and mild swelling for the first few days
- Peeling or flaking between days 3–5
- Improved skin tone and texture from week 2 onward
- Continued collagen production over 1–3 months for optimal results
Most patients require multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart for best results. With proper skincare and sun protection, improvements can be long-lasting.
Who Is It For?
You may be a good candidate for fractional CO2 laser if you:
- Want to reduce wrinkles, scars, or uneven pigmentation
