Fractional Co2 Laser Scar

Fractional Co2 Laser Scar in Islamabad Pakistan

What is Fractional CO2 Laser Scar Treatment?

It is a dermatological procedure where we use an advanced fractional CO2 laser system to treat various types of scars including acne scars, surgical scars, traumatic scars and stretch marks. In the treatment process our fractional CO2 laser creates small holes or wounds in the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulation of the wound healing process, leads to increased collagen and elastin formation hence improving the texture and appearance of the treated skin.

Unlike common creams or superficial treatments that work solely on the surface of the skin, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing reaches further down in the skin to activate its own regenerative processes. While the skin is generating new tissue it slowly starts to replace damaged scar tissue with fresh, healthy skin cells ultimately leading to better skin texture, less blemishes and better skin tone.

How Does It Work?

Fractional CO2 laser therapy stimulates collagen production by creating microscopic thermal zones in the dermal layer. The heat generated by the laser causes micro thermal zones to be formed in the dermis, these micro thermal zones stimulate the natural healing process of the skin and cause the release of growth factors responsible for the production of collagen and elastin fibers.

While the skin is undergoing the healing process, new collagen and elastin fibers start to build up in the dermal layer, thereby, improving the texture and appearance of scars and uneven skin surface. Due to the fact that the laser only treats a portion of the skin at a time, the surrounding healthy skin tissues will significantly speed up the healing process.

Types of Scars That Can Be Treated With Fractional CO2 Laser:

  • Acne scars
  • Surgical scars
  • Trauma scars
  • Chickenpox scars
  • Burn scars
  • Stretch marks in some cases

Results OF Fractional Co2 Laser Scar in Islamabad:

Many patients start to observe gradual improvement in their skin texture and scar appearance immediately following the first treatment. Generally however deep scars will need additional treatments to show a marked improvement. As collagen continues to produce in the treated skin over the coming weeks the skin begins to become smoother and firmer. The greatest degree of visual improvement generally occurs 2 – 3 months post treatment because collagen remodels and the skin regenerates.
