Aging is cursed the most for skin deterioration but it is not the only culprit to be blamed. Skin issues can affect a person at any stage of life. Most of them are without any doubt age-related, for example, an appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, pigmentation problems like age spots, thinning of skin and lesion formation, etc. But early aging is also a common cause of concern these days. Some skin issues are also caused by life events such as puberty and pregnancy cause stretch marks, acne breakouts cause acne scars, excessive sun exposure causes melasma and freckles and blemishes. But a million-dollar question is, is there any cure? Obviously Yes! There is one solution for all these skin problems and that is Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing.



Fractional lasers work really well with minimal or no downtime and the best part is that results can be seen in a short amount of time. It is an ideal skin rejuvenation treatment equally effective for teens and grownups, and for adults and aged people. Dermatologists in Dubai believe that it is the finest skincare treatment that came to fore in the last decade.

Your doctor will begin by cleansing the treatment area. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area and left on for 30 to 45 minutes. Superficial skin resurfacing may not require numbing at all.

A handheld device is then used to project fractional CO2 lasers in the treatment area.

Fractional CO2 laser treatment is nothing but an advancement of the traditional CO2 laser skin resurfacing.

The pulsating CO2 laser is fractionated into thousands of beams with microscopic space between them.

The clinician keeps on flashing laser beams until the entire treatment area has been covered.

Time taken varies from person to person depending upon the size of the treatment area. For example, treating an entire face takes anywhere between 20 to 25 minutes.

Cold compresses may be applied to relieve post-procedural discomfort if any, but this is rare.

The topical antibiotic will be applied to the treatment area, and this concludes the treatment.

However, doctors recommend rest after the procedure which is a pretty good idea. Anyone who is getting treated for the first time should especially take a couple of days off from the work to allow the skin to recover and for better understanding what to expect after treatments in time to come.

How Fractional CO2 lasers work? The fractionated beams penetrate into deeper layers of skin and cause microscopic wounds at a controlled rate while leaving the epidermis intact. The columns of space between fractionated beams remain undamaged. These undamaged columns initiate the healing process after the treatment. During the healing process, the damaged skin layers are replaced by fresh skin. Heat from lasers also causes the collagen and elastin to shrink. It also promotes the production of new collagen which helps keep skin smooth and supple.
