Like any other medical procedure, fractional CO2 laser therapy still carries risks. As the treatment introduces heat into the skin. Clients may experience the following side effects after skin treatment: long-term erythema (redness), hyperpigmentation, excessive swelling, scarring, infection, etc.

Fractional CO2 lasers are one of the safest and most effective procedures for many skin conditions. It involves the use of lasers to remove the outer layers of the skin, revealing the fresh, radiant skin underneath.

Most patients see visible results with just one treatment. But those with severe skin conditions may need multiple laser treatments.

After the skin has healed (which may take up to 3 weeks), your skin will be slightly pink. During this time, you'll see improvements in skin texture and tone. Once the skin is fully healed, full results can be seen 3-6 months after initial treatment.

Fractional CO2 laser treatment usually has a recovery period of 1 to 2 weeks, but exact healing times vary from person to person. Your skin will be very sensitive during this time.
