CO2 & Fractional Laser
Laser resurfacing | Westlake, Ohio
Explore a more precise approach to skin resurfacing.
CO2 laser resurfacing uses focused energy to remove controlled layers of skin. In fractional treatment, the energy is delivered in small treatment zones with surrounding skin left between them. A consultation at Advanced Skin Renewal helps determine whether this approach suits your skin and goals.
What fractional CO2 means
CO2 refers to the laser technology. Fractional describes the pattern of treatment: small zones are treated instead of the entire surface at once. Depending on the device and settings, a clinician may discuss this method for concerns such as texture, visible lines, or certain scars. Results vary and no improvement is guaranteed.
Planning your treatment
Your provider reviews skin tone, past pigment changes, current skin conditions, medications, sun exposure, and healing history. The exact device, treatment depth, number of sessions, preparation, and recovery plan are determined in person. Eye protection and careful aftercare are part of the discussion.
Recovery and risks
Laser resurfacing can cause redness, swelling, discomfort, infection, scarring, and changes in skin color. Healing time depends on the treatment settings and your skin. Ask about downtime, sun avoidance, wound care, and when to contact the clinic if healing does not progress as expected.

Common questions
What you may want to know
Is every CO2 treatment fractional?
No. CO2 names the laser technology; fractional describes one way energy can be delivered. Your provider will explain the device and treatment mode proposed for you.
Will I need downtime?
Often, yes. Recovery differs by treatment intensity and individual skin response. Your clinician can give a more useful estimate after assessing your skin and planned settings.
Can it help with scars or texture?
Resurfacing may be considered for certain texture and scar concerns. Suitability and expected improvement depend on the type of concern, skin history, and the chosen device.
