FAQs
How does it work?
The Fractional CO2 Laser makes small microscopic holes in the deeper layers of the skin. This process leads to the generation of new, healthy collagen to smooth out the acne scars.
Improvement in acne scars can be seen in as early as one week following the Fractional CO2 laser treatment. The number of treatments required really depends on the severity of your scarring. Improvements in acne scarring will continue for up to 6 months following your course of treatment.
