Fractional Co2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
What is Fractional Co2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Deep Renewal. Doctor-Performed. Remarkably Effective.
At The Raynald Center, our Fractional CO₂ Laser treatment is more than just skin resurfacing—it’s skin transformation under the hands of experienced, board-certified doctors.
This powerful laser technology penetrates deep into the dermis to trigger your body’s natural collagen regeneration, smoothing imperfections, evening out texture, and bringing out the clearest, most radiant version of your skin.
Whether you’re targeting fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, or acne scars, our fractional laser treatments are precisely calibrated and customized for your skin’s needs.
What Can Fractional CO₂ Laser Treat?
This gold-standard laser technology offers dramatic improvements for:
– Fine lines & wrinkles (especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead)
– Acne scars
– Uneven skin tone & texture
– Enlarged pores
– Sun damage & pigmentation
– Skin laxity and dullness
– Stretch marks
– Age spots & discoloration
It can be used on the face, neck, chest, and even hands for total skin rejuvenation.
Why Choose Fractional CO₂ Laser at The Raynald Center?
– Doctor-Performed for Maximum Safety and Precision
This is a high-energy, advanced laser—so all treatments are performed exclusively by board-certified doctors to ensure optimal results with minimized risks.
– Custom-Tailored Settings for Your Skin
We adjust the laser’s depth and intensity to suit your unique skin type, tone, and goals—whether you’re focused on light rejuvenation or deep scar revision.
Long-Term Collagen Remodeling
Unlike superficial treatments, Fractional CO₂ stimulates your skin to rebuild itself from within, improving tone, texture, and tightness over the following weeks and months.
– Visible Results After Just One Treatment
While a series may be recommended, many patients notice brighter, firmer, smoother skin after a single session.
– Can Be Combined with Other Treatments
For enhanced results, we often combine CO₂ laser with exosomes, scar subcision, Nano Fat, or skin boosters to accelerate healing and improve outcomes.
What to Expect
Mild redness and downtime can vary depending on intensity, but we’ll walk you through your personalized aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery. The result? Skin that looks healthier, firmer, and years younger—with natural, lasting results.
Pre-Procedure Guidelines
Your journey to skin renewal begins with preparation. Follow these steps to ensure the safest and most effective outcome.
✅ 2 Weeks Before
Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including tanning beds and self-tanners). Skin must be free of sunburn or irritation.
Discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids, and harsh active ingredients unless directed otherwise by your provider.
No facial waxing, threading, or dermabrasion in the treatment area.
Notify our doctors of any history of cold sores, active acne, pigmentation disorders, or ongoing medical treatments.
✅ 5–7 Days Before
Begin antiviral medication if prescribed (for patients with a history of cold sores).
Avoid alcohol and smoking, which may impair healing and increase inflammation.
✅ 48 Hours Before
Discontinue all exfoliating agents, Vitamin C, and brightening serums on the treatment area.
Stay well-hydrated. Healthy skin responds better to laser treatment.
✅ Day of Appointment
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Do not apply lotions, SPF, or skincare products.
Wear loose-fitting clothing if treatment includes the neck, chest, or hands.
Eat a light meal beforehand to avoid lightheadedness.
Allow extra time for numbing application prior to the procedure.
Post Procedure Guidelines
This is where transformation happens. Proper aftercare is essential to unlock your skin’s full potential.
✅ Immediately After
Redness, warmth, and swelling are expected and may last 3–7 days.
Tiny dots or a grid-like pattern may appear—this is normal and part of the healing process.
Do not touch, pick, or scratch the treated area.
✅ First 3–5 Days
Cleanse gently with a doctor-recommended, non-foaming cleanser.
Apply healing ointment or barrier cream (e.g., Aquaphor or as directed) to keep skin moist.
Avoid sun exposure completely. Stay indoors or wear a wide-brimmed hat and avoid direct heat.
✅ First 7–10 Days
Continue applying post-laser skin barrier creams.
No makeup, active skincare, or exfoliants until fully re-epithelialized.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and swimming pools.
✅ After 10 Days
You may resume gentle skincare and broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen.
Schedule any follow-up or combination treatments as advised by your doctor.
Hydrate and protect your skin daily. Collagen remodeling continues over the next 3–6 months.
