Fractional CO2 Treatment at Guilford Dermatology

Crucial Skin Cancer Detection for Your Health

What is Fractional CO2?

Fractional CO2 laser therapy is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to address a variety of skin concerns. By using targeted laser energy, this procedure creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen production and skin renewal. It is effective in reducing wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin texture, offering patients a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Why Choose Guilford Dermatology for Fractional CO2?

At Guilford Dermatology, our team of highly trained dermatologists and medical professionals offers personalized care and cutting-edge treatments to help you achieve your desired skin goals. Our clinic prioritizes patient safety, comfort, and results. With years of experience in laser dermatology, Guilford Dermatology is equipped to provide exceptional care tailored to your unique skin needs.

The Fractional CO2 Process

Your Fractional CO2 journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Guilford Dermatology. During this appointment, your skin concerns and goals will be discussed, and your dermatologist will evaluate your skin to determine if Fractional CO2 is the right treatment for you. You’ll also receive detailed information about the process, potential results, and what to expect post-treatment.

On the day of your procedure, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort. The Fractional CO2 laser is then carefully guided over the targeted areas, delivering precise energy to stimulate collagen and promote skin repair. The treatment typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.

After the procedure, your skin may appear red, swollen, and sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. Recovery time can vary, but most patients experience noticeable improvements within a few days to weeks as the skin heals. Over time, results will continue to improve as collagen production increases, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.
