Fractional CO2 laser is a highly effective treatment for acne scars. It creates tiny laser-induced microthermal zones that trigger the body's natural healing, stimulating new collagen and elastin to smooth scarring. Proper aftercare is key to the best results.
Immediate Aftercare (1-4 Days)
- Keep the treated area clean and moist.
- Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser regularly.
- Avoid direct sun and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
- Do not pick or scratch the treated area.
Long-Term Care (Weeks to Months)
- Continue protecting the area from sun exposure.
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser.
- Avoid harsh or irritating skincare products.
- Attend scheduled follow-up appointments.
Possible Side Effects
- Redness, swelling and peeling — usually settle within days to weeks.
- Temporary pigmentation changes, especially on darker skin tones.
- Infection is a rare but possible complication.
