Fractional CO2 laser is a highly effective treatment for acne scars. It works by ablating the top layer of skin, creating tiny laser-induced microthermal zones (LTZs). This controlled injury triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin to fill in and smooth out the appearance of acne scars.
Post-Treatment Care
Following fractional CO2 laser treatment, proper post-treatment care is crucial for maximizing results and minimizing side effects.
Immediate Aftercare (1-4 days):
- Keep the treated area clean and moist.
- Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer regularly.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
- Do not pick or scratch the treated area.
Long-Term Care (weeks to months):
- Continue to protect the treated area from sun exposure.
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
- Avoid using harsh or irritating skincare products.
- Follow up with your dermatologist for scheduled appointments.
Benefits of Fractional CO2 Laser for Acne Scars:
- Reduces the appearance of various types of acne scars, including icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars.
- Improves skin texture and tone.

- Stimulates collagen production for long-lasting results.
