Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, and so is discolouration. Most of us, at some point in time, have experiences acne. While it takes time to heal, chances are, it might leave a scar behind. As for discolouration, a lot of us notice certain areas of the skin, especially on the face, developing a slightly darker than usual colour (think undereyes). We might even try a lot of products to get rid of the scars and get an even skintone. You can now achieve that via a fractional CO2 laser treatment.
Fractional CO2 laser treatment is a highly advanced, non-invasive procedure, which not only reduces your acne scars, but can also be effective in reducing other skin problems like sun damage, fine lines and discolouration. The procedure uses laser made of carbon dioxide, to remove a very thin outer layer of skin, which usually faces the brunt of damages the most. After the dead and damaged skin is removed, the continuous targeting of the laser activates the deeper layers of the skin. The results in better production of collagen, which is an essential protein, the lack of which usually causes your skin to look unhealthy and become more prone to damages. The collagen ultimately helps in healing the skin and also providing a natural glow to the skin. While the procedure is non-surgical in nature, but, like any cosmetic laser treatment, it might take multiple sessions, depending upon various factors like the ailment you’re aiming to treat, your skin type, age, etc. It is best to consult a good dermatologist to figure out what works best for your skin.
