Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment in Jalandhar

What is Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment?

A fractional CO2 laser creates thousands of microscopic columns of controlled injury in the skin, leaving healthy skin in between. As the skin heals, damaged tissue is replaced and strong new collagen and elastin are formed.

Because only a fraction of the skin is treated in each session, healing is faster than traditional full resurfacing, while still giving significant improvement in scars, texture and fine lines.

Dr. Tarunveer adjusts the depth and density of the laser to your scar type and skin, and may combine CO2 laser with subcision, TCA CROSS, PRP or micro-needling RF for deeper scars.

Benefits of Fractional CO2 Laser

How the Treatment Works

1. Assessment & skin preparation

   Your scar type, skin and medical history are reviewed; a priming cream may be advised for a few weeks before treatment.

2. Numbing

   A numbing cream is applied for about 45 minutes to keep you comfortable.

3. Laser treatment

   The laser is passed over the area in a controlled pattern. You will feel heat and prickling.

4. Healing & follow-up

   Redness and fine crusting last about a week, followed by fresher, smoother skin. Sessions are repeated every 4–6 weeks.

Results & Number of Sessions

Smoother skin is visible once the treated skin has peeled, usually after about a week. Collagen remodelling continues for 3–6 months after each session, so results keep improving.

Most acne scar patients need 3–5 sessions for a significant improvement. Scars improve markedly but are rarely erased completely, and the result depends on scar depth and type.

Aftercare

• Keep the skin moisturised with the prescribed cream
• Do not pick or scrub the crusts – let them shed naturally
• Strict sun protection for at least 4 weeks
• Avoid makeup for 3–5 days and active products (retinoids, acids) for a week
• Contact the clinic if you notice increasing pain, pus or blisters

Is Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment Safe?

Fractional CO2 laser is a powerful but well-established treatment. Redness, swelling, a sunburn-like feeling and peeling for several days are expected. Temporary darkening of the skin (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) can occur, especially without sun protection – the skin is prepared and settings are selected to minimise this risk. Infection and scarring are rare with proper after-care.
