Overview of Fractional CO2 Laser for Skin Treatment

For more than three decades, one procedure has been regarded as the gold standard by the dermatological community.

The CO2 laser is a type of treatment that can effectively reduce the visibility of various skin imperfections such as acne scars, spots, melasma, sunspots, deep wrinkles, and sagging skin.
If you’re looking to improve your skin’s appearance by reducing wrinkles and sagging, Sculptra is a great option for both men and women. This procedure can be done on many areas of the body, such as the face, neck, arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.

Sculptra is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that’s comfortable for patients. It works by stimulating collagen production, which restores volume, tones flabby skin, and reduces signs of aging. The results are gradual, with patients typically noticing a difference about five weeks after the procedure.

The number of sessions required depends on the severity of the problem. To achieve a natural and long-lasting rejuvenation, one to three monthly Sculptra sessions are typically recommended, followed by annual maintenance.
