How Does it Work?
Fractionated CO2 laser treatment is an FDA approved treatment, that utilizes a “dot” pattern to create thousands of microscopic perforations in the skin while leaving the areas around each “dot” intact. This fractional laser allows for the skin to heal more quickly from the edge of these tiny “dots.” The overall procedure is safer, faster and more efficient. Dr. Chapman is an expert at lasers. She is able to customize treatment specifically to the patient and even modify treatment during the procedure for various skin challenges or problem areas.

​
After your CO2 laser resurfacing treatment, you will look like you have a bad sunburn and your skin will be warm. Initially, swelling is usually most significant around the eyes. It is normal for the skin to be moist and even contain some crusting. Over the course of 3-5 days, the old damaged skin will begin to come off and light flaking will continue for up to 10 days. Although your skin can remain pink for a few weeks, most patients are able to apply make-up in 7-10 days post-treatment. We will watch your healing closely to make sure you are progressing well and that you are healing as expected. Dr. Chapman and her staff are available for any questions you may have during your recovery period.
