I performed fractional CO2 laser resurfacing of the face and neck to improve skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and early sun damage. I selected moderate-depth fractional settings to balance meaningful collagen stimulation with manageable downtime.
Around the mouth, where deeper etched lines tend to form, I treated more aggressively to enhance smoothing and stimulate additional collagen remodeling. As you can see in the after photos, there is visible improvement in overall texture, fine lines, and skin tone.
Because this was a fractional CO2 treatment, healing was faster than with fully ablative resurfacing. Fractional technology allows me to create controlled microthermal zones while preserving surrounding skin, reducing recovery time.
I use the PhantomClear CO2 Laser, which gives me precise control over depth, density, and energy settings. This customization helps minimize risks such as hyperpigmentation or scarring while tailoring the treatment to each patient’s goals and available downtime.
For patients seeking further improvement in deeper wrinkles or sun damage, I can safely perform additional sessions with increased settings for more dramatic rejuvenation.
