Fractional CO2 is the gold standard for acne scar resurfacing, skin texture improvement, melasma, and anti-ageing — delivering dramatic, long-lasting results with faster healing than traditional full ablation lasers.
About This Treatment
Fractional CO2 (10,600 nm) creates thousands of microscopic ablation columns in the skin — vaporising damaged, pigmented, or scarred tissue while leaving surrounding skin intact for faster healing. This fractional approach triggers intense collagen remodelling, replacing damaged tissue with fresh, healthy skin over 3–6 months.
At MS Hair & Skin Care, Dr. Megha Sharma pre-treats darker skin with depigmenting agents before CO2 laser to reduce PIH risk. The treatment is personalised for each patient — density, depth, and energy settings are all customised based on skin type, concern, and desired downtime.
How It Works
FAQs
Fractional CO2 treats acne scars (all types), melasma, fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, stretch marks, and surgical scars. It also provides significant anti-ageing skin rejuvenation.
1–3 sessions depending on severity. Acne scars typically need 2–3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Melasma may need 1–2 sessions combined with other treatments.
Yes, with proper protocols. Dr. Megha uses skin priming, lower energy settings, and conservative density for Indian skin (Fitzpatrick IV–V) to minimise PIH risk. Pre- and post-treatment topicals are essential.
5–10 days of significant redness, swelling, and skin peeling. Social downtime typically 5–7 days. Full healing in 10–14 days. Residual pinkness may last 4–6 weeks.
Yes — often combined with Subcision (to release tethered scars), TCA Cross (for ice pick scars), or PRP in the same session for comprehensive scar treatment.
