About Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing in Orange County

CO2 laser resurfacing works by ablating micro-columns of skin, triggering a robust healing response in both the epidermis and deeper dermis. The outcome? A fresh, revitalized outer layer paired with enhanced collagen and elastin for lasting firmness and vibrancy.

No other therapy — be it alternative lasers, RF devices, or facials — matches CO2’s prowess in erasing fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing scars, and restoring dermal strength for lasting radiance, making it a top choice for CO2 laser skin rejuvenation in Orange County.

How Does Fractional CO2 Laser Ablation Transform Skin?

The CO2 laser’s transformational results stem from ablation, achieved by vaporizing water in micro-channels of skin to create controlled damage. This initiates a robust healing response in the epidermis and dermis. Fractional CO2 lasers target only a small portion of the treated area, prompting widespread repair: cell activation, cell turnover, and elevated collagen/elastin production. The outcome is a refreshed surface with healthy cells and a denser dermis for sustained firmness, thickness, and luminosity.
