Fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing uses very precise, controlled micro-spots of energy delivered across the skin. These tiny columns allow the laser to interact with both the surface and deeper layers of the skin in a structured and targeted way.
By treating microscopic areas while leaving surrounding tissue intact, the skin is able to initiate a natural healing response. Ongoing research in recent years has continued to explore how this fractional pattern supports collagen regeneration and skin renewal during the recovery process.
Because of its depth and precision, fractional CO₂ laser is sometimes considered when more intensive skin resurfacing options are being explored.
At Medwell Clinic, a consultation is required to determine whether this treatment is appropriate. If suitable, the team explains how the procedure works, what recovery typically involves, and the aftercare needed to support healing. Fractional CO₂ laser may be discussed as part of a personalised facial resurfacing approach supported by current research.
