Fractional CO2 laser is a type of skin treatment used to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation (age/sun spots or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), skin texture, stretch marks and other skin irregularities on the face or body. It is a non-invasive procedure that uses a laser, specially made of carbon dioxide, to remove the outer layers of damaged skin. The laser also penetrates deep down to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin. Our device-the FDA approved Cutera Secret Pro®-is a fully customizable treatment that can provide mild, moderate or aggressive skin resurfacing depending on your individual needs and desired “down time”. Healing time can range from 3 days to 2 weeks depending on the selected treatment. A consultation is required prior to treatment and can be done the same day. Your practitioner will send you home with a post-care kit containing gentle, safe products to ensure a smooth healing process. Once you reach your desired outcome, we recommend 1-2 treatments per year for maintenance.
This treatment can be enhanced for an elevated outcome by pairing it with PRF or Exosomes. Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF) is a component of your blood that contains a high concentration of stem cells, growth factors and fibrin to help facilitate faster healing, brighter skin and increased collagen production. Exosomes, or exosome therapy, is a new professional-level skin treatment that is often used in conjunction with microneedling or laser therapy. After having a laser or microneedling treatment (in which tiny microchannels are created in the skin) an exosome serum is then layered on top. These exosomes are used as 'signaling molecules' and work by stimulating your skin at a cellular level. They hunt out cells in need of repair and basically give them a kick, helping them to speed up collagen and elastin production.
