If your skin has been affected by sun damage, scarring, or the effects of aging, you may be searching for a long-lasting way to improve texture and firmness. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is a leading solution for those seeking dramatic results without surgery. This treatment uses laser energy to create microscopic injuries that stimulate your body to naturally regenerate collagen — a key protein for youthful, firm skin.
At Essex MedSpa in Littleton, CO, Dr. Jill Sohayda leads our team with a deep commitment to safe and science-backed skin treatments. She is a double board-certified physician who earned her medical degree from the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine. With advanced laser training from Rocky Mountain Laser College and affiliations with the Cleveland Clinic and Lutheran Medical Center, Dr. Sohayda brings extensive experience in delivering precise, individualized care.
How Fractional CO2 Works
Unlike traditional ablative lasers, Fractional CO2 creates thousands of tiny channels in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This approach triggers a natural healing response, boosting collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin without completely removing the top layer.
Here are the key benefits of this collagen-stimulating treatment:
- Improved texture: Fractional CO2 smooths fine lines, roughness, and uneven skin.
- Skin tightening: As new collagen forms, the skin becomes firmer and more resilient.
- Scar and pore reduction: Acne scars and enlarged pores appear smaller with consistent regeneration.
- Long-term results: As collagen builds over time, your skin improves for months post-treatment.
These benefits make fractional CO2 an excellent choice for those who want to address multiple concerns with one treatment.
Long-Term Results from Laser Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 treatments offer more than just a temporary glow. Because the laser stimulates collagen and elastin production deep within the dermis, improvements can last for years with proper skincare and sun protection.
Results may include:
- Gradual softening of deep wrinkles.
- Brighter, more even complexion.
- Smoother skin surface.
- Reduced appearance of sun damage.
Most patients notice initial improvements within a few weeks, with peak results becoming visible after two to three months.
