Fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing, is a cosmetic procedure that not only enhances skin appearance but also addresses precancerous lesions like actinic keratosis. This technique uses laser energy to create microscopic areas of thermal injury in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. The result is improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and a more even skin tone.
Beyond its aesthetic benefits, fractionated laser resurfacing with carbon dioxide or CO2 based machines effectively treats actinic keratosis—rough, scaly patches caused by sun damage that can potentially progress to skin cancer. By targeting and removing these damaged cells, the procedure reduces the risk of developing skin cancer. Studies have shown that fractional lasers, like Lutronic eCO2 and Fraxel, remodel the skin and lower the risk of developing skin cancers.
