CO2 FRACTIONAL RESURFACING 

Experience the next evolution in skin restoration with CO2 Fractional Resurfacing, a cutting-edge treatment designed to refresh your youthful vitality and smooth, radiant skin. La Chelé has been providing CO2 treatments for 20 years! ECO2 is the gold standard for resurfacing and tightening the skin at the same time! Our state-of-the-art fractional ablative laser system is designed to address a wide range of skin concerns including wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, skin laxity, textural irregularities, pigmented lesions, and burn/trauma scars. 

HOW ECO2 WORKS
CO2 laser technology targets the skin’s surface, middle, and deep dermal layers. Fractional skin resurfacing has dramatically changed the way providers approach skin resurfacing and wrinkle reduction.

Through Controlled Chaos Technology (CCT™), our CO2 treatment delivers laser beams in a pseudo-random pattern to minimize heat buildup, reduce patient discomfort, and promote faster healing. This technology allows our providers to perform both superficial and deep skin resurfacing with enhanced safety and efficacy. Skin is healing on the surface and creating new dermal collagen that will continue for up to 6 months. This improved skin quality will translate to a more youthful appearance.

Your provider will discuss your concerns and treatment goals during your consultation. Your results will vary depending on your age, skin type and degree of sun damage, as well as your willingness to tolerate more downtime in a single treatment, versus less downtime from 2-3 treatments. Based on your input and preferences, the fractional resurfacing parameters will be customized to help achieve your goals.  

Common benefits:

• Reduces facial fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves appearance of surgical scars and acne scars
• Reduces sun damage, brown spots, and vascular conditions
• Gives the skin a firmer, smooth appearance
• Lightens and brightens skin tone 

THE HEALING PROCESS
Healing depends on the aggressiveness of your customized treatment! You tell us – conservative, moderate, or aggressive and this will determine your downtime! Immediately following fractional resurfacing treatment, you will typically experience swelling and redness for 2-5 days. For more aggressive single treatments, the skin may remain red for 1-2 weeks. Normal activities may be resumed in most cases after 5 days.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the treatment discomfort like?
Everyone experiences pain or discomfort to varying degrees. You and your provider will determine how to minimize your discomfort during the treatment. Topical and injectable anesthetics are usually utilized, and oral medications are prescribed.

What downtime can be expected?
Most medium level to aggressive fractional resurfacing treatments can cause redness that can last 1 week or longer. Usually, no make-up is recommended for one week to ensure skin healing, and regular activities can be resumed after 5 days.

What results can I expect?
Based on your provider’s customized approach to achieve your goals, the results after a single medium to aggressive treatment can be dramatic and those skin improvement benefits can extend well beyond 6 months. Your provider can help guide expectations for the future improvement in your skin appearance.

What’s the difference between CO2 and Fraxel treatments?
Both CO2 and Fraxel technologies are used for skin rejuvenation, but they differ in key ways. Fraxel, which launched in 2000, was the first laser for facial rejuvenation. However, CO2 Fractional Resurfacing is the next generation of laser skin resurfacing, offering the latest in cutting-edge technology. CO2’s micro ablative technology provides more tightening and allows the skin to heal more quickly because the skin’s surface is not ablated simultaneously!
