CO2 Fraxel in Birmingham, Ann Arbor and Detroit

Advanced and Versatile Laser Treatments

 

The CO2 Fraxel laser offers fully customizable laser resurfacing for a wide range of cosmetic skin concerns. Address signs of aging and other imperfections with minimal downtime!

CO2 Fraxel lasers deliver deep columns of laser energy to the skin. By doing so, they stimulate collagen production and tighten deeper layers of skin tissue without damaging the entirety of the skin’s surface. Ultimately, this means greater rejuvenation benefits with less downtime. Plus, the treatment is suitable for all skin types and a variety of treatment areas, including the face, neck, decolletage, hands and arms.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How Painful is CO2 Fraxel Laser Treatment?

Prior to CO2 Fraxel treatment, at BOYD Birmingham, a topical anesthetic is applied to the skin that helps minimize any discomfort during the treatment process. As a result, the sensation that you can expect during treatment is best described as a mild pricking sensation. Most patients find the treatment to be well tolerated.

How Long Does CO2 Fraxel Laser Last?

Thanks to the deep skin rejuvenation caused by CO2 Fraxel treatments, the results often last far beyond a year. Once collagen production increases in the skin, the body will continue to build upon your results and extend their duration. For these reasons, many patients achieve results that last about two years or longer.

How Many Sessions of CO2 Fraxel Laser Treatment are Needed?

The number of CO2 Fraxel treatments needed will vary depending on your treatment goals and your tolerance for a more aggressive treatment plan. Most patients can achieve their desired results with one or two treatments.
