ABSTRACT
Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is one of the most widely used lasers in dermatology. CO2 laser can precisely ablate the skin with good hemostasis, which makes it an ideal surgical laser. With the development of pulsed CO2 laser, which enabled cleaner ablation with less residual thermal damage, CO2 laser resurfacing became the gold standard for skin rejuvenation. The rejuvenation effect of full-face CO2 laser resurfacing is unparalleled to other methods; however, it is associated with a relative high incidence of side effects and prolonged downtime. Fractional CO2 laser was developed to overcome this problem. With a new technology of fractionating the laser beam into hundreds of microbeams, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing can improve various skin conditions including skin laxity, photodamage, and acne scars with short downtime and significantly lesser side effects. For optimal treatment results, clinicians have to decide the treatment depth and density based on proper understanding of the laser tissue interaction and underlying skin conditions.
