Is Ablative CO₂ Laser suitable for Indian skin tones?

Yes, when performed under expert supervision with conservative parameter control and structured aftercare.

How is this different from Fractional CO₂ Laser?

Ablative CO₂ involves deeper resurfacing and more extensive tissue removal. Fractional CO₂ creates microthermal zones with comparatively shorter downtime.

How many sessions are required?

Typically 1–3 sessions for moderate scars. Severe cases may require staged or combination treatment.

Yes. Redness, crusting and peeling are expected. Downtime varies with treatment intensity.

Is the procedure painful?

Topical or local anaesthesia is used to maintain comfort.

When will results be visible?

Initial improvement appears after healing. Collagen remodelling continues for several months.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Adjunctive approaches such as TCA CROSS or regenerative therapies may be recommended.

Who is an ideal candidate?

Individuals with deeper acne scars or select small lesions.

Who should avoid this treatment?

Those with active infections, impaired healing, recent isotretinoin use or uncontrolled medical conditions require evaluation.

How do I maintain results?

Strict sun protection and dermatologist-guided skincare are essential.

Overview

What is Ablative CO₂ Laser?

At Own Skin, Ablative CO₂ Laser is designed for deep resurfacing and precision tissue correction. It delivers two effects: removal of damaged or irregular surface tissue, and thermal stimulation of the deeper dermis, triggering collagen remodelling (neocollagenesis).

Unlike non-ablative lasers that heat without removing tissue, Ablative CO₂ resurfaces while initiating structural renewal. Conservative energy calibration, staged planning and structured post-procedure care are followed to optimise safety and cosmetic outcomes. All procedures are performed under direct dermatologist supervision.

Sessions: Typically 1–3
Downtime: Redness, crusting and peeling expected
Comfort: Topical or local anaesthesia
Results: After healing; remodelling for months
