Is Fractional CO₂ Laser safe for Indian skin tones?

Yes, when performed with calibrated energy settings and strict post-care protocols.

How many sessions are usually required?

Most patients require 3–5 sessions depending on scar severity and response.

Redness, swelling and mild peeling may last 3–7 days depending on intensity.

When will I see results?

Initial improvement may be noticed within 2–3 weeks. Collagen remodelling continues for up to 3 months.

Can acne scars completely disappear?

Complete removal cannot be guaranteed. The goal is significant visible improvement.

Is the procedure painful?

Topical anaesthetic is applied prior to treatment. Most patients tolerate it well.

Can pigmentation worsen after the procedure?

With correct calibration and sun protection, risks are minimised. Compliance with post-care is essential.

Who should avoid this treatment?

Active infections, recent isotretinoin therapy, uncontrolled medical conditions or impaired healing may require postponement.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes. In selected cases regenerative therapies such as PRP may support healing and outcomes.

What precautions are required after treatment?

Strict sun protection, prescribed topical care and avoidance of aggressive skincare during recovery.

Overview

What is Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?

At Own Skin, Fractional CO₂ Laser is used as a precision-led skin resurfacing treatment designed to address deeper skin concerns, including scars, fine lines, uneven texture, open pores and stretch marks. The technology creates controlled microscopic thermal zones within the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response.

This process stimulates collagen regeneration and gradual skin renewal, resulting in smoother, firmer and more refined skin texture over time. Each protocol is customised following an individual skin assessment and performed under expert dermatological supervision.

Sessions: Most need 3–5
Downtime: 3–7 days of redness and peeling
Comfort: Topical anaesthetic
Results: From 2–3 weeks; remodelling up to 3 months

How it works

How Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing works

01
Clinical assessment
Scar grading, skin thickness and melanin response are assessed.
02
Fractional energy delivery
The laser creates controlled microscopic thermal columns within the skin.
03
Surrounding tissue preservation
Untreated zones between columns support faster healing and reduce complication risk.
04
Collagen remodelling phase
New collagen gradually improves texture, firmness and scar depth over weeks.
