About the treatment

How Fractional Laser Treatment Works

Fractional laser treatment delivers thousands of microscopic laser columns into the skin, stimulating new collagen formation through controlled heat and light energy. This process activates the body’s natural healing response, leading to the replacement of damaged cells with younger, smoother, and healthier skin. Optimal results are generally observed six to eight weeks after treatment.

The DEKA Fractional CO2 laser is an ablative technology offering precise control with multiple pulse options. This flexibility enables targeting specific skin depths to stimulate collagen production effectively. Treatment can be tailored to suit delicate areas, such as the neck and eyelids, or to address complex concerns including scars, pigmentation, and deep static wrinkles.
