AcuPulse fractional Co2 Laser
FRACTIONAL CO2 LASER RESURFACING
The CO2 laser smooths fine lines and wrinkles and reverses sun damage and age spots, resulting in more youthful, smooth, and younger-looking skin. The laser delivers tiny concentrated beams of heat energy that create microscopic channels that trigger collagen and elastic fiber production, while leaving some unaffected skin in between the channels to reduce healing time. The result is deep dermal regeneration that dramatically improves your skin elasticity and appearance. The Lumenis AcuPulse Laser that we use is the gold standard in CO2 laser treatments.
At the Center for Oral and Facial Surgery, our patients love the incredible results from CO2 laser treatment. Its ability to erase years from your appearance without surgery has made this one of the most popular skin rejuvenating treatments we have available.

How does AcuPulse Fractional CO2 Laser work
AcuPulse Fractional CO2 Laser is a skin resurfacing workstation that uses state of the art technology for all skin resurfacing needs.

What should I expect with treatment?
Upon your arrival, you will fill out a questionnaire to determine your skin type. Dr. Rutner will listen to your concerns and your desired results to determine an appropriate treatment plan.

Patients might begin to notice visible results within 4-6 week after treatment.
How should I prepare my skin before my AcuPulse Fractional CO2 Laser treatment?
To obtain the best possible results, we ask patients to avoid direct sun exposure or use spray tan/self-tanner two weeks before your treatment. We also recommend patients to avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours after your treatment.
Does AcuPulse Fractional CO2 Laser hurt?
The AcuPulse Fractional CO2 Laser system features a short pulse duration, which enhances patients’ comfort. Most patients describe the procedure to feel like a hot sensation on the skin but will be minimized by topical numbing cream.
Why use AcuPulse Fractional CO2 Laser as a resurfacing treatment?
AcuPulse Fractional CO2 Laser is an ablative laser resurfacing system that features state of the art technology. The fractional laser system includes SuperPulse technology and 11 built-in treatment modes. The SuperPulse technology provides the lowest level of thermal damage, making it more gentle on the skin and could result in less injury to the tissue. Fractional CO2 treatments consist of faster healing and better results.
What’s the difference between ablative and fractional skin resurfacing?
In Fractional Resurfacing treatment the laser heats a small column of skin to destroy unwanted pigment or color and to help promote new collagen growth to tighten the skin. Only a small column of skin that is treated while the surrounding skin areas are not. This allows the surrounding non-treated areas to provide the nutrients to heal the treated column of skin faster than traditional ablative treatment. This means They will have less redness, less downtime, and quicker healing process
