Fractional laser carbon dioxide laser is a type of treatment that has an ablation effect, that is, peeling, on the upper and middle layers of the skin by applying laser beams at a wavelength of 10600 nanometers. When we apply carbon dioxide laser fractionally, we send laser beams in the form of micron-sized columns, not to the entire skin surface, so that each point laser pulse has a diameter of 120 micrometers. While many point laser shots are created in the targeted area, we leave islands of intact skin between these shots. Leaving islands of intact skin in between allows the healing process to be much faster. The aim is to accelerate healing while keeping the effect the same.

HOW IS FRACTIONAL CO2 LASER APPLIED? ?
After local anesthesia cream is applied to the application area and anesthesia is achieved, appropriate doses are selected for the patient and a laser shot is applied. Afterwards, redness and tenderness occur in the applied area. It disappears within 24–48 hours. Afterwards, a very slight crust may occur, which will heal completely within 1 week and 10 days, depending on the dosage of the application. Depending on the problem, 3 – 6 sessions may be repeated at 1-month intervals.
