Fractional CO₂

Fractional CO₂ Resurfacing in Vancouver, BC

The term "fractional" or "fractionated" refers to dividing the laser beam into tiny columns of energy and precisely delivering them to the skin in a grid or pixelated pattern. This innovative approach reduces downtime compared to traditional resurfacing lasers. Revive Fractional™ can target deeper tissue layers while leveraging the natural healing response of the surrounding skin, resulting in faster recovery.

Concerns

Fine Line & Wrinkles

Scarring

Skin Texture

Treatment Time

30-60 minutes, depending on area treated

Downtime

Moderate downtime, with redness, swelling, and peeling typically lasting 7–10 days followed by continued skin improvement as collagen rebuilds over the coming weeks.

How It Works

The laser delivers precise columns of energy into the skin, stimulating collagen and resurfacing damaged tissue. As the skin heals, new collagen forms, improving skin texture, firmness, and overall quality over time.

Consultation & Planning

Fractional CO₂ laser is often performed as a single treatment, though some patients may benefit from additional sessions depending on skin concerns.
