Although, the process is painless, but a numbing cream can be applied on the treatment area after cleansing it so you don’t feel any discomfort. Fractional CO2 laser device is used to deliver CO2 laser beam in the fractionated manner. The laser beam is pixelated into thousands of tiny shafts of light, which penetrate in the skin layers deeply. This penetration causes tiny wounds.
