Fractional CO2 laser

Fractional Co2 Laser Treatment in Hyderabad

Fractional CO2 laser treatment is a non-surgical procedure that uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to resurface the skin and improve the appearance of acne scars. The laser creates tiny, evenly spaced microthermal zones (MTZs) in the skin, which stimulate collagen production and cause the skin to regenerate and heal.

Fractional CO2 laser treatment is effective in improving the appearance of acne scars, as well as other skin imperfections, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. The downtime after the procedure is usually a few days to a week, during which time the skin may be red, swollen, and flaky.

Step by Step Procedure of Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment at Ambrosia, Hyderabad

Our trusted method for this procedure is:

Consultation

The pre-procedure consultation is important for both the patient and doctor in terms of understanding the issue at hand, the expectations and the factors that need to be considered for the treatment. You should come to the consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions, drug allergies, medical treatments you have received, previous surgeries and medications you are taking. It is important for you to provide complete and accurate information.

To help arrive at realistic expectations, you can see the typical clinical pictures of patients to satisfy yourself about the procedure and ask any questions regarding the results.

Client Testimonials

I had lovely laugh lines that made me look attractive when I smiled, or so my friends said. But it worried me that my skin was getting less supple as I grew older. Having read and heard so much about skin tightening treatments, I decided to give it a shot. My first consultation at Ambrosia helped me understand what to expect and how to care for my skin post procedure. Dr. Priti’s thoroughness during the examination was very reassuring too. I thoroughly recommend everyone who is concerned about their skin looking uncared for as they age. Ambrosia totally helped me remind myself that age is only a number. Thank you Dr. Priti for your magic.

My teenage acne had left a lot of scars on my face. That was all I saw when I looked in the mirror. While searching for treatment, I came across Ambrosia and decided to check out what could be done about it. My first impression when I walked in was one of complete ease with the warmth of the staff and the calm atmosphere. The initial consultation helped me understand what can be done to gradually remove the scars on my face as well as what I needed to do post-procedure. I am so happy with the results and go out of my way to mention Ambrosia whenever someone points out how smooth and beautiful my skin looks now. Thank you Ambrosia!

I had broken my nose as a child after a fall. It was misshapen because of that. The twisted nose also led to breathing problems. Searching for solutions, I came across Ambrosia Clinic and the procedures they offer to correct that. I was suggested surgery. I am thankful to the team of plastic surgeons who helped correct my nose as well as the breathing problems. My recovery time was minimal and I am able to lead a normal life since then. A big thank you to the great team at Ambrosia.

I had skin pigmentation on my face. It always made me conscious and I would hide it with layers of makeup. My friend suggested I meet Dr. Priti and do something about it instead of hiding behind makeup. I did not know what to expect, but was totally blown away by her warmth and the modern set up at Ambrosia. She not only explained the procedures I could get done but also what to expect at each stage during recovery. I thoroughly recommend Ambrosia and especially Dr. Priti to everyone.
