The Science of Renewal: How Fractional CO2 Works

​​​​​​​​​

Fractional CO2 is a cutting-edge anti-ageing breakthrough that guarantees high accuracy with significantly less downtime than traditional methods. At Bella Mai, we utilise a unique wavelength of light that interacts specifically with the water molecules in your skin tissue. Since human tissue is largely composed of water, this laser energy is highly absorbed, allowing us to precisely vaporise or "ablate" damaged skin layers.

  • Micro-Wound Stimulation: The laser creates microscopic columns of ablation while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. As the laser scans across your skin, it penetrates the epidermis to create controlled micro-wounds.

  • The Collagen Surge: These micro-wounds trigger your body’s natural production of new collagen and elastin. By removing layers of damaged skin, the laser reveals smoother, healthier skin underneath.

  • Gradual Transformation: It takes several months for new collagen to be stimulated and to mature; you will notice your skin getting tighter and smoother over a course of 3 to 6 months. ​​​​​​

Fractional vs Ablative: Why We Prioritise Your Safety​​​​​​​​​

 

At our Grays clinic, we are often asked about the difference between these two settings. While the same device is used, the parameters change based on your skin concern:

  • Ablative CO2: This is a focused, high-power beam used as a "cutting or burning" device. We use this specifically for Lesion Removal (Moles, Skin Tags, etc.). Using this for full-face resurfacing involves a much longer recovery (up to 6 months) and higher risks.

  • Fractional CO2: We spread the laser energy over a larger area with tiny gaps between the pulses. This "Fractional" approach is our choice for skin resurfacing because it provides the same dramatic results over 3 sessions (spaced 6–8 weeks apart) with significantly less downtime and a much lower risk of infection or complications.

 

Our client's safety is our main priority. By choosing the Fractional path, we provide a safer, more manageable journey to exceptional results.​​​

Our Anti-Ageing Targets​​​​​​​​​

 

Fractional CO2 is a versatile tool that has transformed the fields of aesthetics and dermatology.

 

At Bella Mai, we use it to target:

  • Deep Wrinkles & Rejuvenation: Total resurfacing to erase static lines and improve skin laxity.

  • Laser-Assisted Blepharoplasty: Non-surgical tightening of the upper and lower eye area to reduce sagging.

  • Sun Damage & Age Spots: Removing layers of pigmented, sun-damaged skin to reveal an even tone.

 

Every individual is different, and the effectiveness of the treatment will differ from client to client. Unfortunately, we are unable to treat sensitive skin with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis with this treatment.

Some darker Fitzpatrick skin types can also be more challenging to treat because the skin contains more melanin. Melanin in some skin tones is stimulated by trauma to the skin. The Fractional CO2 is an ablative laser that causes controlled skin trauma, aiming to encourage collagen growth. Due to this, it will stimulate pigment and cause pigmentation in some skin tones. Fitzpatrick's V and VI are unsuitable for the treatment.

We do require you to come for a follow-up appointment at 4-6 weeks to see how you are healing. You can contact us anytime before this is you have any questions.

You will need to book a consultation for this treatment before booking the treatment, so we can tailor your plan to your needs. Full aftercare product advice is given with every treatment. Strict adherence to aftercare is a must. You and your therapist will discuss and design a plan that best suits you.​​​
