Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing For Acne Scars in Singapore
How can the Fractional eCO2 Acne Scar Resurfacing Laser help you?
Dr Edwin believes that fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing is the gold standard for treating deep acne scars in Singapore.
Acne scars are formed when there is loss of tissue and collagen from inflammation due to acne.
As such, the key aim of Acne Scar treatment is to use laser energy to stimulate collagen production to restore it's loss.
How does it work?
The eCO2 laser uses Controlled Chaos Technology (CCT™), an advanced system which increases safety, reduces discomfort and accelerates healing time.
During the treatment, precise, micro-ablative Columns (MACs) are created. This tiny areas of "controlled damage" stimulates the body's natural healing process and increases production of new collagen and renewal of skin cells.
What benefits do i get from doing Fractional CO2 Laser treatments in Singapore?

Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment Experience
Depending on severity of scars, a strong numbing cream will be applied for between 20 to 30 minutes.
Each laser session is split into 2 parts. During the first part, Dr Edwin will use a high powered setting to target each individual acne scar. For the second part, a lower power is used for the rest of the face to improve skin texture and for skin rejuvenation.
After laser, the face will be red and tiny scabs will be observed where the Micro Ablative Columns were created.
Downtime is approximately 7 days. Treatments should be done once a month.
Don't lose hope if the Fractional CO2 Laser treatment in Singapore doesn’t give you immediate results. Sometimes, multiple treatments are needed before good results can be attained.
Dr Edwin recommends patients to prepare the skin 2 weeks before laser with a specially formulated Vitamin C serum and Anti-pigmentation cream. Post-laser, an Intensive Recovery Cream is recommended to speed up recovery.
A treatment typically last between 15-30mins, depending on the condition or treatment area.
Is it painful?
Numbing cream will be applied before the procedure for 20 to 30 minutes. During the procedure, discomfort will be minimal and at most, pricking sensations may be experienced.
How many treatments are required?
Ideal results are seen after 5 sessions.
Is there any downtime?
Post-treatment, the downtime is about 5 to 7 days and consists of some redness and scabs on the layer of the skin. No other side effects are to be expected.
