Medically Reviewed By Dr. Preeti Saraswat, MBBS, ABHRS | Last updated: May 27, 2026

Acne can become the bane of existence for those who suffer from it. Almost every teenager in this world has to go through a terrible phase of acne during puberty. But for some people, especially those with oily skin, acne can be a lifelong condition. When the skin pores get clogged due to dead skin cells and high sebum production, it can lead to a nasty case of acne. This further results in pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. No one likes to see their face marked by ugly scars. This is why you should opt for advanced acne scar treatment to get clear, flawless skin.

What is Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment?

Laser treatment is one of the most effective ways to deal with acne scars. The fractional CO2 laser shoots microbeams on the acne-affected area of the skin to create tiny puncture wounds. Fractional CO2 laser treatment significantly improves the quality of scars through a controlled thermal injury-induced healing mechanism (1). These are then allowed to heal through the natural process for new skin to develop. The body produces collagen and epithelium to heal wounds naturally. As the wounds get covered by a new layer of skin, the acne marks get visibly reduced or completely gone. The new skin that grows has a glowing and healthier look. The fractional CO2 laser technique is one of the best acne scar treatments.

What are the Advantages of Fractional CO2 Laser?

Destroys the acne-causing bacteria

Since the fractional CO2 laser directly targets the acne-affected area, the high temperature of the beam completely destroys the acne-causing bacteria under the skin layers. This ensures that the acne will not come back again in the future.

Gets rid of deep scarring

The fractional CO2 laser acne scar treatment gives you the best results within just a few sessions (2). The microbeams get deep into your skin to jumpstart the collagen production, which significantly reduces the visible scars on your skin. Additionally, it also gives you firmer and more radiant skin.

Painless and Quick procedure

Laser treatments on the skin are completely safe, painless, and a quick procedure. The fractional CO2 laser targets only the affected area without harming the surrounding skin tissues. The intensity of the laser is customized as per the patient’s individual skin type, skin tone, and the severity of the condition. It is a quick process without any serious side effects.

Suitable for everyone

Fractional CO2 laser treatments are suitable for everyone, irrespective of their age, skin type, and acne condition. Anyone who is 18 years of age or above is eligible for the procedure. But to get the best results from your acne scar treatment, it is advised to get a professional consultation from an experienced skin doctor.
