If you’ve been researching CO2 laser treatments in Penticton, chances are you’re looking for a powerful solution to address wrinkles, texture, acne scars, or sun damage. CO2 lasers have long been considered the gold standard for deep resurfacing – but there’s a new generation of technology that offers beautiful results with less downtime and more precision.
At South Okanagan Laser & Skin Centre, we offer Fotona Deep Fractional Laser Resurfacing, a next-generation fractional laser treatment using ERBIUM (Er:YAG) laser technology. Deep Frac offers many of the same skin-rejuvenating benefits as CO2 laser, without the long recovery or discomfort.
What Is a CO2 Laser?
CO2 lasers work by removing layers of skin with intense laser light. It’s a powerful ablative treatment that’s highly effective for deep wrinkles, pigmentation, and scarring. However, the strength of CO2 comes with a cost – extended downtime, a higher risk of pigmentation changes (especially for deeper skin tones), and a longer, more uncomfortable recovery.
What Is Fotona Deep Frac?
Fotona Deep Frac is a non-ablative skin resurfacing treatment using advanced What Is Fotona Deep Frac?
Fotona Deep Frac is an ABLATIVE SKIN RESURFACING TREATMENT using Advanced ER:YAG Laser Technology. Unlike CO2 lasers, Deep Frac allows for precise removal of damaged skin layers while leaving surrounding tissue intact to promote faster healing. This process stimulates collagen production, remodels the skin, and delivers smoother, more youthful-looking results.
Here’s how it works:
TISSUE ABLATION & COLLAGEN STIMULATION: The Er:YAG laser precisely removes micro-layers of damaged skin, while stimulating the body’s natural regenerative response.
TARGETED TREATMENT: Only damaged areas are treated, while surrounding tissue supports faster recovery.
CONTROLLED RESULTS: Treatments can be tailored to be light and refreshing or deeper and more corrective—depending on your skin goals.
