Step up your skin treatments with CO2 laser resurfacing treatments. With a CO2 treatments, you can expect between 1-7 days of rough micro-crusting skin depending on whether you had the Frax Glow or Frax Pro treatment. Your skin will feel a bit rough and you can expect a bit of redness in your skin between 3-10 days depending on the intensity of the treatment.

This is the perfect laser resurfacing treatment to stimulate collagen on a superficial/medium level and give your skin some new life. In most cases for those wanting more intensive treatments we have our Dual Fractional RF & CO2 Treatment.

This level of treatment you should already be on a high-grade cosmeceutical skincare brand prior to this treatment. This is an important step that needs to be adhered to. Please book your consultation with Jess to discuss further.

Best areas to treat with this treatment are: Face, neck, and back of hands.

The most advanced skin rejuvenation treatment you can have!

By combining two technologies in one treatment, your skin gets superficial and deeper heating coagulation. Intense superficial heating stimulation is delivered via the CO2 fractional laser while the micro-needle fractional RF delivers deeper heat diffusion and higher volumetric heating.

When the Fraxis Duo is used on your face it can treat:

• Pore size

• Skin tone and texture

• Acne Scars and general scars

• Wrinkles and crêpe skin

Used on your body, the Fraxis Duo can effectively treat:

• Stretch marks

• Keratosis Pilaris

• Scars

• Hyperhidrosis

Please book your complimentary consultation with Morgyn to discuss having this treatment.

At Medwell Clinic, we use the Fraxis Duo, which combines the power of a fractional CO2 laser with radiofrequency microneedling (RF microneedling).  The two modalities can be used on their own or combined as alternating treatments. Treatments combining Co2 laser with RF microneedling provide a better and more enhanced therapeutic outcome than CO2 on its own. You can expect improvement in skin aging, sun damage, stretch marks, acne scar and many other skin concerns.

• skin tightening and firming
• reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
• smoother skin texture
• reduction in enlarged pores
• improved appearance of acne scarring 

Full face CO2 Laser and RF microneedling cost $799. Four treatments are recommended, and if you buy a package of 4, there is a 20% discount.

So how do these two treatments stack up, and what are the key differences and similarities? To understand the difference in how the fractional CO2 laser works compared to RF microneedling, you must understand how the different technologies work. Both CO2 and RF microneedling work on the premise of creating a controlled injury to your skin – breaking down scar collagen and damaged areas.

In making this injury, they activate your skin’s healing function, releasing factors in the skin which result in healthy new collagen being laid down. However, while CO2 Lasers works on the total thickness of the skin (epidermis and dermis), RF microneedling works primarily in the dermis. So you would think that CO2 lasers are superior? Not necessarily, and let us explain why.

CO2 lasers affect epidermis and dermis: When applied to the skin, the CO2 laser creates controlled injury in a thin column through the full thickness of the skin.   This is beneficial because it establishes collagen contraction and skin tightening. But it is the effect on the dermis stimulates your skin to mount the repair response and lay down healthy collagen.

RF Microneedling creates a more selective dermal response: With RF microneedling treatments, on the other hand, needles are inserted into the skin before radiofrequency energy is discharged. Consequently, the surface of the skin (epidermis) only receives microneedle pricks. The injury to break down scars or damaged tissue occurs at the needle tip in the dermis. Thus, the radiofrequency creates a cone of injury, with the broadest part deeper in the dermis required.

However, it is often more beneficial to use combinations of fractional CO2 and RF microneedling except in people with darker skin types. Though the RF microneedling is safe to use in all skin types (fair to dark), CO2 laser should not be used in dark skin types because of the risk of hypo or hyperpigmentation after treatment.
