CO2 fractional laser is an advanced cosmetic treatment technology that is widely used for skin reconstruction, anti-aging, freckle removal, and treatment of acne scars. However, despite its significant efficacy for many patients, not everyone is suitable for CO2 fractional laser treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to confirm whether you are suitable for such treatment before treatment.
The skin and body of pregnant and breastfeeding women are more sensitive at this stage, and any laser treatment may bring unnecessary risks. Laser treatment may affect hormone levels, which may have a potential impact on the health of pregnancy or breastfeeding. Therefore, pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to avoid CO2 fractional laser treatment.
Skin infections (such as skin ulcers, herpes, fungal infections, etc.) can affect the health of the skin, and receiving laser treatment may aggravate the infection or cause complications at the treatment site. Therefore, people with these skin diseases should not receive CO2 fractional laser treatment until the skin is fully recovered.
People with weak immune systems (such as those with HIV, cancer, and those taking immunosuppressive drugs for a long time) may not be able to effectively fight off any infections during treatment. CO2 fractional laser treatment may stimulate the skin healing process, but for people with low immunity, healing after treatment may be slower and more prone to infection or other complications.
Some patients have sensitive skin and are prone to allergic reactions, especially to irritating laser treatments. If you have a history of allergies or have had severe allergic reactions to other skin treatments, it is recommended to fully communicate with a professional doctor before receiving CO2 fractional laser treatment to avoid potential allergic reactions.
For people with dark skin, CO2 fractional laser may cause skin pigmentation (excessive or reduced pigmentation). Although modern CO2 laser technology has been improved to a certain extent, dark skin may still face higher treatment risks. The doctor will evaluate whether the treatment plan is suitable based on the patient’s skin type.
People with heart disease and diabetes may face a longer healing process, and their skin may be more fragile and susceptible to laser treatment. For these patients, laser treatment may bring risks of poor healing and complications, so special caution is required.
If you have recently undergone other skin treatments (such as chemical peels, intense light therapy, etc.), you may need to wait until your skin is fully recovered before CO2 fractionated laser treatment. Overtreatment may cause adverse reactions such as irritation and redness on the skin, affecting the treatment effect.
Certain drugs (such as some antibiotics, diuretics, etc.) make the skin more sensitive to light. If you are taking these drugs when receiving CO2 fractionated laser treatment, it may cause your skin to overreact. Therefore, before receiving laser treatment, be sure to tell your doctor what drugs you are taking.
