This treatment uses a fractional carbon dioxide laser. This laser passes pulses of light down through to the deeper layers of the skin, causing controlled damage to skin cells and triggering the skin’s natural healing process and allowing new, fresh and healthy skin tissue to form.

The skin cells in the basal (deeper) layer grow back stronger, firmer and faster, to help your skin become smoother, tighter and more even in tone. The bonus? As the skin heals (and for weeks after) new healthy collagen is formed.

The most ideal and safest time to have advanced laser treatments, such as Fractional CO2 Laser, is April-November. This is due to less potential sun exposure during these months which could impact you getting the best results from your skin health investment.

Our signature treatment: the Caci Signature Laser Facial is great all year round including summer. But it's a laser—how does that work? This treatment combines a chemical peel (Level 1 Peel) and thermal laser (Fractional CO2 Laser) to trigger both increased skin cell turnover and skin healing resulting in a deep cleanse, exfoliation. A reset and refresh for the skin.

Fractional CO2 Laser treatment is great for acne scarring, especially deep ice pick scars. Fractional CO2 Laser works by using a laser that passes pulses of light down through to the deeper layers of the skin, causing controlled damage to the cells below and triggering the skin's natural healing process. This process allows the cells in the basal (deeper) layer to be trained to grow back stronger, firmer, and faster. This helps the healing of acne scarring as your skin becomes smoother, tighter and more even in tone.

Fractional CO2 Laser treatment is great for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting smoother, more even texture. This works by triggering the highest wound response which results in training the cells in the deeper layer of your skin to grow back stronger, firmer and faster so skin becomes smoother, tighter and more even in tone.

Fractional CO2 Laser is not painful but a mild prickling sensation can be felt during the treatment. The laser we use has a cooling tip to make your treatment more comfortable. Immediately after your treatment the skin may be red and feel a bit hot and sensitive. 

A Fractional CO2 Laser treatment usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour depending on the areas being treated.

Fractional CO2 Laser is suitable for most people. Those who have pigmentation, acne scarring or wrinkles and fine lines can expect to see the most dramatic results.

Fractional CO2 Laser treatments are not recommended for those using medications that increase photosensitivity, who are undergoing chemotherapy or have used Accutane in the last 6 months to a year. Fractional Co2 laser treatments are also not recommended when pregnant or breastfeeding.

Your treatment provider will discuss if Fractional CO2 Laser is suitable for you during your complimentary consultation. 

A casual Fractional CO2 Laser treatment is $870. Customers on a Reformaskin membership save on every treatment. Our advanced options start from $69 per week on our payment plan.

As Fractional CO2 Laser treatment involves causing controlled damage to the skin, afterwards, you will notice evenly spaced micro wounds of tiny dots on the skin. Immediately after treatment, your skin will feel hot and sensitive. Once the initial inflammation has settled, some customers report it can be a little itchy.

We will supply you with aftercare advice to help protect your skin and speed up the healing process. One week on, you may see redness and slight swelling - these are normal side effects and only temporary.

Caci customers often comment on obvious results after their first Fractional CO2 Laser treatment. At Caci we recommend having 4-5 treatments every 4-5 weeks to ensure long lasting and real results.

On our Reformaskin membership we also prep and support the skin with our skin conditioning treatments and at home skincare to get the best results from your advanced treatments.

There are very few side effects associated with Fractional CO2 Laser treatments, but your treatment provider will talk through the risks and possible side effects before your treatment. The most common side effect of Fractional CO2 Laser is redness and slight swelling a few days after treatment - these are normal side effects and only temporary. Your treatment provider will provide you with aftercare advice to look after your skin post-treatment.
