FRX Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Under Dr. Sagoo's direction, Solihull Medical Cosmetic Clinic is pleased to be the first facility in the UK to provide the medical-grade Fractional CO2 Skin Resurfacing laser, or FRX. With over 2000 laser resurfacing operations completed with remarkable outcomes on patients ranging in age from the 20s to the 70s, Dr. Sagoo has been practicing C02 laser resurfacing for over twenty years.
What is laser skin resurfacing?
When it comes to aesthetic skin resurfacing—a procedure that targets the superficial wrinkles that are frequently visible in ageing skin—the CO2 laser continues to be the best choice. Individuals with sun-damaged skin with uneven pigmentation, larger pores, or scars from face acne might also be good candidates for this therapy.
How does it work?
Fractional skin resurfacing damages the skin in treated regions in the form of microscopic dots, or pixel-like damage, while preserving the majority of the surrounding skin. The damage to the dermis may result in the production of new collagen, which can lessen the visibility of wrinkles, scars, and acne.
With fractional skin resurfacing, the healthy, untreated tissue functions as a natural bandage while the treated region heals, potentially accelerating the healing process compared to treating the entire area. As a consequence, there may be long-term collagen stimulation, which might cause the lines and wrinkles to soften over the course of the next few months.

What should I expect from my Fractional CO2 laser treatment?
Following the procedure, patients typically experience a burning sensation on their skin that lasts for one to four hours. After a four to five day break, skin may become pink or flushed. For as long as six months, the skin may continue to manufacture collagen and seem refreshed.
-
When can I see results?
Every therapy may result in improvements, depending on the degree of correction needed. It is recommended two to three treatments monthly. Following fractional skin resurfacing, the best results generally appear three months later since at this time collagen remodelling and skin tightness may continue.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
Deeper lines and wrinkles may be significantly softened, while dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles around the lips and eyes, and all of these things may be eliminated or lessened. Your skin's general texture and look may be tighter and firmer, and large pores may shrink in size.
After a portion of the outer layer of skin has been removed, the newly formed skin beneath may seem softer, smoother, and younger. Our numerous satisfied clients are telling us that using a fractional laser for less than an hour may remove up to 10 years off your face.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing and Sun Damage, Lines, and Wrinkles
Fractional skin resurfacing has been praised by many of our patients as a superb therapy for wrinkles, creases, and skin tightening caused by sun exposure. Fractional skin resurfacing might be the best course of action for you if you'd want to see a rapid and noticeable improvement in wrinkles and sagging skin.
Fractional skin resurfacing and acne
For moderate to severe acne and acne scarring, fractional skin resurfacing can be a great therapy. When previous treatments have failed, it may be useful in improving skin texture and reducing acne scarring with less recovery time.
