Fractional CO2 Laser for Alopecia Areata
Fractional CO₂ laser therapy is an advanced, non-surgical treatment used to stimulate hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata. This innovative approach works by creating controlled micro-channels in the scalp, encouraging the body’s natural healing response and improving the effectiveness of topical or injectable treatments.
How fractional CO₂ laser helps
Fractional CO₂ laser technology delivers precise micro-beams of energy into the scalp. This creates tiny treatment zones in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. The process:
-
Stimulates the scalp’s natural healing response
-
Encourages blood flow to hair follicles
-
Promotes collagen and tissue regeneration
-
Improves absorption of topical medications
-
Helps reactivate dormant hair follicles
This combined effect can support hair regrowth in affected areas.
