What Is the Mixto Fractional CO₂ Laser?
The Mixto Fractional CO₂ Laser is an advanced resurfacing treatment that uses a carbon dioxide laser to create microscopic channels in the skin. These channels stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen production and skin regeneration. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
Unlike traditional CO₂ lasers, Mixto Fractional technology targets only a fraction of the skin’s surface at a time, which significantly reduces downtime while still delivering dramatic results.
Common Concerns Treated with Mixto Fractional CO₂ Laser
This versatile laser can address a wide variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and age spots
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Uneven texture or enlarged pores
- Skin laxity and crepiness
- Hyperpigmentation or discoloration
Many patients describe their results as a “reset” for the skin—restoring a fresh, vibrant complexion that feels renewed from within.
Pre-Treatment Protocol
To ensure optimal results and minimize risks, our team provides detailed pre-procedure instructions. Some key steps include:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before your treatment.
- Discontinue retinoids and glycolic acid products for several days prior.
- Hydrate well and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
- Antiviral medication may be prescribed if you are prone to cold sores.
Nurse Teresa Cardenas will review your medical history, skin type, and skincare habits to customize your laser settings and ensure your skin is properly prepped.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
During your session, a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. The procedure typically takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Patients often describe the sensation as a series of warm, prickling pulses across the skin.
Immediately After:
- Expect redness, warmth, and mild swelling similar to a sunburn.
- You may notice “grid-like” marks — these fade as the skin heals.
In the Following Days:
- Peeling and flaking will occur as new skin regenerates.
- Most patients experience 3–7 days of downtime, depending on treatment intensity.
- Use only the recommended post-care products to keep skin hydrated and protected.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and always wear broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Full results develop over the next few weeks as collagen remodels and the skin continues to improve.
Post-Treatment Care
Your skin will be especially sensitive following treatment. To promote healing and prevent complications:
- Keep skin clean and moisturized with approved post-procedure products.
- Avoid picking, scrubbing, or exfoliating peeling skin.
- Skip makeup for several days until redness subsides.
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 48–72 hours.
- Continue sun protection daily for long-term results.
Our team will schedule a follow-up visit to assess your progress and guide you through the next phase of care.
