10,600nm fractional ablative laser performed under the supervision of MOH-accredited consultant dermatologists at DermAlly Singapore, with Asian-skin-aware protocols for one of dermatology’s most intensive resurfacing treatments.
Fractional CO2 laser is an ablative resurfacing laser used in dermatology for more intensive skin remodelling and textural resurfacing. It uses a 10,600nm wavelength of light that is strongly absorbed by water within skin tissue.
Because skin contains a high amount of water, the laser can remove targeted portions of tissue while also generating controlled thermal effects beneath the surface. This combination is what makes the fractional CO2 laser distinct from lighter, non-ablative resurfacing approaches.
The term “ablative” refers to the removal or vaporisation of portions of skin tissue during treatment. Compared to non-ablative lasers, ablative resurfacing generally produces more visible structural change, but also involves greater inflammation, longer downtime, and a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), particularly in Asian skin.
For this reason, the fractional CO2 laser is typically reserved for select cases where deeper resurfacing is deemed justified, rather than used routinely for milder concerns.
Rather than treating the entire skin surface uniformly, the fractional CO2 laser delivers energy in microscopic treatment zones (MTZs) separated by surrounding untreated skin. This fractional delivery pattern allows healing to occur more efficiently compared to older fully ablative resurfacing approaches. This method is also referred to clinically as fractional photothermolysis.
CO2 laser technology was first introduced in the 1960s as a surgical tool rather than a cosmetic treatment. Early medical use focused on soft-tissue procedures where controlled tissue removal and coagulation were useful, including lesion ablation, mole removal, and milia extraction.
Over time, dermatologists observed that the healing response following controlled CO2 laser injury also produced gradual changes in skin texture and collagen structure. This eventually led to the development of CO2 laser resurfacing treatments for acne scars, wrinkles, and photoaged skin.
Earlier resurfacing methods were often fully ablative and came with prolonged recovery. Fractional delivery systems were later developed to achieve a more manageable balance between resurfacing intensity and downtime, which is why modern CO2 laser treatments in Singapore today use a fractional approach.
The technology’s longstanding role in both procedural dermatology and resurfacing is also part of why dermatologist-led clinics are particularly familiar with its healing behaviour, risk profile, and limitations.
Fractional CO2 laser creates microscopic treatment channels within the skin while simultaneously generating surrounding zones of thermal effect. Rather than producing immediate cosmetic change, the treatment initiates a longer remodelling process that continues during recovery.
Over the following weeks and months, the skin undergoes progressive restructuring associated with remodelling of collagen and elastin. This is why the outcomes of resurfacing after a CO2 laser treatment for skin rejuvenation continue to evolve even after the visible peeling phase has settled.
Because the treatment is ablative, the inflammatory response is also more substantial than with non-ablative resurfacing methods. This is part of why downtime, aftercare, and patient selection are crucial considerations with fractional CO2 laser treatments.
Earlier fully ablative CO2 resurfacing approaches removed the entire treatment surface in a single pass, often resulting in prolonged downtime and a higher risk of complications.
Modern fractional resurfacing instead distributes treatment into microscopic zones separated by untreated skin. In practice, this creates a more predictable healing profile and shorter recovery period compared to traditional fully ablative resurfacing.
DermAlly provides fractional CO2 laser treatment, as it is better suited to Asian skin, which typically requires a more careful balance among resurfacing intensity, recovery, and pigmentation risk.
Fractional CO2 laser is typically recommended for the following skin concerns.
One of the most common reasons patients seek lasers for acne scars in Singapore is persistent atrophic scarring after inflammatory acne has settled.
Fractional CO2 laser is primarily used for depressed scars involving collagen loss and uneven skin texture rather than redness or active breakouts. This includes:
Not all scar types respond equally to resurfacing alone. Tethered rolling scars may first require subcision to release fibrous bands beneath the skin, while deeper ice-pick scars are sometimes treated with TCA CROSS before laser resurfacing is considered.
In practice, acne scar management is often multimodal rather than dependent on a single laser.
At DermAlly, a consultation with our dermatologist typically involves assessing acne scar morphology, skin type, pigmentation risk, and downtime tolerance before determining whether fractional CO2 laser alone is sufficient or should be paired with other treatments to achieve the desired result.
The fractional CO2 laser is also used to address broader surface irregularities, including skin texture and roughness.
This may include:
Because the treatment affects both the epidermis and superficial dermis, resurfacing can gradually alter how the skin reflects light and feels to the touch during healing and remodelling.
Some patients undergo CO2 laser treatment to address visibly enlarged pores, particularly in the T-zone or areas affected by previous acne.
This concern is often associated with:
Results vary depending on baseline skin oiliness, acne activity, and collagen loss. Patients with ongoing inflammatory acne may require acne control before resurfacing is considered.
A CO2 laser can also be used to treat static wrinkles and textural changes associated with photoageing. This can include:
Compared to lighter resurfacing approaches, the fractional CO2 laser is generally considered when more visible structural change is present, and the patient can commit to a longer recovery period.
Fractional CO2 laser is sometimes used for older stretch marks, particularly pale or atrophic stretch marks known as striae alba. These lesions are often more resistant to treatment than newer red stretch marks. Multiple sessions are usually required, and improvement tends to be gradual rather than dramatic after a single treatment.
However, depending on location, skin type, and the degree of textural change, some patients may be better suited to microneedling. This is particularly relevant in darker skin types or body areas where a lower inflammatory profile and shorter recovery may be preferred.
Beyond resurfacing, CO2 laser technology is also used in dermatology for selected benign skin lesions, such as:
However, not every raised lesion should automatically be treated cosmetically. Certain lesions, including actinic keratoses and other potentially pre-malignant growths, require medical assessment first.
Book a consultation with our dermatologists for a diagnosis-led assessment and personalised treatment approach.
A fractional CO2 laser is not automatically suitable for every patient or every stage of skin healing. Because it creates a more intensive inflammatory response than non-ablative treatments, certain skin conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors can increase the risk of complications or prolong recovery.
Situations where CO2 resurfacing may not be the most appropriate option include:
At DermAlly, we may recommend a non-ablative pathway when CO2 is more aggressive than your skin needs.
One of the main differences between treating Asian skin and lighter skin types is how pigment cells respond after inflammation has already occurred.
In Singapore, many patients fall within Fitzpatrick III-V skin types, which generally carry a higher tendency toward PIH after aggressive resurfacing procedures. This means that technically successful CO2 laser treatment can still result in unwanted post-inflammatory darkening if inflammation is not managed carefully.
This is particularly relevant to ablative resurfacing procedures, such as fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, in which the epidermis is deliberately subjected to thermal injury as part of the treatment.
At DermAlly, PIH prevention is built into the treatment process itself. This may include:
A fractional CO2 laser is often only one part of a larger dermatology treatment plan. Different skin concerns involve different layers and biological processes, which is why multiple modalities are sometimes sequenced together rather than relying on resurfacing alone.
Patients with tethered or mixed-pattern acne scars often require more than resurfacing alone. Subcision may be used to manually release deeper scar attachments beneath the skin, while RF microneedling can be incorporated to extend dermal remodelling with a lower epidermal injury profile.
In practice, a CO2 laser alone may not achieve the most balanced result in complex scarring patterns.
Some patients present with both textural ageing and pigment irregularities simultaneously.
In these situations, pico laser treatments may be performed before or after CO2 resurfacing, depending on whether pigment stabilisation or textural resurfacing is prioritised.
Ageing skin does not always involve texture alone. Some patients also have visible facial vessels, background redness, or flushing. In these cases, a yellow laser may be used to target vascular components separately, while a fractional CO2 laser focuses more on surface texture and structural remodelling. These treatments are usually performed on different treatment days rather than combined simultaneously.
Stretch marks often require a longer-term treatment strategy rather than a single resurfacing session. Depending on the body area and skin type, fractional CO2 laser may be combined with topical regimens and, in some cases, RF microneedling approaches.
Active inflammatory conditions such as acne or rosacea usually need to be stabilised before resurfacing begins. Proceeding too early while inflammation is ongoing can alter healing behaviour and increase the risk of complications during recovery.
Your consultation begins with an assessment by an MOH-accredited consultant dermatologist. This includes:
This stage is also where realistic expectations are discussed. Fractional CO2 laser can produce significant improvement in textural concerns, but the goal is improvement rather than complete erasure.
If resurfacing is not considered the most appropriate option, alternative pathways may be recommended instead. Patients who proceed are typically given a written treatment plan outlining preparation, aftercare, and expected recovery.
Many patients undergo skin preparation before a CO2 laser treatment, particularly if there is a history of pigmentation or reactive skin behaviour.
This may involve melanin-suppressing topical regimens using ingredient categories such as:
Patients are also usually advised to maintain stricter sun avoidance in the weeks leading up to treatment.
Potentially irritating active ingredients, including retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C products, may need to be paused shortly before the procedure, depending on skin sensitivity and barrier condition.
Patients with a history of cold sores may also require antiviral prophylaxis before treatment.
On the day of treatment, the skin is first cleansed thoroughly before topical anaesthesia is applied. Numbing cream is typically left on for around 30 to 45 minutes, although some patients undergoing more intensive or full-face resurfacing may also require nerve blocks for additional comfort.
Protective eye shields are used during the procedure. Clinical photographs may also be taken for medical documentation with patient consent.
The CO2 laser procedure itself usually takes around 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area, resurfacing intensity, and whether treatment is focal or full-face.
Most patients describe the sensation as a combination of heat and snapping or prickling, although discomfort is generally manageable with anaesthesia.
Immediately afterwards, the skin commonly appears red, swollen, and warm. Pinpoint bleeding, oozing, or a frosted appearance may also occur depending on treatment depth and density.
Healing serums, cooling measures, or post-procedure dressings may then be applied to reduce discomfort and support the initial recovery phase.
Patients are given a detailed wound care protocol to follow at home after treatment. This often includes:
Strict sun avoidance is particularly important during recovery and often continues for at least four to six weeks after treatment.
Follow-up is usually scheduled within 1 to 2 weeks after treatment to assess healing progress and monitor for complications such as prolonged inflammation or pigment changes.
Depending on the indication being treated, patients may continue topical pigment-control regimens during recovery. Decisions regarding additional resurfacing sessions are typically based on how the skin responds over time rather than on fixed, preset treatment numbers.
Recovery after fractional CO2 laser is often more noticeable than patients expect, particularly during the first week. Patients typically underestimate days one to seven of recovery as well.
While the skin surface usually closes within several days, visible redness, swelling, and changes in texture can persist beyond the initial healing phase.
At DermAlly, we generally advise planning around downtime in advance, including work commitments, social events, gym sessions, swimming, and prolonged outdoor exposure.
| Stage | What to Expect | Appearance & Sensation |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Immediate post-treatment | Intense redness and swelling are common. The skin often feels hot and tight, similar to a severe sunburn. Some pinpoint bleeding, oozing, or rawness may occur depending on treatment intensity. |
| Days 2-3 | Initial healing phase | Redness remains prominent, while swelling peaks typically before gradually settling. Tiny brown crusts or dots begin forming across the treated areas as the microthermal zones dry and heal. |
| Days 4-7 | Resurfacing and peeling | The brown dots gradually flake off as resurfacing progresses. Skin may feel dry, tight, rough, or sandpaper-like during this period. Pinkness usually remains underneath the peeling skin. |
| Weeks 1-3 | Residual pinkness | Most visible peeling has resolved, but the new skin underneath often remains sensitive and reactive. A rosy or pink tone may persist for several weeks, especially after deeper resurfacing sessions. |
| Months 2-3 | Ongoing remodelling phase | Surface healing is largely complete, but deeper collagen remodelling continues beneath the skin. Improvements in texture and skin quality become more noticeable progressively over time. |
Recovering from a fractional CO2 laser in Singapore comes with a slightly different set of considerations compared to cooler or drier climates.
On the one hand, humidity can be helpful during healing. Because the skin loses water more easily after resurfacing, Singapore’s humid environment may reduce excessive dryness and support barrier recovery during the early healing phase.
At the same time, heat and humidity also create conditions that favour sweat, friction, and bacterial overgrowth.
During the first several days after treatment, the skin surface remains vulnerable as re-epithelialisation is ongoing, so hygiene becomes particularly important.
During recovery, patients are generally advised to:
These precautions are not simply about comfort. Excessive heat, sweating, and irritation can prolong inflammation during recovery and potentially increase the risk of delayed healing or pigmentation complications afterwards.
After a fractional CO2 laser, the way the skin is managed during recovery can influence not only comfort, but also pigmentation behaviour and healing quality afterwards. The first one to two weeks are usually the most intensive from an aftercare perspective.
During the initial healing phase, the focus is on protecting the skin barrier and reducing unnecessary irritation. Patients are typically advised to:
At this stage, the skin may feel hot, tight, swollen, or raw. Pinpoint crusting and oozing can also occur depending on treatment intensity.
Strict sun protection is important very early in recovery after the CO2 laser. This usually includes:
Sunscreen alone is usually insufficient during the first seven to 10 days, particularly in Singapore’s climate, where UV and heat exposure remain high year-round.
During this stage, the skin typically begins resurfacing more visibly. Patients are generally advised to continue:
Brown crusts or dots, sometimes referred to online as “fractional CO2 laser scabs”, will gradually lift and flake away naturally. Do not pick at these areas; doing so can increase the risk of scarring, prolonged redness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
By the second week, most of the active peeling has settled, although pink or red skin commonly persists beneath the surface. At this stage:
Residual redness usually continues improving gradually during this period. Patients may slowly reintroduce regular skincare, depending on how the skin is tolerating the recovery process. Active ingredients such as retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C should be restarted gradually.
Although surface healing is largely complete by this stage, deeper collagen remodelling continues beneath the skin. Final resurfacing outcomes generally emerge progressively over the following months rather than immediately after peeling resolves.
Throughout recovery, patients are usually advised to avoid:
With a fractional CO2 laser, outcomes depend not just on the machine itself, but on how the treatment is calibrated for the individual patient.
Three major variables influence both results and complication risk:
These settings are not applied identically across every patient. Skin type, scar pattern, oiliness, pigmentation tendency, and real-time skin response during treatment all influence how parameters are adjusted.
Standardised protocols applied without patient-specific calibration are a recognised contributor to uneven outcomes, PIH, and avoidable complications after ablative resurfacing.
This is why MOH-accredited dermatologist supervision matters. With aggressive resurfacing procedures, it is not just about owning the machine, but understanding how skin responds to it.
Fractional CO2 laser intentionally creates controlled skin injury, so visible inflammation and recovery are expected parts of treatment rather than signs that something has gone wrong. Potential risks and side effects include:
Your risk profile, recovery expectations, and pigmentation considerations are reviewed in detail during consultation before DermAlly dermatologists proceed with the CO2 laser.
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Treatable Areas | Face, neck, hands, and selected body areas, depending on indication |
| Session Duration | Around 30-90 minutes, including preparation and numbing time |
| Typical Treatment Course | Usually 1-5 sessions spaced approximately 4-8 weeks apart |
| Social Downtime | Typically, 5-10 days per session, depending on treatment intensity |
| Full Healing Timeline | Around 4-6 weeks for the skin barrier to stabilise more fully |
| Realistic Outcome | Significant improvement in scars, wrinkles, pores, or texture changes rather than complete erasure |
| Suitability | Determined during consultation and may not be appropriate for all skin types or concerns |
Smaller focal treatments may start at over $500 per session, while deeper or more extensive full-face resurfacing sessions can range from $1,500 to $2,000 or more, depending on the treatment plan.
Typically, the cost of a fractional CO2 laser treatment in Singapore is consultation-led and depends on factors such as the treatment area, resurfacing depth, session intensity, and overall treatment complexity.
Combination procedures involving subcision, RF microneedling, or additional laser modalities may also affect overall treatment cost.
In Singapore, aesthetic laser treatments such as fractional CO2 resurfacing are generally not covered by insurance or MediSave. Final suitability and pricing are determined during the consultation, following skin assessment and treatment planning.
Singapore’s Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics (PHMC) Act and Healthcare Services Act (HCSA) restrict the use of before-and-after photography in medical advertising. DermAlly fully adheres to these guidelines.
During consultation, our dermatologists discuss realistic expectations based on your specific pigmentation type, skin tone, and CO2 laser treatment plan. We support these guidelines as part of patient-centred ethical practice.
The fractional CO2 laser is only one category of resurfacing treatment. Here are other options in comparison.
RF microneedling, or fractional RF microneedling, is a non-ablative treatment that delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin through insulated needles rather than removing portions of the epidermis.
Compared to fractional CO2 laser treatments, RF microneedling generally involves:
For moderate acne scarring or for patients at higher risk of pigmentation, RF microneedling may sometimes represent the safer treatment option in Asian skin.
Pico laser and fractional CO2 laser address different categories of skin concerns.
Fractional CO2 laser primarily targets:
Pico laser treatments are more commonly used for:
In simple terms, a CO2 laser is a resurfacing tool, while a pico laser is primarily a pigment-targeting tool. These treatments are therefore sometimes sequenced together rather than treated as direct substitutes.
Yellow laser treatments primarily target vascular structures such as superficial blood vessels and redness.
The fractional CO2 laser instead focuses more on textural resurfacing and structural remodelling. Patients with both redness and textural ageing may therefore require different modalities for different components of the same concern.
Subcision is not a resurfacing laser treatment. It is a manual technique used to release tethered scar bands beneath the skin, particularly in rolling acne scars.
Because a CO2 laser cannot mechanically release these fibrous attachments on its own, subcision is often combined with resurfacing procedures in patients with deeper or more complex acne scarring patterns.
At DermAlly, treatment selection is not based on which laser is the strongest, but on matching the right modality to the biology of the concern being treated.
At DermAlly, our fractional CO2 laser treatments are performed under the supervision of MOH-accredited consultant dermatologists. Before recommending resurfacing, we assess whether the CO2 laser is the most appropriate tool for the concern being treated, rather than assuming every scar or textural issue requires aggressive resurfacing.
Our treatment protocols are also designed specifically for Asian skin. This includes:
We also believe in discussing downtime honestly. Fractional CO2 laser can produce significant textural improvement, but it also involves visible recovery, inflammation, and a meaningful healing period that should not be understated.
For more complex concerns, resurfacing is often integrated into broader treatment plans involving:
DermAlly has two clinic locations in Singapore:
Suitability and treatment planning are determined during the consultation, following a skin assessment and a discussion of recovery expectations.
Fractional CO2 laser treatment at DermAlly is led by three MOH-accredited Consultant Dermatologists with combined experience across academic institutions, public hospitals, and private practice, including prior training at the National Skin Centre. This clinical background is particularly relevant for ablative resurfacing procedures, where understanding how skin heals, how complications develop, and how to manage recovery in Asian skin types is as important as the treatment itself.
Assessment at DermAlly focuses on whether the fractional CO2 laser is actually the right tool for the concern before any treatment is planned. Not every scar or textural change requires aggressive resurfacing. Patients at higher risk of pigmentation, those with milder scarring, or those who cannot accommodate meaningful downtime may be better served by non-ablative alternatives such as RF microneedling or fractional non-ablative approaches. This is discussed directly during consultation rather than defaulted to a single treatment pathway.
Where a fractional CO2 laser is appropriate, treatment protocols are built around Asian skin from the outset. This includes pre-treatment topical priming, where indicated; conservative parameter selection based on pigmentation tendency and skin type; and structured post-treatment monitoring during the recovery period. Aftercare guidance is also tailored to Singapore’s climate, where heat, humidity, and year-round UV exposure create specific recovery considerations distinct from those in cooler climates.
For patients with complex scarring patterns, DermAlly integrates fractional CO2 laser into broader treatment plans that include subcision for tethered rolling scars, RF microneedling for additional dermal remodelling, and pico laser, when concurrent pigmentation management is required. Treatment sequencing is planned according to the biology of the concern rather than applying a fixed protocol across all patients.
DermAlly operates from two locations in Singapore: Camden Medical Centre in Orchard and Katong i12 on the East Coast. Patients may also be referred to the sister practice, The Acne Clinic, where appropriate.
Consultation for fractional CO2 laser at DermAlly begins with a comprehensive clinical history covering the nature and duration of the skin concern; previous treatments and responses; current skincare products and medications; history of cold sores or abnormal scarring; isotretinoin use; and pregnancy or contraception status, where relevant.
Physical examination includes assessment of scar morphology and distribution, skin type and baseline oiliness, tendency toward pigmentation, barrier condition, and any active inflammation that may need to be addressed before resurfacing is considered. Fitzpatrick skin type is assessed to inform parameter selection and PIH risk planning.
Where indicated, further assessment may include dermoscopy to evaluate scar depth and pattern, and a review of whether adjunctive procedures, such as subcision or TCA CROSS, are required alongside resurfacing to achieve optimal outcomes.
Following assessment, the dermatologist determines whether the fractional CO2 laser is the most appropriate treatment for the concern, or whether a non-ablative approach, such as RF microneedling, offers a more suitable balance of improvement and risk for that patient’s skin.
If treatment proceeds, a written plan is provided covering the confirmed indication, pre-treatment priming protocol, expected number of sessions, treatment intensity, recovery timeline, and post-treatment aftercare requirements. Downtime expectations are discussed directly and in practical terms, including the implications for work, exercise, social activities, and sun exposure during recovery.
Patients are also advised on what the early sessions will look and feel like, including the expected peeling and crusting phase, and when to return for follow-up review.

Many patients experience the most visible recovery during the first five to 10 days after treatment. Redness, swelling, crusting, and peeling are expected during this period. While the skin surface usually heals within one to two weeks, residual pinkness may persist for several more weeks, depending on treatment intensity and skin type. Deeper collagen remodelling also continues beneath the skin for several months after treatment, which is why results emerge progressively rather than immediately.
Yes, but it requires more careful treatment planning compared to lighter skin types. Asian skin generally carries a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after aggressive resurfacing procedures. At DermAlly, this is managed through measures such as pre-treatment skin priming, conservative parameter selection, strict sun avoidance, and longer post-treatment monitoring. In some patients at higher risk of pigmentation, non-ablative alternatives may ultimately be a safer option than fractional CO2 resurfacing.
The number of sessions depends on the concern being treated, the severity of textural change, the treatment intensity used, and how your skin heals afterwards. Some patients undergo a single deeper resurfacing session, while others may require a series of lighter treatments spaced several weeks apart. Acne scarring and stretch marks often require multiple sessions because collagen remodelling occurs gradually over time rather than after a single treatment.
A fractional CO2 laser can produce significant improvement in acne scarring, but complete scar removal is not a realistic expectation. The degree of improvement depends on the type and depth of the scar, skin behaviour, and whether combination treatment is required. Rolling, boxcar, and ice pick scars also respond differently to resurfacing. In practice, many patients achieve smoother skin texture and less visible scarring rather than total scar erasure.
Patients typically tolerate a CO2 laser treatment reasonably well with topical anaesthesia. Numbing cream is usually applied before the procedure, and some patients undergoing deeper or full-face resurfacing may also require nerve blocks. During treatment, sensations are often described as heat, snapping, or prickling. Afterwards, the skin commonly feels hot and tight, similar to a strong sunburn. This discomfort usually improves substantially within the first 24 to 48 hours.
Technically, some patients return to work earlier depending on the intensity of treatment and the nature of their job. Realistically, however, most patients prefer to avoid social or professional settings for at least five days because redness, swelling, crusting, and peeling are often visibly noticeable during recovery. Full-face resurfacing in particular is not generally considered a “lunchtime procedure” and should be planned around downtime expectations in advance.
Fractional CO2 laser is an ablative resurfacing treatment that removes microscopic portions of skin tissue. At the same time, RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin through insulated needles without ablating the epidermis to the same extent. CO2 laser generally produces more intensive resurfacing and longer downtime, while RF microneedling often carries a lower risk of PIH and a shorter recovery period. In Asian skin, RF microneedling may sometimes represent the safer option for moderate scarring or earlier texture changes.
Fractional CO2 laser is sometimes used for older stretch marks, particularly pale or atrophic stretch marks known as striae alba. Treatment may help improve texture and soften the appearance of stretch marks over time, although multiple sessions are often required. Results vary depending on the age of the stretch marks, skin type, and body area involved. In some patients, RF microneedling or combination approaches may be preferred depending on pigmentation risk and recovery tolerance.
Depending on the skin concern, recovery profile, and pigmentation risk, your dermatologist may recommend combining a fractional CO2 laser with other modalities before, during, or after the treatment course.
Common pairings include:
Not every patient requires combination treatment. At DermAlly, treatment pairings are recommended based on scar type, skin behaviour, inflammation levels, and recovery tolerance rather than using the same protocol across all patients.
