Ablative Laser Resurfacing in Chennai
Deep scar and wrinkle correction with fractional CO2 laser at Halos Aminjikarai.
Overview
Powerful resurfacing for deep concerns
Ablative fractional CO2 laser is one of the most powerful resurfacing tools in dermatology — removing damaged skin in microscopic columns while stimulating collagen deep within. At HALOS in Aminjikarai, Chennai, we use it selectively for deep acne scars, moderate wrinkles and severe sun damage.
It’s a step above non-ablative lasers when correction really matters — requires more downtime (5–7 days), but delivers dramatic results.
