How does eC02 Fractional Resurfacing Work?
Fractional skin resurfacing has dramatically changed the way physicians approach skin resurfacing and wrinkle reduction.
It works by creating tiny micro-wounds while leaving bridges of untreated skin, thus treating only a fraction of the skin's surface; As a result discomfort and healing time are minimized. Fractional resurfacing appeals to a broad range of patients, from those needing to repair light damage to those wanting more dramatic results
The procedure lives up to its promise to reduce skin imperfections and promote collagen regeneration for long term wrinkle reduction, reclaiming the skin's youthful appearance, tone and color.
Expect Dramatic Results
Your physician will discuss your treatment needs with you during your consult. The results will vary depending on your age, degree of sun damage and skin type, as well as what parameters your physician uses. However, patients who have had the eCO2 procedure, report significant changes in only a single treatment.
- Reduces facial fine lines and wrinkles

The Healing Process
Immediately following treatment you will experience some swelling and redness. If your doctor is aggressive during the procedure, the area treated will appear red for a longer period of time. In most cases, this issue resolves in one to three weeks. During that time, with the exception of the first few days post-treatment, you may apply makeup to tone down the redness. Normal activities may be resumed, in most cases, within 5-7 days.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER- The laser creates micro- ablated columns to stimulate cells. The surrounding healthy tissue promotes rapid healing.
2 DAYS POST- Skin is healing creating new collagen during wound healing process.
POST 14 DAYS- Outer layer of skin is completely healed and collagen remodeling continues for up to nine months

Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa Reviews
Great experience… he takes time to listen
Dr. Petroff, his nurses and staff were nothing short of extraordinary. I was so impressed at every step of this process with Dr. Petroff’s office. They communicated well, followed up, very organized and the nurses made me feel so comfortable and safe during my procedure. I would highly highly recommend Dr. Petroff.
Good place good results I recommend
I am not even 2 weeks post op for rhinoplasty and I can’t stop staring at my face. The thing is, it’s only going to get better. The whole experience was wonderful. I was immediately comfortable with Dr Petroff and he listened to what I wanted; he was realistic and gave me a nose that not only fit my face and improved it. He didn’t give me a cookie cutter nose. He has a vision and it’s very clear within his work. Bri was excellent as a surgery coordinator, we worked together well and she was very kind. The nurses who helped with my procedure were truly wonderful, thank you Charity and Tiffany. I appreciate your support and love I felt before, during and after my procedure. You ladies are lovely. I wish I remembered who took my stitches out but she was also amazing. She was encouraging throughout that process and so down to earth, a real sweetheart. If you’re wanting to do something that you feel would improve your confidence and appearance, go with the Petroff Center! Thank you everyone.
Dr Petroff and his team exceeded my expectations during our consultation. The Office is beautiful. The team was professional and welcoming. Dr Petroff listened to my concerns, addressed them, arrived at a treatment plan. He was thoughtful, not pushy at all, and I left confident in my decision.
