Fractional CO2 laser as a spot treatment

In our practice we do not spot treat with the fractional laser, unless it is only the eyelids. We recommend treating the entire face, and may treat certain scarred areas deeper at the same time.

As a general rule spot treatment per se is not typically done but it really varies based upon the severity etc.  Most of the time you at least want to treat the entire cosmetic unit.  Those cosmetic unit examples would include: entire face; nose; forehead; around the eye; around the mouth; etc.The cosmetic unit is based upon similar skin types/ characteristics within a general area.  Thus I would expect a cosmetic unit treatment at a minimum.
