Can fractional CO2 laser be used on small areas?

Asked By:9875anon in Scotland, United Kingdom

Specifically, I am wanting to tighten my jowl area and avoid treating the whole face. I know this will limit the effect somewhat but are there other issues with using the device in this discrete way? Many thanks.
