MiXto Laser is a fractional CO2 laser that uses a combination of ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to resurface the skin. The laser creates controlled micro-injuries in targeted areas, stimulating collagen production and removing damaged outer skin layers. It is used to address wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and skin texture irregularities.

Good candidates have fair to medium skin tones and realistic expectations about results. Those with active skin infections, very dark skin, or recent sun exposure should wait before treatment. A qualified provider will assess individual skin type and concerns during consultation.

The treatment area is cleansed and typically numbed with topical anesthetic or local anesthesia. The laser handpiece is guided across the skin in overlapping passes, and most sessions last 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area treated. Sensations range from warmth to mild discomfort.

The skin will be red and swollen immediately after treatment, with some crusting or peeling over the following week. Most people can return to light activities within a few days, though sun protection and gentle skincare are essential. Full healing typically takes 7 to 14 days.

Improvements in skin texture, fine lines, and scar appearance become visible as the skin heals and new collagen forms. Most people see noticeable changes within 2 to 4 weeks, with continued improvement over several months. Results tend to last 2 to 3 years, though maintenance treatments may be desired.
