 "name": "CO2 Laser Singapore: Fractional S3 for Acne Scars",
 "url": "https://drsinyong.com/acne-scar-tetra-pro-scar3-treatment-singapore/",
 "summary": "A fractional CO2 laser is an ablative 10,600 nm laser that vaporises microscopic columns of skin and leaves untreated skin between them, so the surface heals from them while the dermis remodels collagen. Dr Sin Yong's S3 Resurfacing Lift uses the DEKA Tetra Pro fractional CO2 platform, combining point shots into scar pits with fractional passes, subcision and TCA CROSS.",
 "key_facts": {
  "Platform": "DEKA Tetra Pro CO2, S3 configuration",
  "Protocol": "Developed and refined by Dr Sin Yong",
  "Scar morphologies": "Ice-pick, rolling and boxcar — the three principal depressed scar types, which respond to different depths",
  "Secondary effect": "Collagen stimulation, giving an accompanying tightening response",
  "Wider applications": "Moles and raised lesions, rhinophyma, complex traumatic scars and keloids",
  "Skin types": "Parameters are calibrated across all Fitzpatrick types. Ablative resurfacing carries a higher risk of post-inflammatory change in darker phototypes, which is the constraint the protocol is designed around"
