Fractional CO2 Laser

The most effective method for skin renewal and skin tightening. Suitable for all those who want to feel that something is happening already during the treatment and can give the skin time to recover.

How does the fractional CO2 laser work?

Renew, smooth, tighten.

Treatment with the fractional CO2 laser is a well-proven and long-tested procedure that has been re-established and has developed into the gold standard for skin rejuvenation, using modern CO2 lasers that have since been updated multiple times. This procedure harnesses the skin’s own regenerative capacity to partially reform and grow back. Multiple tiny skin areas are ablated in a controlled manner using the CO2 laser, which creates many tiny holes within a defined area of the skin. Old skin is thereby shed, and the subsequent healing process completely renews the skin, which then grows back tighter, smoother, and finer, thus also making wrinkles and hyperpigmentation elegantly disappear.

The fractional CO2 laser offers many advantages for treating skin problems, particularly for improving the skin’s appearance.

The main ones are:

Effectiveness: The fractional CO2 laser is very effective in treating wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and uneven pigmentation. The laser energy penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, inducing maximum tightening and smoothing.
Faster Recovery: With our latest generation CO2 laser, the skin needs a significantly shorter recovery time.
Safety: The fractional CO2 laser is suitable and safe for most skin types. With us, this treatment is performed exclusively by qualified, experienced doctors.
Long-lasting Results: With repetition and appropriate care, the results can last for many years.

The CO2 Laser Treatment:

Procedure: The CO2 fractional laser treatment is the most modern and effective procedure for skin renewal and skin tightening, harnessing the skin’s regenerative capacity. It is a minimally invasive procedure in which microscopically small skin areas are ablated to a controlled depth. Using a specially developed scanner, many tiny holes, hardly visible to the naked eye, are shot into the skin. The ensuing healing process renews the skin, which becomes tighter, smoother, and finer, and bothersome pigmentations disappear. This process leads successively to skin renewal and skin rejuvenation.
Execution: The skin area in question is thoroughly cleaned before the procedure begins. For most people, the treatment is associated with slight, tolerable pain, which is alleviated by the prior application of a pain-relieving cream or cooling of the skin. The treatment time is about twenty minutes, depending on the size of the skin area.
Aftercare: After 7 to 10 days, the treated areas are healed. Redness occurs for up to two days, after which (days 3-5) scaling of the lasered areas takes place; they appear tanned at this time. Make-up to cover up is allowed. During the aftercare phase, the skin should be protected from intense sun exposure for two to three months and therefore cared for with a moisturizing sunscreen with SPF 50+. Since skin renewal and collagen formation take several months, a sustainable and visible treatment success is to be expected gradually over the course of two to three months.

FAQs

The most frequently asked questions about the fractional CO2 – laser

How does a fractional CO2 laser work?

The fractional CO2 laser emits laser energy in tiny spots to create small holes in the skin and remove old skin. The laser energy stimulates the immigration of new cells, the production of collagen and elastin to improve the appearance of the skin.

What skin problems can be treated with a fractional CO2 laser?

This laser is used in anti-aging treatment of wrinkles, fine lines, scars and sun damage. The field of treatment is therefore very wide, since the laser initiates a complete renewal of the epidermis, which naturally has a corresponding effect on many indications mentioned.

How long does a treatment take?

The treatment is very efficient, as a lot of energy is delivered already in the first session. The duration depends on the size of the area to be treated. Usually, one treatment lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.

Is the fractional laser treatment painful?

The treatment may cause some degree of pain or discomfort. We do not recommend this treatment as an entry-level medical cosmetic treatment, as the treatment is very intense and also causes a high downtime. Usually, the pain is well tolerated and is additionally alleviated with a painkilling cream and cooling.

How long is the recovery time after a treatment?

The recovery period can last from 5 to 14 days, depending on the type and extent of treatment.

What side effects may occur?

Pain, redness, swelling and crusting. In rare cases, infections or discoloration of the skin may also occur.

For whom is this treatment suitable?

People who are looking for maximum anti-aging treatment of your wrinkles, fine lines, scars will find satisfactory results here. We recommend this treatment to patients who expect maximum effect at a good price-quality ratio, but are primarily willing to accept a high downtime. Many of our patients also take a week off after the treatment, which they then spend at home protected from light.

How many treatments are required?

Good results can be achieved after the first treatment, but more sessions may be required for optimal results, depending on the extent of the area to be treated.

Is it possible to perform the treatment in summer?

No, because the skin after treatment is very sensitive and prone to sun damage and pigmentation spots
