What is the CO2 Laser?

The Fractional CO2 Laser is a semi-ablative laser that delivers precise light pulses to the targeted area, creating microscopic columns of ablated tissue. These micro-injuries stimulate the natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. As a result, the Fractional CO2 Laser replaces damaged skin with new, healthier tissue, giving it a smoother, more radiant, and rejuvenated appearance.

What is the CO2 Laser used for?

The CO2 Laser is used for facial rejuvenation treatments, as it promotes skin regeneration to address deep wrinkles, age, or sun-related damage, and texture irregularities such as acne scars. This technology is also ideal for rejuvenating the neck, décolletage, and hands.

When can I sunbathe after a CO2 Laser treatment?

It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for at least one month after treatment and to use a high broad-spectrum sunscreen. This helps prevent side effects such as pigmentation spots or skin damage.

Like any medical procedure, it carries certain risks. However, its use has proven to be very safe when performed by a qualified specialist.

When can I wash my face after a CO2 Laser treatment?

Regarding side effects, patients may experience redness and swelling of the skin. Small scabs and peeling may also appear as part of the natural tissue regeneration process; these typically fall off after about a week. Makeup should be avoided during this time, and strict sun protection, along with ointments or creams prescribed by the physician, will be essential to soothe the skin. A recovery period of 2 to 3 days is usually required.
