Turn back the clock with advanced CO₂ laser skin renewal
CO2 lasers are a safe and effective treatment option for getting rid of wrinkles, scars, sun damage, age spots and skin laxity. Thin layers of outer skin can be precisely removed with hardly any damage to the surrounding skin tissues.

Indications treated by CO2 Laser
Sun Damage
The laser targets sun-damaged skin, promoting the removal of damaged cells and encouraging the growth of fresh, rejuvenated skin.
Rhinophyma
The laser precisely removes excess tissue and reshapes the nose, reducing the size and prominence of the affected area.
Acne Scars
By removing the scar tissue and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells, CO2 laser diminishes acne scars and enlarged pores.
Fine Line & Wrinkles
CO2 laser treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Stretch Marks & Cut Scars
As the laser helps to resurface and rejuvenate the skin, it helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks, cuts, and burn scars.
Skin Laxity
CO2 laser stimulates collagen and elastin production, tightening the skin and improving overall skin laxity.
How does CO2 laser work?
CO₂ laser treatment delivers a focused beam of light that is absorbed by the water within skin cells. This energy converts into heat, gently removing the outer layer of damaged skin. At the same time, it creates controlled micro-injuries in the deeper layers, triggering the skin’s natural healing response and boosting collagen and elastin production. As healing occurs, fresh, healthy skin cells take the place of the old ones.
Because the carbon dioxide laser works with high precision, only the targeted areas are treated while the surrounding skin remains unharmed. Depending on the concern being treated, multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results.
Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed to remove any residue, and local anesthesia or a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Eye shields are provided to protect the eyes.
Laser Treatment
A handheld laser device delivers targeted energy to the specific area, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin remodeling. The procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the size and nature of the area being treated.
Post-Treatment Care
An antibacterial ointment is applied to the treated skin. Healing usually takes 10 to 21 days, depending on the depth and type of treatment performed.
Aftercare instructions for CO2 laser treatment:
During the healing period, do not scratch or pick at the treated skin and keep the area clean at all times. Minimize sun exposure by wearing protective clothing and applying sunscreen whenever you go outside. Follow your physician’s instructions for applying moisturizer to support proper recovery.
What are the possible side effects of CO2 laser?
In the first few days following treatment, the skin may feel sensitive, with sensations of itching, stinging, and peeling. Blistering or crusting can also occur, along with common side effects such as swelling, irritation, and dryness. Around 5 to 7 days after the procedure, the outer layer of skin begins to peel, revealing fresh skin underneath with a pale pink tone.
CO₂ laser treatment carries a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), particularly in individuals with darker skin tones, and may not be suitable for all skin types.
