The CO2 laser is a high-power, minimally invasive procedure that delivers exceptional precision and effectiveness in aesthetic medicine. It addresses various skin concerns, including rejuvenation, scar and stretch mark removal, and skin resurfacing. Depending on the parameters set, it can work on the skin’s superficial layers for a peeling effect or penetrate deeper dermal layers to stimulate fibroblasts and boost collagen production, resulting in firmer, rejuvenated skin.

Duration: Treatments typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and severity of the treated area.

Downtime: Mild redness, swelling, and peeling can occur, usually subsiding within 5–7 days. Healing times vary based on treatment depth, with deeper treatments requiring up to 10–14 days.
