Procedure Summary
The CO₂ laser procedure uses a carbon dioxide laser to deliver micro thermal energy to the skin, removing damaged epidermis and inducing new skin regeneration. It precisely removes unnecessary keratin and pigments from the skin while promoting collagen production in the dermis layer, improving elasticity and smoothness. This laser treatment is effective for overall skin texture renewal, including acne scars, blemishes, wrinkles, and pore improvement.

Procedure
The CO₂ laser operates by emitting a high-energy laser beam with a 10,600nm wavelength onto the skin, precisely vaporizing aging cells in the epidermis and inducing collagen regeneration in the dermis through thermal stimulation. During this process, minor thermal damage triggers the skin's natural healing response, promoting new cell and tissue regeneration. As a result, skin texture becomes smoother, and wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation are improved. The fractional method delivers energy evenly, allowing for quick recovery and minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

FAQ
The CO₂ laser is a verified laser treatment used for decades in various skin treatments. When performed by skilled medical professionals with proper adjustment of power and depth, it is very safe. The procedure precisely vaporizes only the skin surface, reducing the risk of bleeding or scarring while minimizing damage to healthy tissues, allowing for quick recovery.
Avoid the procedure or consult with medical staff in the following cases:
- Areas with skin inflammation, infections, or wounds.
- Severe active acne or serious skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis).
- Recent history of peeling, other laser treatments, or steroid cream usage.
- During pregnancy or when the skin's regenerative capacity is reduced.
- Those prone to keloid scarring.
In such cases, consider the skin's recovery period, adjust the timing, or opt for alternative treatments.
