CO2 LASER

The treatment is ideal for fine lines and wrinkles, scars (especially acne scars), pigmentation disorders, and loss of skin elasticity. Autumn is a very good time for CO2 Laser treatments, as it is a darker season and the skin is significantly more sensitive to light after treatment. In principle, CO2 Laser treatments are also possible during the summer months, but they are less risky and easier to follow up in autmn.

Depending on the area, between 60 and 70 minutes for treatment.

Yes. At Kalia Lab, we work with a fractional CO2 Laser.

Usually after about 7-10 days. Redness, swelling, scabbing, and dry skin may occur.

This depends on your skin concern and the result you're looking for. Visible improvements can appear after the very first session. For scars, we recommend several sessions – and the results here are permanent. For all other skin concerns, the results are not permanent, as your skin continues to age naturally over time. To maintain your result long-term, we recommend a refresh treatment around once a year.

Possible risks and side effects include redness, swelling, scabbing, and dry skin.
