What is a CO2 laser?

Treatment with the CO2 laser at LIVION in Hamburg

The Fraxel CO2 laser is a particularly gentle form of laser treatment for combating wrinkles. It uses CO2 (carbon dioxide) to generate high-energy light to treat the surface of the skin as well as deeper skin layers. This process vaporizes the upper layers of skin and stimulates the skin cells to produce new collagen. At LIVION in Hamburg, laser wrinkle treatment involves the selective application of light pulses. This means that the laser beams hit the skin in tiny dots. This method is very gentle on the skin because it uses precisely controllable heat energy that largely spares the surrounding tissue.

How does treatment with the CO2 laser work?

Individual treatment options

Before laser treatment at LIVION in Hamburg, an anaesthetic cream is applied to the relevant area of skin. There are two treatment options: for slight unevenness, the laser only removes the surface layer of skin, resulting in very rapid healing. For deeper wrinkles, you can expect a longer recovery time, as the laser penetrates deeper into the skin to stimulate skin cell renewal. However, this procedure also has a more lasting effect. Of course, both methods can be combined to achieve the best results for your aesthetic needs. The first effects are visible just a few days after the CO2 laser treatment. In addition to the face, Fraxel CO2 laser treatment at LIVION in Hamburg can also be performed on the neck and décolleté.

What you need to bear in mind afterwards

Aftercare following CO2 laser treatment

After laser treatment, swelling and redness similar to sunburn may occur. These symptoms usually subside quickly. Continuous cooling of the treated areas promotes the healing process. Depending on the extent of the treatment, the recovery period can last from one to four days. During this time, patients should refrain from sports and sauna visits. Afterwards, it is advisable to apply sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (at least SPF 30) to the treated skin for several weeks to prevent pigmentation spots. During this time, avoid excessive sun exposure and refrain from visiting the solarium altogether.

FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about the CO₂ LASER

The CO2 laser (carbon dioxide laser) emits high-energy light that is delivered in a focused beam onto the skin or other tissues. During treatment, it heats the upper layers of the skin, causing controlled vaporization to address concerns such as wrinkles, scars, or skin lesions. At LIVION, the CO2 laser is primarily used for skin rejuvenation, scar removal, and reducing signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles.

Suitability for CO2 laser treatment depends on several factors, including skin type, overall health, and individual goals. Ideal candidates have fair skin and specific concerns, such as wrinkles, scars, or pigmentation issues. People with active skin infections, very dark skin, or certain medical conditions may not be suitable for this treatment.

Before the treatment, an anesthetic cream is applied, and nitrous oxide can be administered upon request. Many patients report that the procedure is virtually painless.

After CO2 laser treatment, swelling, redness, and discomfort often occur, but these are usually temporary.

Recovery time after a CO2 laser treatment at Livion can vary depending on the depth and intensity of the procedure, but usually lasts from a few days up to a week. Swelling and redness may occur in the days following treatment and typically subside gradually. During recovery, it is essential to care for the treated skin, avoid sun exposure, and closely follow your physician’s aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.

The number of CO2 laser sessions required depends on factors such as skin condition and treatment goals. In many cases, a single session is enough to achieve noticeable improvements. For deeper skin issues or when more extensive corrections are needed, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended to ensure optimal results.

The longevity of results from a CO2 laser treatment can vary between patients and depends on factors such as the type of skin concern treated and the individual’s skincare routine. Generally, results can last for several years, especially for wrinkle or scar reduction. However, natural aging continues, so signs of aging may gradually reappear. Consistent skincare and sun protection are essential to maintain results, and periodic touch-up treatments may be needed to ensure lasting effects.
