There are many benefits to choosing a CO2 laser for your next skincare treatment. While highly effective for those looking to reduce wrinkles and scars, it is equally suitable for those looking to tighten skin or even out skin tone.

The fractional laser makes the treatment more gentle and you do not have to treat the entire skin surface at the same time. Here at Estetikcentrum in Malmö, we are experts in adapting this treatment to your personal needs to give you the best possible results.

4 benefits of CO2 laser

So, what can you expect from our modern CO2 laser treatment and how do you know if it is suitable? As mentioned earlier, the treatment has many functions and can be used to treat a range of different problems.

Reduce wrinkles and fine lines

One of the main benefits of our CO2 laser treatment is the ability to reduce both fine lines and deeper wrinkles. By stimulating collagen production, the skin also gains a firmer and more youthful texture.

Smoother skin tone and reduced visibility of age spots

Both age spots and pigment spots can be reduced with the help of a laser treatment. The CO2 laser treatment helps to even out the skin tone and thus gives you a more uniform color.

Reduced scars from acne

Do you have old acne scars that you want to get rid of? Then we think CO2 laser treatment is a great option. The laser can help smooth out scars and give you smoother skin. You can also reduce large pores and soften a rough and uneven skin surface.

Tighter skin

Most people suffer from sagging skin as we get older, but weight changes can also be the cause. With our CO2 laser, you can tighten your skin and improve both firmness and elasticity. 

Results and aftercare

CO2 laser treatment requires 5-6 days off work, however, it is important to remember that the skin may feel extra red and swollen immediately after, therefore it is important to bathe the skin in soap solution and moisturize with soothing cream.But this is temporary and usually settles within a few days. You may also notice that the skin starts to flake, which is a good sign that it is renewing itself and the treatment is working as it should. Most people find that their skin starts to look better after a few days and the final result is visible within a few weeks. 

Summary

CO2 lasers are a great way to improve the appearance and texture of your skin. From reducing wrinkles and acne scars to evening out skin tone and tightening skin. So it's perhaps not surprising that it's one of our most popular treatments today. Do you want to deeply boost your skin while tightening and getting rid of wrinkles? CO2 laser gives you a complete treatment and that little mini-lift you have been longing for.
