This article has been reviewed and approved by certified skin therapist Jasmina Pivic on March 20, 2025

Have you heard about fractional CO2 laser treatment, but are unsure about what it is and how it can improve your skin? CO2 laser is a very modern and high-tech treatment that treats everything from acne scars to fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike many simpler skincare treatments, this is a real game changer for those who want to take skincare treatments to the next level.

In simple terms, fractional CO2 laser is an advanced skin treatment that uses lasers to improve the structure and appearance of the skin. By sending small controlled laser pulses to the skin, collagen production is stimulated, making the skin firmer, smoother and much younger looking. Not only will your skin be more vibrant and stronger, it will also have a whole new glow - and who doesn't want that?

What is a fractional laser?

But what does it mean that the laser is fractional and is it gentle on the skin? In short, fractional laser means that the laser will not affect the entire skin surface, but only the area being treated. This way, your skin can get a chance to heal much faster, while getting the best effect of the treatment. With us, you can carry out CO2 laser treatment for both small and larger areas in a safe and secure way.

How CO2 lasers can improve your skin

Fractional CO2 laser is like a superhero for the skin and here we list some of the things it can help with:

• Laser treatment stimulates collagen production, which reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
• Have you been struggling with acne and have scars that never really disappeared? Then lasers can be a solution here too. 
• CO2 laser treatment can help smooth the skin and reduce visible scars.
• If you have dark spots from the sun or age spots, the laser can help even out skin tone.
• The treatment makes it possible to tighten the skin and give it a firmer feel.
• Reduce the visibility of large pores and make the skin cleaner and smoother.

What results can be expected?

The treatment takes place here at the Estetikcentrum in Malmö and is both fast and effective. Before the treatment, we will give you a thorough consultation so that we can tailor the treatment to your needs. The treatment itself is relatively quick and should you wish, we can use a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. After the treatment, the skin may be a little red and swollen, but this will pass quickly. Within a few days you will start to notice results!
