CO2 Laser is an effective method for treating wrinkles, spots, and scars on the skin. During the procedure, a laser is used to remove damaged layers of skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular regeneration.
Additionally, CO2 Laser can also be used to treat pre-cancerous lesions and improve the appearance of acne scars.
The treatment is performed safely and in a controlled manner, with shorter recovery times compared to other more invasive procedures. It is important to consult a qualified dermatologist to evaluate whether CO2 Laser is suitable for your specific case.
The professional will determine the intensity of the treatment and provide all necessary post-operative instructions.

Dr. Szerman Explains:
What is Fractional CO2 Laser?
CO2 Laser is a procedure considered the gold standard for various treatments such as rejuvenation, skin spot removal, acne scars, stretch marks, and more.
Its light beams act at different depths of the skin, promoting intense and safer skin renewal. For those seeking an efficient treatment to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, scars, and other skin issues quickly, conveniently, and safely, this is the ideal procedure.
What is CO2 Laser used for?
CO2 Laser is indicated for those seeking deep skin rejuvenation, being able to treat acne scars, sun spots, melasma, stretch marks, dark circles, body scars, eyelid sagging, and facial sagging.
How does the procedure work?
In this procedure, small beams of light are applied fractionally and pulsed, helping to alleviate or even eliminate the issue in a non-surgical way. The most important thing is that it does not cause skin burns like other lasers that are just fractionated.
The application triggers an inflammatory process in the skin, which then stimulates collagen production and skin contraction during the healing process, promoting more elasticity and improving fine wrinkles, spots, scars, and other skin marks.
The application should be performed in a specialist doctor’s office and begins only after the application of a high-absorption anesthetic cream, ensuring total comfort during the session.
Additionally, cold air jets are applied to the area to further enhance comfort during the process. The duration varies according to the treated area, type, and extent of the problem.
Many patients ask, “How does the face look after CO2 Laser?” In general, patients tolerate the laser application well. After the treatment, it’s normal for the skin to become slightly red and develop superficial scabs, but this effect gradually disappears over time.
Moreover, while the treatment lasts, it is best to avoid exposing the skin to harmful UV rays.

How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions depends on several factors such as skin type, technology used, extent of the problem, and others. Therefore, it is most recommended to have an evaluation with a dermatologist so they can analyze and suggest the number of sessions most suitable for your case.
In general, between 4 and 5 sessions are recommended, with intervals of 1 to 2 months between them.
Where can it be applied?
The application can be performed on any area of the body that requires rejuvenation or any other specific treatment. Even in more sensitive areas such as around the mouth and eyelids, as well as intimate areas, for example.
In other words, this procedure can be applied to the face, neck, back, abdomen, buttocks, legs, breasts, groin, and others, with visible differences in CO2 laser before and after.
How long does CO2 Laser take to show results?
Studies have shown that results begin within 10 days and finish after 6 months of the procedure. Initially, the biggest improvement is in skin brightness and lightening. Over the following months, gradual collagen production will occur, leading to firmness and skin renewal.
The duration of the effects greatly depends on how you care for your skin after the treatment, but the results are truly satisfying.

Não se arrisque. Sempre procure um médico experiente. Aqui, tratamos cada paciente como único, entregando o nosso melhor com dedicação, carinho e responsabilidade. Um abraço, conte conosco.” Dr. Szerman
