CO2 Laser is a medical-grade laser treatment used for skin resurfacing and acne scar management. It delivers controlled laser energy into the skin to improve uneven texture, acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, and overall skin quality.

CO2 Laser is performed using fractional technology, which treats selected areas of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This supports collagen renewal and skin regeneration while allowing for planned healing and recovery.

At Cheongdam, CO2 Laser treatments are carefully customised based on skin condition, scar type, and recovery tolerance, with a strong focus on safety and realistic outcomes.

The Technology

Fractional Skin Resurfacing

Fractional CO2 Laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, leaving surrounding areas untouched. This fractional approach helps stimulate skin renewal while allowing untreated skin to support faster healing and recovery.

Controlled Thermal Stimulation

The laser energy generates controlled heat within the skin, prompting the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps improve acne scars, skin texture, and fine lines over time.

Progressive Skin Remodelling

As the skin heals, damaged surface layers are replaced with newer, healthier skin. With appropriate spacing between sessions, this leads to progressive improvement in skin texture and pores, firmness, and overall appearance.

CO2 Laser can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars, but complete removal cannot be guaranteed. Results vary depending on scar type, skin condition, and individual response to treatment. In many cases, a combination approach—such as pairing CO2 Laser with microneedling or injectable treatments—may be recommended to achieve more comprehensive and balanced improvement.

A professional consultation is essential. Our aesthetic doctor will assess your skin condition, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine whether CO2 Laser is suitable or if alternative or combination treatments are more appropriate.
