CO2 fractional laser is an ablative resurfacing treatment that removes microscopic columns of skin to trigger strong collagen renewal. It is used for deeper acne scars, wrinkles and uneven texture. Because it is more intensive than non-ablative lasers, it has more downtime. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, it is planned and performed under board-certified dermatologists.

How CO2 Fractional Laser works
The CO2 laser vaporises tiny columns of tissue in a grid pattern. As the skin heals, new collagen and fresh skin replace the treated areas, improving scars and texture.
What CO2 Fractional Laser can help with
- Deeper acne scars
- Wrinkles
- Rough texture
- Enlarged pores
- Some surgical scars
- Sun-damaged skin
Who it may not suit: People with active infection, a recent tan, a tendency to keloid scarring, or who are pregnant; it needs careful assessment for darker skin.

CO2 Fractional Laser FAQ
How much downtime should I expect?
Most patients have redness and fine crusting for about five to seven days, with pinkness fading over the following weeks.
Is CO2 fractional better than Fraxel?
CO2 is more intensive and can achieve stronger results for deeper scars, but with more downtime. Your dermatologist recommends the right option.
Can I have CO2 laser on a short trip?
It is best scheduled at the start of a longer stay so you can be reviewed before flying.
Is it suitable for darker skin?
It can be, with careful settings and preparation; post-inflammatory pigmentation risk is discussed at consultation.
