Fractional CO2 laser treatment in Turkey: How it works, costs and recovery timeline

Fractional CO2 laser : What is it ?

The fractional CO2 laser is a precision tool used in aesthetic dermatology to treat a variety of skin conditions. It works by emitting a highly concentrated beam of light which, by interacting with the water contained in the cells, causes selective vaporization of the target skin tissue.

This technique, which is very popular in Turkey, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, promoting skin rejuvenation and the correction of numerous imperfections such as wrinkles, scars or pigmented lesions.

Co² fractional laser: When is it needed?

The CO2 laser is a technique indicated for the treatment of certain dermatological conditions such as:

• Angioma, calluses.
• Wrinkles.
• Liver spots or senile freckles, sun-damaged skin, growths, actinic and seborrheic keratosis.
• Acne and chicken pox scars, stretch marks, keloids.
• Condylomata acuminata and giant condylomata ("rooster's ridges", which are a very common sexually transmitted disease).
• Epulids (benign swelling of the gums).
• Skin tags (several small skin appendages located mainly in the neck, armpits, and groin)
• Dermal nevi (moles) and papillomatous nevi (flat, raised, morform)
• Skin pigmentations (freckles, melasma, solar lentigo, senile lentigo).
• Rhinophyma and dark tattoos.
• Xanthelasma (accumulation of yellow fat in the eyelids).

Why choose fractional CO2 laser treatment?

The CO2 laser is a cutting-edge technology in aesthetic dermatology, known for its exceptional results in skin rejuvenation. By stimulating collagen production, it smoothes wrinkles, refines skin texture, and restores natural radiance.

In addition to aesthetic treatments, the CO2 laser is also used in medical dermatology to treat various skin lesions such as warts, fibroids, and certain benign neoformations.

Compared to traditional surgery, the CO2 laser has the advantage of being less invasive, with shorter recovery times and a reduced risk of complications.

Pre-operative phase

Are you considering CO2 laser treatment to improve the quality of your skin? Before any treatment, a consultation with one of our dermatologists is essential. This step allows us to make an accurate diagnosis of your skin, assess any contraindications, and select the laser parameters best suited to your goals.

Post-operative recovery

Although CO2 laser treatments are generally well tolerated, several sessions are often required to achieve optimal results. Initial results are generally seen one month after the first session, but may vary depending on the nature of the problem being treated, skin type, and individual expectations.

We recommend spacing the sessions at least 40 days apart to allow the skin to fully regenerate. A complete protocol often involves 5 or more sessions.

To maintain results, we recommend avoiding excessive sun exposure, especially during the treatment period.
