CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing

CO2 fractional laser resurfacing at BODY klinika using an advanced fractional CO2 system — described by the clinic as the most effective generation of ablative lasers for skin concerns. The laser divides its beam into thousands of micro-columns, ablating columns of skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing and lower risk than traditional full-ablation CO2 methods. Suitable for acne scars, keloid scars, enlarged pores, oily skin, wrinkles, pigmentation, skin growths, and non-healing acne. Outpatient, nearly painless under topical anaesthetic. From 10,000 Kč per session.

Fractional CO2 laser technology divides a full CO2 beam into a grid of microscopic ablative columns — each column vaporises a precise cylinder of skin from epidermis through superficial dermis, creating a controlled wound. The surrounding tissue between columns remains undamaged and serves as a reservoir of viable cells that accelerate re-epithelialisation. The clinical benefit of this 'fractional' approach is that ablative depths and intensities comparable to traditional CO2 resurfacing are achievable with significantly shorter healing times and lower risk of adverse effects. At BODY klinika, the CO2 fractional laser is used to treat a broad range of skin conditions. For scarring — acne scars, keloid scars, post-traumatic or surgical scars — the ablation physically removes fibrotic tissue while the dermal heating stimulates new collagen remodelling, gradually smoothing the scar surface and reducing its contrast with surrounding skin. For enlarged pores and oily skin, the treatment tightens the pore opening and normalises sebaceous gland activity in the treated zone. For fine lines and mild skin laxity, the dermal heating effect produces measurable collagen contraction and subsequent neocollagenesis, providing both immediate skin tightening and ongoing textural improvement over two to three months after the procedure. Skin growths — warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, and benign moles — can be precisely ablated and removed with the focused beam. Pigmentation irregularities, including solar lentigines and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, respond well to the combination of surface ablation and thermal disruption of melanin-containing cells. The treatment is outpatient and uses topical anaesthetic cream to minimise discomfort; the procedure itself takes thirty to sixty minutes depending on the treatment area. Patients should plan for several days of downtime (redness, peeling, sensitivity) while the skin heals; full recovery with return of normal social appearance typically takes about one week.
