CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing

CO2 fractional laser resurfaces the skin in microscopic columns to improve texture, tone, fine lines and pore size while leaving surrounding skin intact for faster healing. At Esthe full-face photo-rejuvenation, including the eyelids, costs 1,400–2,000 zł, and the laser can be combined with platelet-rich plasma. It suits patients wanting smoother, firmer, more even skin, and is also used for scars and stretch marks.

CO2 fractional laser resurfacing delivers laser energy into the skin in a grid of microscopic treatment zones that reach from the surface into the deeper dermis, while leaving the skin between those zones untouched. This fractional pattern triggers a strong collagen-remodelling response — associated with smoother texture, softer fine lines, refined pores and a more even tone — while the intact surrounding tissue helps the treated area heal more quickly than fully ablative resurfacing. At Esthe the skin is cleansed and prepared before treatment, which for the full face, including the eyelids, takes around thirty to forty-five minutes. Afterwards the skin feels warm and looks flushed, with a sandpaper-like texture and possible mild swelling for several days as it renews; the clinic advises a recovery period of roughly three to seven days, avoiding cosmetics for a week, cleansing gently, and using high-factor SPF for at least a month. Visible improvement appears within days and continues to develop over the following weeks, with final results associated with about four to five weeks after treatment; a series of sessions deepens the effect. The same laser is used for acne and traumatic scars and for stretch marks, priced separately by area, and the full-face treatment can be paired with platelet-rich plasma to support recovery. Suitability, skin type and any contraindications are assessed by the clinic before treatment, and diligent sun protection is essential.
