Fractional CO₂ Laser in the Algarve

Acne scars, uneven texture, more visible pores or fine lines?

Fractional CO₂ Laser creates controlled micro-zones of treatment, promoting skin renewal and collagen remodelling.

Medical assessment before the procedure.

May be considered for:

The laser treats small areas of the skin in a fractional way, triggering a process of repair and remodelling.

It can cause heat, burning or stinging. Anaesthesia appropriate to the intensity and the treated area is used.

Redness, swelling, small crusts and peeling may occur for several days.

First the skin recovers. Remodelling continues progressively over the following weeks and months.

Scars can improve, but we cannot promise that they will disappear.

Sun protection after treatment is essential.

Can I go in the sun?

Sun protection is essential during recovery. Inappropriate sun exposure increases the risk of pigmentation changes.

What are the risks?

Pigmentation changes, prolonged redness, infection, texture changes or unfavourable healing may occur.

First we identify the change and assess the skin type. Then we decide whether CO₂ is the appropriate option.
