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.
Contact us today to make an appointment and set up a personalized skin treatment.
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.
Alternative treatments in Turkey
At our dermatological centers and clinics in Turkey, we offer the following alternative treatments:
Dermabrasion technique
Dermabrasion is a deep exfoliation technique that eliminates dead cells and skin imperfections, for an even, radiant complexion. It mechanically removes the superficial layers of the skin using an instrument known as a dermabrasive.
Chemical peels
Customized exfoliation for a radiant complexion. Using specially adapted acids, we remove dead cells and stimulate cell renewal, revealing smoother, more even skin.
Our experts in Turkey put their know-how at your service to deliver visible, long-lasting results. With Turquie Santé, you benefit from a personalized diagnosis and support throughout your treatment.

CO2 laser treatment offers several advantages over other techniques:
- Versatility: The CO2 laser can treat wrinkles, scars, sun spots, precancerous lesions, warts, moles, and other skin lesions with significant results.
- Precision: The CO2 laser enables precise targeting of the specific areas of skin to be treated.
- Shorter recovery time than more invasive surgical procedures.
- Short treatment time (sessions last for minutes to an hour).
During CO2 laser treatment, a sensation of intense heat is generally felt on the treated skin. Some patients describe this sensation as a tingling or mild burning sensation. However, practitioners often use techniques to minimize discomfort, such as applying a topical anesthetic gel or using skin-cooling devices.
For some mild skin problems, such as sun spots or uneven skin texture, a single session of CO2 laser treatment may be sufficient to achieve satisfying results. However, for deep acne scars, several sessions (3 to 6) are recommended to maximize treatment effects.
In many cases, the CO2 laser treatment effects are long-lasting, as the results can be visible for several years. CO2 laser treatment stimulates collagen production in the skin, improving skin texture, firmness, and elasticity for a long period.
In general, fractional CO2 laser treatment in Turkey can cost between 300 and 700 euros per session. However, it's important to note that these prices are a rough estimate and may vary according to the treatment extent, the patient's specific needs and the practitioner, clinic fees, etc.
