CO2 lasers and fractional lasers: Effective methods for skin tightening and facial contouring at InGold Aesthetics clinics in Switzerland
ABOUT CO2 lasers and fractional lasers
CO2 lasers and fractional lasers are state-of-the-art, non-surgical treatments for skin tightening and rejuvenation. Both technologies use laser energy to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and refine the appearance of the skin. While the CO2 laser works by ablating the top layers of skin, the fractional laser targets specific areas of the skin to stimulate collagen production. At InGold Aesthetics clinics, we offer these effective laser treatments to help you achieve firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

CO2 laser: Deep-acting skin regeneration
The CO2 laser is an ablative laser that works by targeting the outermost layers of the skin. It removes fine and deep wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. Heating the underlying skin layers stimulates collagen production, leading to skin tightening and smoothing. The CO2 laser is ideal for treating:
- Fine and deep wrinkles
- Age spots and sun damage
- Acne scars and other scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Large Pores
- Skin Tightening
The intervention
CO2 laser and fractional laser treatments are performed on an outpatient basis and typically last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated.

- Preparation: Cleansing the skin area to be treated and application of a local anesthetic or anesthetic cream.

Questions & Answers
What is the main difference between the CO2 laser and the fractional laser?
The CO2 laser removes the top layer of skin, resulting in intensive skin resurfacing. The fractional laser, on the other hand, treats only small areas of the skin, making regeneration more gentle and reducing recovery time.
How long does it take to heal after a CO2 laser or fractional laser treatment?
Recovery time depends on the intensity of the treatment. With CO2 laser treatment, healing can take 7 to 10 days, while with fractional laser treatment, recovery time is often only 3 to 5 days.
Does laser treatment also help with enlarged pores?
Yes, both the CO2 and fractional lasers are effective in refining large pores by improving skin texture and stimulating collagen production.
How long should I avoid sunbathing after laser treatment?
Direct sun exposure should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks after treatment to prevent pigment changes. A high-factor sunscreen should always be used.
