CO2 Fractional Laser in Gangnam, Seoul

What Is CO2 Fractional Laser?

CO2 fractional laser works by creating micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and renew the dermis. It’s ideal for acne scars, fine lines, large pores, and skin laxity. Unlike ablative lasers of the past, modern CO2 systems balance efficacy with manageable downtime.

The Treatment Experience in Seoul

1. Depth & Pattern Mapping

A dermatologist evaluates skin thickness, texture, and scar depth using magnified analysis. Settings are adjusted based on your needs—from gentle rejuvenation to deep scar revision.

2. Laser Resurfacing Session

After numbing cream, the CO2 laser is applied in a grid pattern across the skin. A full-face treatment takes 30–45 minutes. Some clinics use RF-assisted CO2 for additional tightening.

3. Post-Procedure Recovery Plan

Expect redness, swelling, and slight crusting for 3–7 days. Clinics provide anti-inflammatory creams, hydration masks, and post-laser skincare guidance.

Results and Maintenance

Skin texture smooths visibly within 2–4 weeks as collagen regenerates. Acne scars and wrinkles become less prominent over 1–3 sessions. Yearly or biannual maintenance is recommended for long-term results.

Cost in Korea

A session can cost ₩400,000 to ₩1,000,000 depending on depth, size of treated area, and device model. Combination care packages (like CO2 + PRP or stem cell therapy) are common and often provide better value and recovery.

Why Choose Korea?

Korea’s dermatology clinics lead in fractional resurfacing, using devices like Lutronic eCO2 and SmartXide. Providers balance strong results with minimized recovery time through layering techniques and personalized care. Clinics also follow strict hygiene and follow-up standards.
