Would you like to have radiantly beautiful skin and effectively combat unwanted signs of aging? Then Fractional laser therapy with the CO2 laser in Zurich may be the right choice for you.
In fractional laser treatment, laser pulses penetrate the uppermost skin layers at specific points. They gently achieve skin tightening and stimulate the skin's regenerative processes without damaging the surrounding tissue. The result is gently rejuvenated skin with a short healing time and minimal Downtime.
We recommend the CO2 laser in Zurich for gentle wrinkle treatment on the face, for rejuvenating the neck and décolleté, for increasing radiance, and for correcting irregularities in the skin appearance. Scars, stretch marks, and skin growths can be gently removed.
At KALEIDOSCOP in Zurich, you will be treated by a team of specialists led by Dr. Köhler, who has many years of experience in Laser therapy. We would be happy to provide you with expert advice on how the CO2 laser in Zurich can be used for long-lasting and effective skin renewal.
Information about CO2 laser
Definition of CO2 laser
The CO2 laser is a fractional precision laser that corrects changes in the skin appearance in two ways. Irregularities such as scars or growths are gently removed; changes in the skin structure such as wrinkles, loss of elasticity, or lack of radiance are treated with targeted laser pulses.
The laser pulses penetrate the skin fractionally, i.e. selectively, while protecting the surrounding tissue. The thermal effect gently achieves skin tightening and stimulates cell renewal and collagen formation. Over a period of several weeks to months, the skin renews itself and appears sustainably rejuvenated.
Reasons for treatment with the CO2 laser
There are various reasons for wanting CO2 laser treatment. Some people want to do something about progressive Skin aging, while others want to correct Acne scars and other irregularities in their skin appearance. Both are possible with the CO2 precision laser.
Reasons for treatment with the CO2 laser in Zurich may include:
- Smoothing lines and wrinkles

The CO2 laser treatment process
Preparation for treatment
Before treatment with the CO2 laser, a personal consultation takes place in Zurich. You will learn what Fractional laser therapy can achieve and what results are realistic. We will also provide you with comprehensive information about possible Side effects and risks.
After a careful skin analysis, your skin rejuvenation with the CO2 laser in Zurich will be individually planned and tailored to your needs.
Laser treatment should not be performed on pre-tanned skin, which is why we recommend consistent sun protection for several weeks prior to your treatment appointment. You should also refrain from visiting the solarium during this time.
Performing the treatment with the CO2 laser
In Zurich, we welcome you to your treatment appointment in a relaxed atmosphere. Final details will be discussed with you once again before the Laser treatment can begin. For maximum comfort, we are happy to apply an anesthetic ointment. Apart from that, no Anesthesia is necessary, as fractional Laser treatment is a painless procedure.
The CO2 laser is slowly guided over all areas to be treated in Zurich. The device emits controlled Laser pulses, which cause gentle warming and stimulate the regenerative processes in the skin. Superficial changes are gently removed. You may feel a slight tingling or pulling sensation during the treatment. The skin surface is cooled immediately and then cooled extensively again after the Treatment.
Depending on your treatment goal, therapy with the CO2 laser in Zurich can be repeated several times. We schedule the individual appointments at intervals of several weeks so that the skin can recover completely in between.
Aftercare
After your CO2 laser therapy, you are welcome to continue cooling the treatment area. Avoid sun and heat for a few weeks and do not scratch the skin, even if slight flaking occurs. The scabs are a normal reaction to the CO2 laser.
In Zurich, we will be happy to advise you on how to reduce mild Itching and support your skin's regeneration with tailored care.
Frequently asked questions about CO2 laser treatment
How does CO2 laser therapy work?
Treatment with the CO2 laser in Zurich is a so-called fractional laser treatment. Laser pulses penetrate the skin at specific points and stimulate the natural regeneration processes there. Large areas of the skin surface remain intact, allowing the skin to recover more quickly.
The laser pulses cause lasting skin rejuvenation. The skin structure appears firmer, more radiant, and fresher. Irregularities in the Skin appearance are gently removed.
What applications is the CO2 laser used for in Zurich?
We use the CO2 laser in Zurich for gentle skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, and improvement of the skin structure. For example, fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced in the face, neck, and décolleté areas. Coarse-pored skin is refined. Treatment of the sensitive periorbital area is also possible.
Furthermore, the CO2 laser can be used in Zurich to reduce irregularities in the skin appearance such as growths, Age spots, acne scars, and other scars. In other areas of the body such as the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs, it is possible to reduce pregnancy and stretch marks.
What does the skin look like immediately after Laser treatment?
Immediately after CO2 laser therapy, the skin may be slightly swollen and reddened. Often, slight scabbing occurs, which should not be removed manually. With careful skin care, the fine scabs should fall off on their own within a few days.
How many sessions does fractional Laser treatment involve?
Depending on the treatment goal, therapy with the CO2 laser in Zurich can involve around 3-4 sessions. Often, only one application is needed to remove skin changes, but lasting skin renewal requires a little more patience.
Our specialists led by Dr. Köhler will plan your Laser treatment individually, taking into account your skin texture and needs. If necessary, further Sessions can be planned after the treatment course has been completed if the Result is not yet completely satisfactory.
What results are possible and how long do they last?
Fractional laser treatment actively supports the skin's regeneration process. After repeated applications, the skin structure appears firmer, finer, and more radiant. Since collagen formation in the skin is supported, the results have a longevity of several years. Skin changes such as growths, Scars, or Pigment spots can be permanently removed in many cases.
How long does healing take after CO2 laser treatment?
Fractional laser therapy leaves large areas of the skin surface intact, resulting in a very short healing time. Often, there is no or only minimal downtime of a few days. Healing should be complete after 2 months at the latest, so that we can assess the results together in Zurich.
Is CO2 laser therapy in Zurich painful?
For skin renewal, we use a state-of-the-art laser system that is extremely gentle on the skin surface and continuously cools it during application. This makes CO2 laser therapy less painful than many comparable treatments. For additional comfort, a local anesthetic cream can be applied.
Are there any risks associated with fractional Laser treatment?
Fractional laser therapy is a gentle and safe treatment when performed by a qualified practitioner. At KALEIDOSCOP in Zurich, you will be treated by an experienced team of specialists led by Dr. Köhler, so you are always in good hands with us.
Mild side effects such as swelling, Redness, or slight skin flaking are completely normal and no cause for concern.
As the skin is very sensitive to light after treatment, consistent UV protection must be ensured, otherwise pigmentation changes may occur.
How much does CO2 laser treatment cost in Zurich?
Treatment with the CO2 laser in Zurich is planned individually according to the customer's wishes, so the costs may vary slightly.
