Pixel CO2 Laser in Zurich

Skin rejuvenation and pigment treatment

Precise and gentle on the skin – this is how modern laser treatment works in Zurich! At the Swiss Derma Clinic, we treat you with the latest generation of laser devices. Gentle, effective, and millimeter precise. With the Pixel CO2 Laser, we can specifically reduce wrinkles, scars, and pigment disorders. Unlike conventional methods, your skin only partially comes into contact with the laser light. The advantages are:

Minimal tissue damage
No to low downtime
Suitable for sensitive skin
Short treatment times
Large area application on the back possible

The applications include:

Pigmentation disorders
Decreasing elasticity
Acne scars
Wrinkles
Irregular complexion
Sun damage
Keratinization

In our practice in Zurich, we combine the treatment with the Pixel CO2 Laser with innovative biostimulators and other wrinkle treatments - depending on the desired treatment goal. The laser treatment activates collagen production. As a result, the connective tissue tightens in the weeks after the treatment. It becomes firmer, the skin structure more even. This method is also suitable for the neck, décolleté, and back.

Do you wish for a more even and firmer skin texture? Then make your appointment now - and let yourself be convinced by the effect of the CO2 laser treatment.

Lifting effects through fractional CO2 laser

Typical for sun-damaged skin are large area discolorations. The complexion appears uneven and blotchy overall. Our experienced specialists use fractional laser treatment for excessive and harmless pigmentation on the face, back of the hands, or body. Another area of application is redness in the cheek and forehead area and skin aging. For slightly pronounced frown lines or nasolabial folds and for wrinkles around the mouth (pleat wrinkles), we can achieve aesthetic lifting effects with the CO2 laser.

FAQ

What is the procedure for CO2 laser treatment in Zurich?

The consultation

First, we conduct an intensive consultation and advisory session with you. Our specialists examine your skin and show you the effects you can expect from the laser treatment. Possible side effects and risks are also discussed. In many cases, a single session is sufficient. For deep acne scars or significant wrinkle formation, we may need several consecutive appointments.

The day of treatment

On the day of treatment, the treatment area is cleaned and prepared for the CO2 laser with a light numbing cream. In individual cases, local anesthetic injections can also be used, making your skin completely insensitive. The first application follows, usually lasting between thirty minutes and an hour - depending on the area to be treated.

During the CO2 laser treatment, you may feel a slight burning or prickling sensation. Such reactions are completely normal and part of the application. The laser light is delivered in small pulses. In this way, fine channels are created in the connective tissue, reaching deep into the skin layers.

Skin regeneration is activated.

On this day, your skin will be reddened and resemble a moderate sunburn. The sensation of heat can be somewhat reduced by cooling compresses or masks.

The following weeks

In the following days, tiny pinpoint inflammations may occur. In addition, crusting and swelling in the treatment area. These side effects subside after a maximum of one week. The tissue has already begun regenerating – a gentle process that lasts up to three months. During this time, your skin texture will become increasingly clearer, finer-pored, and firmer. Important note: Pay attention to sufficient sun protection in the weeks following the treatment.

Follow-up appointments

Approximately seven days after the laser treatment, a first follow-up appointment takes place at the Swiss Derma Clinic. We look at your skin and the first results together and discuss the next steps. And you will receive tips for proper skin care in the coming weeks. Note: The exact timing of follow-up appointments can vary individually.

When will I see the first results?

Many patients notice improvements just a few days after the first treatment with the CO2 laser. The skin appears firmer overall and the complexion more refined. Pigmentation spots and deeper scars take longer, here the regeneration can stretch over several weeks. The improvement then occurs gradually.

Is the Pixel CO2 laser suitable for the entire body?

The treatment with the fractional CO2 laser is basically suitable for all parts of the body. In our practice in Zurich, this primarily includes the face, hands, and décolleté. For acne scars, the back area is also treated. Here we can apply the laser over a large area, with relatively minor side effects.

Is the treatment with the CO2 laser painful?

The laser treatment with the CO2 laser can cause a slight stinging, burning sensation and a feeling of warmth on the skin. To minimize your discomfort during the treatment, we prepare your skin with a numbing cream.

For which skin is the treatment with the Pixel CO2 laser suitable?

The laser treatment is particularly suitable for slack skin with initial wrinkles and for large-pored and spotty skin. This also includes the typical skin condition after healed acne, with scars and red spots. With the CO2 laser, we can also reach deep skin layers. Since the CO2 laser does not affect entire skin areas but individual microchannels, the side effects and redness after the treatment are moderate. We also treat sensitive skin with the laser.
