CO2 LASER Paris

Dermato Aesthetic Clinic – Paris, 16rd

The purpose of the fractional CO₂ laser is to correct wrinkles, scars, stretch marks and skin irregularities, by intensely stimulating cell renewal. At the Renécia Clinic, we use the eCO2 from Lutronic, a latest generation laser renowned for its efficiency and the lightness of its suites.

Thanks to its fractional technology, it targets the skin by micro-zones treated in a fractional manner, triggering a deep repair without damaging the surrounding tissue. This will give you smoother, firmer and visibly regenerated skin.

What is CO2 laser?

Fractional CO₂ laser is an aesthetic medicine technique used to treat skin aging, texture imperfections (enlarged pores, irregularities), wrinkles, scars (especially acne scars) and pigment spots. This laser acts both on the surface, eliminating damaged cells, and deeper, reactivating collagen production.

A principle of action based on skin regeneration

Unlike a continuous laser which treats the entire surface of the skin, the laser split acts by creating a multitude of micro heat sink (or micro-ablation zones) spaced from areas of healthy skin. This diffusion method allows:

  • Trigger a natural healing process accelerated by the skin.
  • Stimulate the production of new collagen in the dermis.
  • Improve texture, tone and clarity of the complexion.
  • Reduce side effects and speed up recovery time.

Latest generation technology at the Renécia Clinic

At the Renécia Clinic, we use the eCO2 Plus® laser from Lutronic laboratory, a global benchmark in fractional CO₂ resurfacing. Designed to combine efficiency and comfort, it offers a full spectrum of treatments ranging from ultra-superficial ablation to deep resurfacing, adapting to each patient and each indication.

Thanks to its innovative design, eCO2® guarantees more comfortable sessions, increased safety and visible, long-lasting results.

Le eCO2 Plus® laser combines power, precision and safety, making it one of the most efficient devices on the market to offer our patients visibly smoother, more even and rejuvenated skin.

Who is the CO2 laser for?

Treatment with eCO2 Plus® fractional CO₂ laser is for people who want to visibly improve the quality of their skin without resorting to surgery. It is suitable for both women and men with signs of skin aging, texture irregularities, or scars.

It is particularly suitable for:

  • Wrinkles and fine lines (especially around the eyes and mouth)
  • Acne scars or post-traumatic scars
  • Mild to moderate skin sagging
  • Enlarged pores and thickened skin
  • Dull complexion and loss of radiance
  • Superficial pigment spots
  • Recent stretch marks, in some cases

Thanks to technology eCO2 Plus®, the treatment can be tailored very precisely, ranging from gentle resurfacing with a short recovery time to a deeper and more intensive action depending on needs.

This laser is also customizable for all phototypes (skin colors), subject to prior medical assessment. The ability to finely adjust the depth, density and pulse mode guarantees optimal safety, even on thin or slightly sensitive skin.

 

How does a CO2 laser session take place?

Treatment with CO₂ eCO2 Plus® fractional laser At the Renécia Clinic, treatment relies on cutting-edge technology that combines performance, personalization, and comfort. Here are the key steps of a session:

Before the session

A personalized medical consultation is essential. It allows:

  • To analyze your skin, your phototype and your goals.
  • To eliminate contraindications (pregnancy, active herpes, photosensitizing treatments, etc.).
  • To determine the appropriate protocol: intensity, depth, number of sessions, areas to be treated.

Skin preparation:

  • An anesthetic cream is applied 30 to 45 minutes before the session, for optimal comfort.
  • The skin is carefully cleaned and disinfected just before treatment.

During the session

The doctor uses the eCO2 Plus® laser, by finely adjusting the parameters according to your needs (wrinkles, scars, sagging skin, pigment spots, etc.).

After the session

  • Immediately after: A feeling of warmth (similar to sunburn) is common. A soothing and healing cream is applied. The skin appears red and sometimes slightly swollen.
  • In the following days: fine crusts or brown microdots may appear, a sign of the skin regeneration process. These effects disappear in 5 to 7 days depending on the intensity of the treatment.
  • Gradually, the skin renews itself to reveal a smoother, more radiant texture and a visibly rejuvenated complexion.

Post-treatment recommendations:

  • Moisturize the skin daily with suitable care.
  • Avoid all sun exposure for 4 to 6 weeks, with strict application of a total SPF50+ screen.
  • Do not apply makeup to the treated area and avoid excessive heat (steam room, intense sport) for a few days.

CO2 laser technique

Le Lutronic eCO2 Plus® is a latest generation fractional CO₂ laser, designed to perform skin resurfacing with extreme precision. It works by controlled photoablation and targeted thermal stimulation, to improve skin texture, reduce scars, smooth wrinkles, reduce dark spots and treat sagging skin.

A fractionated beam for targeted action and faster recovery

Unlike a conventional CO₂ laser which treats the entire skin surface, the fractional laser delivers spaced microbeams (microheat sinks), leaving islands of healthy skin between each treated area. This approach promotes:

  • Rapid tissue regeneration,
  • Reduced healing time,
  • Better tolerance and increased safety, even in delicate areas.

Exclusive technologies for greater performance and comfort

  • Accuracy of 0,1 mm : allows ultra-fine control of depth and energy delivered.
  • CCT® (Chaos Controlled Technology) : diffuses energy randomly to avoid excessive heat buildup, reduce side effects and improve patient comfort.
  • EcoTone™ : a light resurfacing method, requiring very little recovery time, ideal for a “radiance boost” effect.
  • Optimized pain management : The eCO2 design incorporates advanced discomfort reduction, allowing for better tolerated sessions compared to traditional CO₂ lasers.

A customizable treatment for all skin types

Thanks to this precision and the variety of possible protocols, the treatment is highly customizable:

  • Depending on the area (face, neck, décolleté, hands, scars, etc.),
  • Depending on the indication (wrinkles, spots, scars, dilated pores, sagging, etc.),
  • And according to phototype, including dark to matte skin (subject to medical assessment and an adapted protocol).

The different areas that can be treated using the CO2 laser

Le eCO2 Plus™ laser acts with great precision on different areas of the face and body, including the most delicate:

  • Full face: to improve texture, tighten pores, reduce wrinkles, scars and spots.
  • Eye contour: to smooth fine lines and improve the tone of the eyelids.
  • Upper and lower eyelids: as part of “medical blepharoplasty,” a non-surgical alternative to eyelid surgery.
  • Lips and mouth contour (barcode wrinkles).
  • Neck and décolleté: fragile areas, to even out the skin and treat sagging.
  • Back of hands: to fade spots and improve skin quality.
  • Scars: post-acne, post-surgical or post-traumatic.
  • Stretch marks (recent or old), located on the hips, thighs, stomach or breasts.
  • Caesarean section scars or scars from cosmetic procedures.

What are the results ?

Le eCO2 Plus™ fractional CO₂ laser offers a deep and lasting regeneration of the skin, with an efficiency/comfort ratio superior to older generations of lasers.

Visible benefits:

  • From the first session: smoother skin, refined texture, luminous complexion.
  • After several sessions:
    • Visible reduction of superficial wrinkles,
    • Significant improvement in scars (acne, post-surgical),
    • Lightening of pigment spots,
    • Overall firming and improved skin tone.
  • The results are amplified in the months that follow, thanks to the continuous collagen stimulation.

  • Photorejuvenation: improvement of skin texture, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Treatment of acne scars, surgical or traumatic.
  • Elimination of pigment spots linked to the sun or aging.
  • Overall skin firming and rejuvenation, including delicate areas such as the neck and décolleté.
