The technology behind our CO₂ laser in Hamburg
The eCO₂ laser is one of the most advanced laser systems available and a key component of our dermatological aesthetics. It is an ablative system, meaning it uses focused, high-energy light to precisely target the upper layers of the skin. This light—typically with a wavelength of around 10,600 nanometers—is absorbed by the water within skin cells, causing controlled vaporization of these cells without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The thermal effect simultaneously removes old skin structures while deeply stimulating collagen fibers in the dermis — a crucial factor in long-term skin rejuvenation. One of the laser’s major advantages lies in its precise adjustability: intensity and depth can be customized to match your individual skin type and specific needs.
This allows our CO₂ laser in Hamburg to deliver a targeted, gentle, and effective rejuvenation treatment across microscopic skin zones — restoring smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin with every session.
The deep-acting effect on your skin
By creating precisely targeted micro-injuries deep within your skin’s structure, we stimulate the body’s natural healing and regeneration processes. This triggers the production of new collagen and elastin fibers — proteins that are essential for firmness, elasticity, and a youthful glow.
Following the treatment, your skin begins to renew itself from within. You’ll notice that fine lines smooth out, pigmentation irregularities fade, scar tissue softens, and enlarged pores appear refined — resulting in a visibly smoother, more even, and radiant complexion.
A noticeable rejuvenation for our patients — without the need for surgery.
Which areas and skin concerns can be treated with the CO₂ laser?
In our Hamburg practice, the CO₂ laser is used for a wide range of treatments. Thanks to its precision and adaptability, it can also be safely applied to more delicate areas of the body, effectively addressing multiple skin concerns.
The most commonly treated areas include:
What does the CO₂ laser do for facial rejuvenation?
The face is the mirror of our life — and with its particularly delicate skin, it reveals the strengths of the CO₂ laser most clearly. The targeted action in the deeper skin layers protects the thin surface while strongly stimulating the natural regeneration process.
Typical treatment areas on the face include:
The result is visible skin rejuvenation that looks completely natural. Unlike other methods, the CO₂ laser does not change your facial features — it simply restores what was already there: your youthful radiance.
Is CO₂ laser treatment painful?
Because of how the laser works, many patients wonder whether the treatment is painful. You can rest assured — the eCO₂ laser is generally very well tolerated. For sensitive skin or larger areas, numbing creams or local anesthesia are always available. During the session, most patients describe a mild burning or stinging sensation, which is tolerable and subsides quickly. Afterwards, the skin may feel similar to a mild sunburn, which typically fades within 1–2 days. For larger facial areas, we recommend taking a short recovery period of about 4–5 days. From your first consultation to post-treatment care, our experienced team is here to guide and support you through every step of your CO₂ laser treatment in Hamburg.
The process of your CO₂ laser treatment in Hamburg
As with any dermatological procedure, your CO₂ laser treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation. We assess your skin condition, discuss your personal goals, and review any possible contraindications. We also take time to answer all your questions — because only an informed decision will truly feel right. To start, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped with a numbing cream. For best results, please come to your appointment without makeup. Depending on the treatment area, the laser procedure itself takes between 15 and 60 minutes. Afterwards, we soothe your skin with specialized care products and provide detailed aftercare instructions for home. Mild redness or light crusting during the first few days is completely normal and part of your skin’s natural regeneration process. Depending on your skin’s condition and goals, a single session may already achieve visible results. For some areas, however, we recommend a series of CO₂ laser treatments spaced a few weeks apart to ensure optimal outcomes.
How long do the results last?
Your skin’s regenerative processes unfold over the weeks and months following the treatment, as the new production of collagen and elastin takes time to develop. Soon after, you’ll notice smoother, fresher-looking skin.
The effects typically last 12 to 24 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. For long-term and consistent results, we recommend regular maintenance sessions in our dermatology practice.
Are there any side effects?
As with all aesthetic treatments, minor side effects can occur. Thanks to our precise technique and extensive experience, these are usually minimal. Our aftercare guidance also helps keep them to a minimum.
Right after the session, redness, mild swelling, or tightness are common. In the following days, a light crust formation may appear — a normal sign that your skin is regenerating.
Rarely, especially in sensitive skin, a post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may develop if UV protection is insufficient. With proper aftercare and professional follow-up, this can usually be avoided.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns — we want you to feel completely at ease and confident throughout your treatment.
Our eCO₂ Laser by Lutronic
The Lutronic eCO₂ Laser is one of the most advanced fractional ablative systems available, offering a wide range of rejuvenation options. It combines the strengths of classic CO₂ lasers with patented Controlled Chaos Technology (CCT™) — an algorithm that precisely spaces each micro-laser pulse to allow the skin to release heat efficiently, resulting in less discomfort, shorter downtime, and faster healing.
Lutronic’s system includes three interchangeable tips in various spot sizes that are automatically recognized by the device. This allows precise adjustments in depth, intensity, and pulse duration for every skin type and indication.
For our patients, this means: cutting-edge technology in expert hands, guided by deep dermatological understanding and aesthetic precision — for results that inspire both trust and confidence.
