There are treatments that improve how the skin looks — and treatments that genuinely change it.
The CO2 fractional laser belongs to the second category.
It is one of the most effective dermatological procedures for skin renewal, working through ablative fractional technology — removing microscopic zones of damaged skin while simultaneously triggering powerful regeneration in the deeper layers of the dermis.
This means we don’t just act on the surface; we trigger intensive neocollagenesis, dermal remodelling and renewal of skin structure.
The result is skin that doesn’t just look fresher — it is visibly higher quality, firmer and smoother.
This is not a “quick glow” treatment.
It is a treatment for patients who want real change in their skin.
At our clinic the CO2 laser is used carefully and precisely — because its power comes with responsibility.
1. CO2 Smaxel Soft Glow – gentle ablative regeneration for a natural, radiant look
There are moments when the skin needs more than hydration — but less than an aggressive laser.
CO2 Smaxel Soft Glow is the answer to that balance.
It is a fractional CO2 laser treatment with adjusted, milder parameters that delivers skin renewal through controlled ablation and dermal stimulation, with significantly less downtime than the classical CO2 laser.
In other words — you get the power of CO2 technology, in a more refined, controlled version.
The treatment works through:
- removal of microscopic damaged skin layers
- fibroblast stimulation
- neocollagenesis and dermal remodelling
The result is skin that doesn’t look “treated”, but fresh, clean and healthy — with that discreet but visible “glow” effect.
At our clinic Soft Glow isn’t a universal treatment — it’s a carefully chosen option when we want a result without compromising the patient’s daily life.
How is the treatment performed?
CO2 Smaxel Soft Glow uses fractional laser technology that creates microscopic ablative zones in the skin (MTZs), preserving the surrounding tissue.
This triggers:
- renewal of the epidermis
- fibroblast stimulation
- collagen and elastin synthesis
- improved skin texture and tone
Unlike the classical CO2 treatment, parameters are set to achieve a balance between effectiveness and recovery time.
For optimal results, the treatment is often combined with:
- Morpheus8 for additional firming and lifting
- HIFU for action on deeper structures
- Candela Nordlys (IPL/Frax) for pigmentation and skin tone evenness
- Icoone Laser Med for recovery and microcirculation
- SkinPen microneedling for additional regeneration
- PRP and Angel PRP (Arthrex) to speed up recovery
- exosomes and polynucleotides for biostimulation
Who is the treatment for?
CO2 Smaxel Soft Glow is ideal for patients who want to:
- improve skin texture
- soften fine lines
- refresh and even out skin tone
- achieve a healthy, natural “glow”
- improve skin quality without longer recovery
Particularly suited to:
- those with the first signs of ageing
- skin that lacks glow and vitality
- patients who want a result without “downtime”
When are results visible?
The first effect is visible relatively quickly:
- fresher skin
- a subtle “glow”
- more even tone
The real result develops gradually through:
- skin renewal
- collagen synthesis
The skin becomes:
- smoother
- more elastic
- higher quality
Recovery and precautions
Compared to the classical CO2 laser, recovery is significantly shorter.
The following are possible:
- mild redness
- a feeling of warmth
- light flaking
Recovery typically takes 1–3 days.
We recommend:
- SPF protection
- avoiding sun exposure
- gentle skincare
- avoiding active products for a few days
Preparing for the treatment
Before the treatment a topical anaesthetic cream is applied for comfort.
Recommendations:
- avoid sun exposure before the treatment
- don’t arrive with active inflammation on the skin
- adjust your skincare routine according to your doctor’s instructions
Our approach
At our clinic CO2 treatments aren’t delivered routinely — they are precise and individual.
Soft Glow is delivered by experienced dermatology specialists, with:
- careful parameter setting
- skin and indication assessment
- recovery planning
We give patients what they value most:
- safety
- clarity
- a result that looks natural
Because today, luxury isn’t just the result — it’s also the way you arrive at it.

2. CO2 Smaxel Radiant Renewal – more intensive skin renewal for visible rejuvenation and texture redefinition
There are moments when the skin needs more than gentle refreshment.
When the changes aren’t just on the surface — they include texture, wrinkles and loss of dermal quality.
CO2 Smaxel Radiant Renewal was developed for exactly those situations.
It is a medium-intensity fractional ablative CO2 laser treatment, delivering stronger skin regeneration than the “light” protocols, while still providing controlled, predictable recovery.
This isn’t just about a glow effect — it’s about a visible transformation in skin quality.
The treatment works through:
- ablation of damaged epidermal layers
- fibroblast stimulation
- intensive neocollagenesis
- remodelling of the dermal matrix
The result is skin that, over time, becomes smoother, firmer, more even and visibly rejuvenated.
At our clinic Radiant Renewal isn’t a “standard laser” — it’s a carefully chosen therapy when we want a clearly visible result, with controlled recovery and safety.
How is the treatment performed?
CO2 Smaxel Radiant Renewal uses fractional ablative technology that creates microscopic zones of controlled injury (MTZs), preserving the surrounding tissue.
This triggers:
- regeneration of the epidermis
- fibroblast stimulation
- collagen and elastin synthesis
- renewal of dermal structure
The depth and intensity are individually adjusted to:
- the indication
- the condition of the skin
- the desired result
For optimal results, the treatment is often combined with:
- Morpheus8 for additional firming and lifting
- HIFU for action on the SMAS layer
- Candela Nordlys (IPL/Frax) for pigmentation and skin tone quality
- Icoone Laser Med for recovery and microcirculation
- PRP and Angel PRP (Arthrex) to accelerate regeneration
- exosomes for advanced biostimulation
- polynucleotides for renewal of the dermis
Who is the treatment for?
CO2 Smaxel Radiant Renewal is ideal for patients who want to:
- visibly improve skin texture
