When we speak of true skin transformation, the CO2 laser remains the gold standard of aesthetic dermatology.
CO2 SMAXEL® represents the latest generation of fractional CO2 laser, combining ablative and thermal energy to simultaneously deliver:
- removal of damaged tissue
- collagen stimulation
- deep skin regeneration
Notably, the CO2 laser operates at a wavelength of 10,600 nm, which has an exceptionally high affinity for water in tissue, enabling precise ablation and powerful biostimulation of the dermis.
The result is not merely an improvement, but a complete restoration of skin quality.
The skin becomes:
- smoother
- firmer
- more even
- visibly rejuvenated
How is the treatment performed?
CO2 SMAXEL® works by creating microthermal zones (MTZ):
- controlled microscopic injuries
- activation of fibroblasts
- stimulation of neocollagenesis and dermal remodelling
The treatment includes:
- skin preparation
- laser application (depending on the protocol)
- regenerative aftercare
- tailored post-procedure guidance
It addresses:
→ wrinkles and fine lines
→ scars (particularly acne scars)
→ skin texture
→ pores
→ pigmentation
What sets CO2 SMAXEL apart?
Compared with Candela Nordlys:
- CO2 → ablative (removes the surface layer and regenerates)
- Nordlys → non-ablative (no surface disruption)
👉 CO2 = transformation
👉 Nordlys = correction and maintenance
Compared with Morpheus8:
- CO2 → resurfacing (surface and dermis)
- Morpheus8 → deep remodelling (without ablation)
👉 CO2 refines texture and surface
👉 Morpheus8 tightens the underlying structure
Compared with HIFU:
- CO2 → skin (epidermis and dermis)
- HIFU → SMAS layer (lifting)
👉 CO2 = skin quality
👉 HIFU = lifting
CO2 SMAXEL treatment options
CO2 SMAXEL SOFT GLOW – gentle revitalisation with no downtime
A mild fractional treatment for:
- surface renewal
- improved skin texture
- a luminous “glow” effect
Ideal for:

Recovery: minimal (1–2 days of mild redness)
CO2 SMAXEL RADIANT RENEWAL – medium-intensity regeneration
A treatment for:
- wrinkles
- pigmentation
- early-stage scars
- enlarged pores
Effect:
- visibly rejuvenated skin
- refined texture
Recovery: 3–5 days
CO2 SMAXEL TOTAL RESURFACING – deep skin transformation
Our most intensive treatment, designed for:
- deep wrinkles
- pronounced scars
- photoageing
- thickened skin
Effect:
- complete skin regeneration
- long-lasting results
Recovery: 7–10 days
Who is the treatment for?
CO2 SMAXEL is ideal for those who:
- show visible signs of ageing
- wish to refine skin texture
- have acne scars
- seek a powerful anti-ageing effect
Treatment combinations (the key to outstanding results)
🔹 combinations with other lasers:
- CO2 + Candela Nordlys → pigmentation and texture
- CO2 + Frax → surface and microstructure
- CO2 + HIFU → skin quality and lifting
🔹 combinations with other treatments:
- PRP / Angel PRP (Arthrex) → accelerated regeneration
- exosomes → cellular renewal
- polynucleotides → dermal regeneration
- SkinPen microneedling → collagen induction
- biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse, Sunekos) → long-term effect
👉 this is what truly sets us apart: combining technologies for superior results
Our approach
At our laser centre, CO2 treatments are the cornerstone of regenerative dermatology.
We were among the first in Croatia to introduce advanced CO2 protocols, developing an approach that includes:
- precise control of depth and energy
- bespoke therapeutic plans
- combinations with complementary technologies
All treatments are delivered by experienced consultant dermatologists, ensuring:
- the highest standards of safety
- a carefully managed recovery
- exceptional results
For our patients, we provide what truly defines our practice:
- time
- expertise
- complete peace of mind
Preparing for the treatment
Before your treatment:
- avoid sun exposure
- discontinue retinol and acid-based products
- the skin must be healthy and free of irritation
For more intensive treatments:
- a prior consultation is essential
Recovery and precautions
Recovery depends on the intensity:
- mild → 1–2 days
- moderate → 3–5 days
- intensive → 7–10 days
Recommendations:
- SPF 50 (essential)
- avoid sun exposure
- specialised skincare
- no make-up for a defined period
When are the results visible?
- initial results → after recovery
- true results → over the following weeks (collagen synthesis)
The effect is:
- long-lasting
- progressive
