Treatment Overview
Glowing Skin CO₂ Treatment is a fractional ablative CO₂ laser procedure widely performed in Korean dermatology clinics to address dullness, rough texture, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone. By delivering precise microthermal beams into the skin, it resurfaces the epidermis and stimulates collagen renewal, revealing brighter, smoother, and more radiant skin.
Unlike purely tightening lasers, the Glowing Skin CO₂ Treatment focuses on skin resurfacing, pore refinement, and pigment correction. It effectively targets acne scars, sun damage, enlarged pores, and overall skin dullness—providing dramatic improvements in clarity and glow with long-lasting results.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Dullness, Pigmentation, Acne Scars, Texture, Pores family (Glowing CO₂, Baby CO₂, UltraPulse CO₂, Pico Toning, MTS + Exosomes):
- Glowing CO₂: Best for glow + texture + pore tightening.
- Baby CO₂: Best for mild resurfacing with minimal downtime.
- UltraPulse CO₂: Best for deep scars and rough skin.
- Pico Toning: Best for pigmentation and tone correction.
- MTS + Exosomes: Best for glow restoration + faster healing.
