CO2 laser
Deeply effective skin renewal, smooth texture, natural firming

The fractionated CO2 laser is a state-of-the-art solution for skin rejuvenation and the treatment of minor skin damage. It aims to tighten and smooth the tissue and give it a youthful freshness.

Definition of
What is a CO2 laser treatment?
The CO2 laser creates microscopically fine, punctiform treatment zones. Aged skin is gently removed on the surface, while the heat in deeper layers leads to “remodeling” with new collagen formation. The result: smoother skin, clearer contours and a more even complexion. The method is ideal for mild to moderate signs of ageing and is versatile. In the case of pronounced wrinkles or severe excess skin, it complements surgical approaches. It is often combined with vitamin C boosters to optimize regeneration.
These areas can be treated with the CO2 laser:
- Face (overall renewal, eye/mouth area)
- Neck and décolleté
- Hands (age spots, skin tightening)
- Scars (acne, surgery, stretch marks)
- Pigment disorders
Treatment methods
Possibilities of the CO2 laser in Frankfurt
We select the intensity and technique based on your skin type, the findings and your individual needs. Possible applications include
- Skin rejuvenation: The CO2 laser smoothes fine lines, refines texture and reduces pores through targeted ablation and collagen stimulation. Particularly effective for sun-damaged skin or the first signs of ageing.
- Scar and pigment treatment: acne scars, surgical scars or age spots are removed and replaced by newly forming skin. The thermal effect improves the structure in the long term.
- Eyelid lift This gentle renewal of the delicate eyelid skin reduces wrinkles, tightens slight excess skin and opens up the gaze – as an alternative to surgery.
- Combination treatments: The laser treatment can be combined with other minimally invasive treatments such as botulinum, fillers, biostimulants or peelings. This creates a holistic, harmonious result.

Risks
What are the risks of treatment with the CO2 laser?
If the CO2 laser is used correctly, the treatment is considered low-risk. With Dr. Abuagela, you benefit from a great deal of experience and structured safety standards, meaning that serious complications are extremely rare. Typical, temporary reactions are slight redness and swelling; occasionally small bruises may occur. Depending on the intensity, you will often be able to socialize again after a few days once the top layer of skin has peeled off.
We rarely see prolonged redness, infections or herpes reactivation; pigment shifts can usually be avoided with consistent UV protection (SPF 50+). Through precise indication and structured aftercare, we minimize risks and accompany you closely through the healing phase.
Costs & financing
How much does treatment with the CO2 laser cost?
The treatment costs depend on the area (e.g. face, neck, individual zones), the required intensity and the number of sessions. Any combination treatments also influence the cost. As every skin has different needs, we create an individual plan with a transparent calculation. The price for a CO2 laser treatment in Frankfurt generally starts at around €599*. The price includes all medical services, a detailed consultation, individual treatment planning, laser treatment and aftercare appointments.
*The actual services are billed according to the scale of fees for doctors (GOÄ).
