Smartxide² Fractional CO2 Laser
What is Smartxide² Fractional CO2 Laser?
Smartxide² Fractional CO2 Laser is an ablative laser technology similar to PicoSure and Fotona Q-Switched Nd:Yag Laser for skin resurfacing. A medical-grade fractional CO2 laser designed for high-performance skin resurfacing.
How does Smartxide² Fractional CO2 Laser work?
The skin resurfacing technology helps to remove pigmentation and scarring on your skin surface, such as with your acne scars, birthmarks, stretch marks, moles and warts, age spots and pigmentation, or even skin tags!
As the name suggests, the laser treatment makes use of beams of carbon dioxide. These beams are pixelated into thousands of little streams of light. These smaller light streams will remove columns or shafts of damaged skin surface, and reveal a new layer of skin right underneath it. The skin around these columns are left intact to help your skin heal faster.
Fractional CO2 Laser has one of the longest wavelengths compared to other laser treatments in the market, so you can use this even on darker skin types! The longer wavelengths also mean that you can treat issues which are a little deeper in your skin – such as your wrinkles, surgical scars, sun damage and severe skin discoloration and texture changes caused by any other factors.
Fractional CO2 Laser can also be easily customized to fit each patient and different body parts to provide just enough laser penetration depth needed to resolve your skin problems.

Frequently Asked Question
Patients may experience a warm, prickling, or stinging sensation during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is commonly applied before treatment to improve comfort. The level of discomfort varies depending on the treatment area, laser intensity, and individual pain tolerance.
Downtime typically ranges from approximately 5–10 days, depending on the laser settings, treatment intensity, and individual healing response.
Patients may experience redness, swelling, dryness, mild crusting, or peeling during recovery. Some redness may persist longer, particularly after more intensive treatments. Proper aftercare and sun protection are essential to support healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Fractional CO2 Laser treatments typically take up about 15 to 30 minutes only. If you’re using this treatment for scars, moles or stretch marks, you may need multiple sessions to allow them to fade over time. You can have these treatments on a monthly basis until your problem is resolved, but the frequency and total treatments will still vary per patient.
Fractional CO2 Laser is an ablative resurfacing treatment that creates microscopic treatment zones to improve skin texture, acne scars, and wrinkles through collagen remodelling.
Pico Laser uses ultra-short laser pulses and is commonly used to address selected pigmentation concerns and certain acne scars, depending on the device and treatment settings.
Fractional CO2 Laser generally involves more visible downtime, while Pico Laser treatments often require less recovery time. The most suitable treatment depends on whether the primary concern is pigmentation, scarring, skin texture, or a combination of concerns.
Fractional CO2 Laser may help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by improving skin texture and stimulating collagen production around the treated areas. As the skin undergoes gradual collagen remodelling, pores may become less noticeable, creating a smoother-looking complexion.
