Compare the eight facial laser techniques

From superficial refreshment to deep scar correction. Each card leads to its own treatment page; the doctor chooses the laser with the right depth and energy for your skin concern.

Carbon Peel

A laser peel that refines pores, evens out the skin and gives an immediate glow, with no significant downtime.

Infini

Micro-needle radiofrequency that builds collagen deep in the skin for scars and loss of firmness.

Picoplus Rejuvenation

Picosecond laser that breaks down pigment and rejuvenates the skin with little downtime.

CO2 Fractional Laser

A powerful fractional laser for deep wrinkles, scars and sun damage, with a few days of downtime.

Fractional Laser

Fractional laser that renews the skin texture and softens fine lines and scars.

Radiofrequency

Heat energy that firms the deeper skin layers and sharpens the contours of the face.

Fotofacial

IPL light pulses against redness, pigment and a dull complexion, in short sessions.

Erbium Fractional Laser

Fractional erbium laser with a 1550 nm handpiece for targeted skin renewal and scars, with limited downtime.

Which laser suits which skin concern?

For scars the doctor mainly uses fractional laser, CO2 fractional laser and Infini: these techniques work deep in the skin and stimulate new collagen. For pigment and a dull complexion, Picoplus, fotofacial and carbon peel come into consideration, with little downtime. Deeper lasers give a stronger result but require a few days of social downtime; the doctor weighs this up with you. For superficial concerns, also compare the skin improvement overview and the three tailored peels. You can also browse the full range of Carpe Clinic treatments.

Have your skin assessed

During the consultation the doctor reviews your skin type, your skin concern and the downtime you can plan for.

Define the pathway

Only then are the laser, its settings, the number of sessions and the aftercare determined individually.

What is the difference between an ablative and a non-ablative laser?

An ablative laser removes the upper skin layer and calls for more recovery. A non-ablative laser works below the surface and leaves the skin intact. The skin concern and the time you can set aside guide the choice together.

How much time is left between two laser sessions?

The skin needs time to build collagen. Between two sessions your doctor usually allows a few weeks, depending on the technique and on how your skin responds.

Can laser be combined with a peel or with injectables?

Combining is possible, but not on the same day. Your doctor schedules a peel or injectables at another moment, so each technique can settle.
