If you have struggled with stubborn acne scars that don’t fade with creams or home remedies, CO2 laser therapy may be the best acne scar treatment for you. This treatment uses a carbon dioxide laser to gently remove damaged skin layers and stimulate new collagen production. Over time, it helps fade scars, refine skin texture, and restore elasticity.
Our CO2 laser procedure is effective for:
Many patients looking for acne scar treatment in Malaysia choose Regions Clinic because of our expertise, advanced technology, and personalized approach.
There are two main types of CO2 laser scar removal:
Traditional CO2 laser resurfacing: This involves removing the entire top layer of skin in the treated area, resulting in significant improvement in scar appearance. However, it also comes with longer downtime and a higher risk of complications.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing: This newer technology creates tiny microscopic columns of thermal injury in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact. This results in faster healing, less downtime, and a lower risk of side effects compared to traditional CO2 resurfacing, while still providing significant scar improvement.
Here’s a simplified step-by-step process of how CO2 laser scar removal works:
Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Laser Application: The CO2 laser device is passed over the scar tissue, delivering precise pulses of laser energy.
Tissue Vaporization: The laser energy is absorbed by the water in the skin cells, causing them to vaporize and remove the damaged tissue.
Collagen Stimulation: The heat generated by the laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the deeper layers of the skin.
Healing: The treated area heals as new, healthy skin cells regenerate and replace the damaged tissue. Over time, the scar becomes less noticeable as the new collagen and elastin fibers continue to remodel the skin.
CO2 laser resurfacing can make a real difference for people who struggle with scars or uneven skin. You may be a suitable candidate if you have:
At Regions Clinic, our doctors often recommend fractional CO2 laser for scar treatment. Unlike older, traditional CO2 lasers that remove the entire top skin layer, fractional CO2 creates tiny micro-columns in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This advanced method helps your skin heal faster, reduces downtime, and lowers the risk of complications, while stimulating collagen to renew and repair the skin from within.
With the right treatment plan, fractional CO2 laser can significantly improve the appearance of scars and restore smoother, healthier-looking skin.

A CO2 laser is a medical-grade device that uses a carbon dioxide beam to gently resurface or remove layers of skin. It works by targeting water molecules in skin cells, which helps vaporize damaged tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen. This process improves skin texture, reduces scars, and restores a smoother, healthier appearance.
CO2 laser treatment is widely used for both medical and cosmetic purposes. It can:
At Regions Clinic, the most common use is laser treatment for acne scars, where patients want safe and effective skin resurfacing with proven results.
CO2 laser treatment can cause minimal discomfort, but most patients find it very manageable. To keep you comfortable, a numbing cream or local anesthesia is applied before the procedure. You may notice a warm or tingling sensation during treatment, yet this is usually mild and temporary. Our doctors are there to guide you through each step and ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible.
Recovery time depends on the type of CO2 laser used and the depth of treatment. With fractional CO2 laser, most patients experience redness and mild swelling for a few days and can return to daily activities quickly. For deeper resurfacing, healing may take one to two weeks. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and minimize downtime, ensuring the best possible results.
