What is CO2 Laser and how does it work?
Considered one of the most advanced technologies in the medical and dermatological field, its mechanism of action is based on the emission of carbon dioxide light with a wavelength of 10,600 nm, which is absorbed by the water present in the skin cells and other tissues. As a result, this absorption generates a controlled vaporisation effect, eliminating damaged cells layer by layer without affecting healthy tissues. Consequently, the treatment remains both precise and highly localised.
Developed by DEKA, it incorporates a significant innovation: the combination of CO2 laser with bipolar radiofrequency (RF). This combination not only allows the ablation of superficial tissues, but also the controlled heating of deeper layers, stimulating collagen regeneration and improving skin quality.
In addtion, the system is designed with PSD® (Pulse Shape Design) technology, which allows the laser pulses to be customised in different modes according to the needs of the treatment. In this way, highly personalised procedures can be performed, maximising efficacy, minimising damage to healthy tissue and improving recovery.
What are the main medical treatments that can be performed with the SmartXide2 CO2 Laser?
Several areas of medicine benefit from the use of SmartXide2 CO2, a tool that offers safe and effective treatments in dermatology, plastic surgery, gynaecology, proctology and other specialties.
This device is widely used for the removal of benign and some malignant skin lesions, such as:
- Nevus (moles) and seborrheic keratoses: Laser removal prevents bleeding and improves healing.
- Warts and fibroids: Fast and precise removal.
- Syringomas
- Ruby spots or angiomas
- Actinic keratosis
- Superficial basal cell carcinomas: reduction of tissue damage, avoiding more invasive procedures
Benefits:
✔ Millimetric precision in the removal of lesions.
✔ Minimises scar formation.
✔ No sutures required, reducing recovery time.
CO2 laser is one of the best options for improving hypertrophic and atrophic scars. By combining laser ablation with radiofrequency:
- Irregular surface layers of the skin are removed.
- Collagen formation in the deep layers is stimulated, regenerating scar tissue.
Benefits:
✔ Reduction of scar thickness and redness.
✔ Improved flexibility and aesthetic appearance of the skin.
✔ Improved thickness and texture of hypertrophic scars and complex lesions such as keloids.
✔ Safe technique for all areas of the body.
SmartXide2 has proven to be highly effective in non-invasive gynaecological treatments, such as:
- Vaginal rejuvenation: restoration of vaginal tissue tone and elasticity.
- Mild urinary incontinence: Stimulation of the mucosa to improve the firmness of the pelvic floor.
- Vaginal dryness and postmenopausal atrophy: Improved lubrication and increased vascularisation.
Benefits:
✔ Fast, outpatient procedure.
✔ No need for surgery or prolonged recovery.
✔ Natural restoration of vaginal function.
In proctological surgery, the CO2 laser is used for:
- Removal of haemorrhoids without a scalpel (laser haemorrhoidectomy).
- Treatment of anal fistulas and fissures.
- Resection of anal condylomas.
Benefits
✔ Less painful procedure than conventional surgery.
✔ Less bleeding and faster recovery.
✔ Decreased risk of postoperative infections.

CO2 Laser Application in Surgery: Precision and Minimal Invasion
This technology plays a key role in surgery, its ability to cut, coagulate and vaporise tissue with great precision makes it a versatile and effective surgical instrument in multiple medical procedures.
Main Benefits of the Use of CO2 Laser in Surgery:
✔ Extreme precision: Cuts accurately without affecting adjacent tissues.
✔ Less bleeding: The laser energy coagulates blood vessels at the same time as it cuts.
✔ Reduced risk of infection: The vaporisation of tissue kills bacteria, decreasing postoperative infections.
✔ Faster recovery: Less swelling and less post-surgical pain.
✔ Improved healing: Reduces the formation of hypertrophic scars.
Step-by-step of a CO2 Laser treatment
Step 1: Analysis of the clinical history and examination
Before a CO2 laser session the doctor will analyse your medical history and examine the lesion or condition to be treated, in order to determine the most appropriate treatment for your case. All therapeutic options, benefits, risks and objectives of each option will be carefully explained to determine the best treatment plan.
Step 2: Treatment
On the day of the procedure, the area is prepared with a cleaning and, in most cases, topical or local anaesthesia will be applied to ensure the patient's comfort. The CO2 laser is then used with the appropriate intensity and parameters according to the specific treatment. The light beam acts in a controlled manner on the superficial or deeper layer of the skin, depending on the pathology. After the treatment, soothing products are applied and aftercare is prescribed.
Step 3: Aftercare
After the treatment, care instructions will be given out (such as avoiding sun exposure and maintaining adequate hydration) to promote the best possible recovery and obtain optimal results. Generally, the recovery process takes 7 to 14 days depending on the depth of the procedure.
Connection with Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery
In addition to medical benefits, SmartXide2 also offers aesthetic applications such as skin regeneration and facial rejuvenation. Its ability to treat delicate areas, such as the neck and neckline, makes it a highly versatile option.
Beyond its applications in dermatology and aesthetic medicine, it also plays a key role in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Find out more about its benefits at our aesthetic clinic.
