Candela CO₂RE

The Candela CO₂RE is a powerful, multi-functional CO₂ fractional laser system designed to deliver comprehensive skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments. Trusted by medical and aesthetic professionals worldwide, the CO₂RE system provides customizable treatment options for both superficial and deep skin concerns, making it an ideal solution for improving texture, tone, wrinkles, scars, and overall skin quality.

Overview:

Candela CO₂RE utilizes state-of-the-art CO₂ laser technology to target multiple layers of the skin simultaneously. Its fractional laser design creates microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and triggering the body’s natural healing response. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin after just one session, with ongoing improvements over time.

Key Features:

1. Dual Mode Technology:

   • The CO₂RE system offers both ablative and fractional capabilities in one device, allowing practitioners to treat a wide range of skin concerns with precision.

   • This dual functionality allows for customizable depth control, from superficial peels to deep dermal resurfacing.

2. Six Treatment Modes:

   • Light: Superficial treatments for tone and texture.

   • Mid: Moderate resurfacing with improved collagen stimulation.

   • Deep: Deeper dermal ablation for severe wrinkles and acne scarring.

   • Fusion: Combines multiple modes in one treatment for comprehensive results.

   • Classic CO₂: Traditional CO₂ laser capabilities.

   • Surgical Mode: Precision cutting and ablation for medical dermatologic procedures.

3. Versatility Across Indications:

   • Treats fine lines, deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, pigmentation, and textural irregularities.

   • Also used for vaginal rejuvenation and scar revision, making it a versatile tool in both aesthetic and medical dermatology.

4. High Precision and Speed:

   • With its unique scanning technology and customizable settings, practitioners can deliver precise treatments with consistent results, reduced risk of complications, and minimal patient discomfort.

5. Minimal Downtime and Faster Healing:

   • Unlike traditional CO₂ lasers, the fractional approach leaves surrounding tissue intact, accelerating healing and reducing downtime.

   • Most patients experience 5–7 days of recovery, depending on treatment depth.

6. User-Friendly Interface:

   • The system features an intuitive touchscreen interface, with pre-programmed and customizable settings to match different patient profiles and treatment goals.

7. FDA-Cleared and Clinically Proven:

   • The CO₂RE system is FDA-cleared for dermatologic and gynecologic indications, backed by clinical studies demonstrating safety and efficacy across skin types and conditions.

Common Treatment Areas:

• Face

• Neck

• Chest

• Hands

• Abdomen (for stretch marks)

• Intimate areas (for CO₂RE Intima treatments)

Ideal Candidates:

• Individuals seeking non-surgical rejuvenation with visible results

• Patients with acne scars, sun damage, and signs of aging

• Those wanting improvement in skin laxity, tone, and texture

• Patients looking for vaginal health and rejuvenation (CO₂RE Intima)

How It Works: During treatment, the CO₂RE laser creates microscopic wounds in the skin that are surrounded by healthy tissue. This fractional delivery promotes faster healing while stimulating collagen and elastin production. As the skin regenerates, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more even-toned. Depending on the treatment mode selected, patients may see improvement after one session, with additional treatments enhancing results.

The Candela CO₂RE laser is a gold-standard skin resurfacing platform that offers advanced functionality for treating a wide range of dermatologic and aesthetic concerns. With its customizable modes, dual-depth penetration, and reduced downtime, the CO₂RE system delivers remarkable results in skin rejuvenation and scar revision—helping patients achieve clearer, firmer, and more radiant skin with long-lasting benefits.
