Fractional CO2 Laser is one of Malaysia’s most trusted treatments for acne scars, large pores, textured skin, and signs of ageing. It uses tiny laser beams to renew damaged skin and boost natural collagen. When performed by trained aesthetic doctors, it is safe, effective, and suitable for Asian skin types, including Fitzpatrick III–V.
GLOJAS Specialist Clinic provides safe and effective CO2 Laser treatment under experienced aesthetic specialists. Using advanced laser technology and personalised care, the clinic focuses on delivering reliable results for acne scars and skin resurfacing, ensuring treatments are suitable and safe for Malaysian and Asian skin types.
Safe, FDA-Approved, and Personalized for Your Skin
Minimal Downtime with Noticeable Results
Stimulates Natural Collagen for Long-Lasting Effects
Clinically Proven for Acne Scars and Wrinkles
Fractional CO2 Laser is a skin-resurfacing procedure that uses a 10,600 nm carbon dioxide laser to treat microscopic areas of the skin. Instead of removing the entire surface, it targets small “fractions” of skin. This allows the skin to heal faster while improving texture.
The laser creates tiny columns of controlled heat and ablation. These trigger the removal of damaged skin cells and stimulate new collagen formation. Surrounding healthy skin supports rapid recovery, making the treatment effective yet manageable in downtime.
Fractional CO2 Laser is a versatile treatment that helps improve many skin concerns:
Atrophic acne scars (rolling, boxcar, ice-pick)
Fine lines and early wrinkles
Enlarged or visible pores
Dull or uneven skin tone
Rough and uneven texture
Sun damage and pigmentation
Stretch marks
Surgical or traumatic scars
Mild skin laxity and early ageing
CO2 Laser offers both cosmetic and structural benefits:
Smoother skin texture
Improved acne scar appearance
Brighter and more even skin tone
Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
Tighter, firmer skin from collagen renewal
Long-lasting results with proper aftercare
Customisable intensity for different scar depths
Suitable for most Asian skin tones with proper settings
A study found that three laser treatments, done every three months, helped improve acne scars. The roughness and depth of the scars got better at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment. (PubMed)
The laser creates tiny channels in the skin that remove old, damaged cells. This controlled resurfacing encourages fresh, healthier skin to form.
The heat produced by the laser penetrates the deeper dermis. This boosts collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more even skin over time.
Because only part of the skin is treated during each session, healing is faster and safer compared to fully ablative CO2 lasers.
Fractional CO2 Laser is suitable for:
Adults with acne scars of any type
People with enlarged pores or textured skin
Patients with mild to moderate wrinkles
Individuals with pigmentation or sun damage
Asian skin tones (Fitzpatrick III–V) with proper doctor guidance
Those with very deep ice-pick scars may need combination treatments for the best results.
Your doctor examines your skin type, scar depth, and medical history. Treatment settings are customised for safety — especially important for darker skin tones.
A topical anaesthetic is applied for 25–40 minutes. This reduces heat or tingling sensations during treatment.
The laser is applied across targeted areas, creating micro-channels.
A typical session takes 10–20 minutes depending on the treatment area.
Redness, warmth, and micro-crusting are expected for a few days.
Your doctor will guide you on cleansing, moisturising, and sun care to support healing.
Most patients recover in 3–5 days.
Common aftercare tips include:
Use gentle cleansers and soothing moisturisers
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily
Avoid sun exposure, saunas, and hot showers
Avoid exfoliating products for 1–2 weeks
Do not pick or scratch peeling skin
These steps help minimise the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
You may notice smoother skin after 7–14 days.
Collagen rebuilding continues for 3–6 months, leading to clearer scars and firmer skin.
Most people need 2–4 sessions, depending on scar severity and skin condition.
Severely tethered scars may need combination therapy.
Fractional CO2 Laser is safe when performed by trained doctors. At GLOJAS, we use international trained doctor to perform the treatment.
Most side effects are mild and temporary:
Redness
Swelling
Warmth or tingling
Dryness or flaking
Micro-crusting
Temporary sensitivity
Less common side effects include PIH or prolonged redness. Proper aftercare and sun protection significantly reduce these risks.
The price varies depending on the clinic, doctor expertise, laser platform, and combination therapy.
Typical cost per session
RM 400 – RM 1,800
Acne scar packages
RM 1,500 – RM 6,000 for tailored plans including subcision, PRP, or microneedling.
