eCO2™ Laser
What is It?
The Lutronic eCO2 is an advanced ablative laser system designed for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. It utilizes fractional CO2 technology to target specific skin areas, making it effective for various dermatological conditions.
Technology: The eCO2 employs Controlled Chaos Technology (CCT), which delivers micro-laser beams in a pseudo-random pattern. This minimizes heat accumulation in surrounding tissues, enhancing safety and comfort during procedures while promoting quicker recovery times.
Wavelength: Operates at a wavelength of 10,600 nm, which is optimal for skin absorption and effective treatment outcomes.
Power and Weight: The device has a maximum power output of 30 W and weighs approximately 48 kg (105.82 lb), making it suitable for clinical environments.
Customization: The eCO2 offers customizable treatment options with three different spot sizes (120, 300, and 500 μm) and two operational modes: Dynamic Mode for a more comfortable experience and Static Mode for precise energy delivery.
How does the eCO2™ help you?
The Lutronic eCO2 is versatile and can be used to treat a variety of skin issues, including:
- Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Effective in smoothing out facial wrinkles.
- Scars: Particularly beneficial for acne scars and other types of scarring.
- Pigmented Lesions: Targets dark spots on the face, neck, and hands.
- Textural Irregularities: Improves overall skin texture and tone.
- Skin Tightening: Helps in tightening loose skin

Frequently asked questions:
Is there any patient discomfort with eco2 treatments?
Since CO2 lasers are often used for more severe skin issues like deep rhytides and scarring, they can sometimes lead to more significant discomfort compared to other laser treatments. To manage this, topical anesthetics can be applied, and oral medications may be prescribed if necessary. For more intensive treatments, administering nerve blocks can thoroughly numb the treated area.
How long is the treatment and recovery period?
Depending on the specific area and size being treated, a typical treatment session can last from 10 to 30 minutes. Following a fractional resurfacing treatment such as eCOTone™, patients commonly experience mild swelling and redness that lasts around 2-5 days. More intensive treatments can cause redness that lasts for 1-2 weeks. However, in most instances, normal activities can be resumed as early as 5 days post-treatment.
How many treatments are required for best results?
Achieving optimal results depends on the patient’s age, skin type, extent of sun damage, and willingness to endure more downtime with a single treatment or less downtime across 2-3 treatments. The eCO2 fractional resurfacing parameters can be customized to meet patient goals and preferences, offering a tailored approach to their needs.
