Direct Answer
CO2RE® is a fractional CO2 laser system developed by Candela that uses a radiofrequency-excited metal-alloy laser source and digital scanning technology to precisely control energy intensity, fractional density, pattern shape, and ablation depth on a single platform. The system offers four fractional ablative modes (Light, Mid, Deep, Fusion) plus a traditional resurfacing mode, with ablation depths ranging from 20 microns (stratum corneum brightening) to 500–700 microns (deep scar and wrinkle improvement), and a minimum pulse width of just 2 microseconds that helps reduce thermal damage to surrounding tissue and shorten recovery. Its Fusion mode treats both the epidermis and dermis simultaneously, stimulating new collagen production and improving skin texture in a single session. At ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham/Toronto, Dr. Dan Xu (MD, CCFP) can combine an understanding of Asian facial structure with your individual skin condition to design a personalized CO2RE treatment plan.

CO2 fractional laser is a very popular treatment in the field of medical aesthetics, and Candela’s CO2RE fractional laser technology is undoubtedly among the leaders in the industry. Let’s take a look at what makes the Candela CO2 fractional laser unique~

What is the CO2RE System?
The CO2RE system is the first integrated CO2 laser device to receive over 100 indication clearances across 10 medical fields, including dermatology, plastic surgery, and gynecology.
Imagine a device designed specifically for a variety of procedures involving excision, incision, ablation, coagulation, and soft tissue reshaping. CO2RE can precisely target and effectively treat the skin.
Advantages of CO2RE CO2 Fractional Laser Technology
CO2RE innovation: variable treatment modes. The CO2RE system offers six different treatment modes, including four fractional ablative treatment modes, five pattern shapes, one traditional resurfacing mode, and a small skin excision mode that includes both defined shapes and a freehand approach.
The CO2RE system can simultaneously and precisely control intensity, pattern, and ablation depth on a single platform, treating both superficial and deep skin layers with precision. You’ll also experience the versatility of three modules—Aesthetic, Surgical, and Intima.
It can achieve:
- Treating multiple skin layers in a single session
- Performing both full and partial resurfacing
- Enhanced coagulation
- Stimulating new collagen production
Features of CO2RE CO2 Fractional Laser Technology
- This is a radiofrequency-excited metal-alloy CO2 laser with stable and reliable performance.
- It uses digital scanning technology that allows adjustment of the size, density, spacing, and shape of the fractional grid, while ensuring uniform spot energy distribution.
- Its minimum pulse width of 2 microseconds helps reduce damage to surrounding tissue, increase patient comfort, shorten recovery time, and lower the risk of adverse effects.
- The device features a built-in graphic scanner that lets users easily switch between six operating modes without changing tools, and the handpiece is lightweight and simple to use.
- Its Light mode is specifically designed for treating thin-skinned areas such as around the eyes, neck, chest, and hands.
- The Fusion mode can treat both the epidermis and dermis simultaneously, shortening treatment time and improving patient comfort.
