Laser treatments to improve the texture, firmness and quality of facial skin, preceded by a skin analysis to choose the right technology for each case.
Reviewed by clinicaobesidadenvejecimiento.com · Last review:
Laser facial rejuvenation covers technologies that stimulate skin renewal and collagen production. Fractional CO2 laser works on the surface and texture, while endolifting with a 1470 nm diode laser acts beneath the skin to improve firmness in mild to moderate laxity. A 2024 systematic review found favorable endolifting results with mild, temporary side effects. In darker skin, common in Mexico, the main risk is pigmentation, so the protocol is adjusted after a skin analysis.
Before choosing the laser, the skin is analyzed to fit the technology and intensity to each case.
Before any treatment, the skin is analyzed with the VISIA system, which evaluates spots, texture, pores, wrinkles and sun damage, and compares the skin’s biological age with actual age.
With that analysis and the medical assessment, the right technology and intensity are chosen.
Fractional CO2 renews the skin surface and endolifting works underneath to improve firmness.
| Technology | How it acts | Main indication | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fractional CO2 laser | Creates micro-zones of renewal on the skin surface | Texture, fine lines, sun damage | Review and meta-analysis, 2025 |
| Endolifting (1470 nm diode) | A fiber under the skin stimulates collagen and retraction | Mild to moderate laxity of the face and neck | Systematic review, 2024 |
VISIA and medical skin assessment.
Pre-treatment care according to skin type.
Laser application with eye protection.
Sun protection and follow-up.
These are the key data from published studies and guidelines on this treatment, with their source.
Analyzed in a systematic review of endolifting: favorable results for face and neck laxity, with mild and temporary side effects.
Aesthetic Plast Surg, 2024Reviewed for facial laser complications: the most frequent was hyperpigmentation, especially in darker skin.
Lasers Med Sci, 2026Of scarring and infection with ablative lasers such as CO2, which is why parameters are adjusted to each skin.
Lasers Med Sci, 2026| Risk | When it is more likely | How it is controlled |
|---|---|---|
| Post-inflammatory pigmentation | Darker skin (phototypes IV to VI) | Skin preparation, adjusted parameters and sun protection |
| Prolonged redness | Fractional lasers | Aftercare and follow-up |
| Scarring or infection | Ablative lasers (CO2) | Laser selection and skin care |
| Eye injury | Treatments near the eyes | Strict eye protection |
Based on the 2026 complications review.
“Laser erases age in one session.”
It improves skin quality and firmness gradually; results depend on skin type and number of sessions (2024 review).
“All lasers are the same.”
Fractional CO2 and endolifting work differently and have different indications (2024 review).
“Laser cannot be used on darker skin.”
It can, with an adjusted protocol, because the main risk is pigmentation (2026 review).
“Endolifting replaces a surgical facelift.”
It works for mild to moderate laxity; significant laxity may require surgery (2024 review).
Before and after photos of patients treated at the clinic, shared with their permission.
Every face responds differently. The assessment reviews which option suits your skin.
It depends on the skin analysis: fractional CO2 for texture and sun damage, and endolifting for firmness.
Comfort measures are used during the session; the sensation varies by laser.
From a few days to a few weeks, depending on the technology and intensity.
Yes, with an adjusted protocol, because darker skin has a higher risk of pigmentation.
This is defined during the assessment according to the goal and skin type.
Strict sun protection and the doctor’s instructions for the treated skin.
