Our Laser Treatments in Geneva
Laser technology is used in aesthetic medicine for a range of skin concerns. Different devices use specific wavelengths and energy delivery methods to interact with targeted structures in the skin.
At Korean Skin, our treatment portfolio includes Korean laser technologies alongside complementary procedures such as HIFU, radiofrequency microneedling and LED therapy.
These treatments are not interchangeable. The most appropriate option depends on the skin concern being assessed.
Fractional CO2 Laser: Skin Resurfacing and Acne Scar Treatment
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is an ablative technique used to improve the appearance of certain skin irregularities.
The laser creates microscopic treatment zones within the skin while leaving surrounding areas untreated. The healing response can support tissue remodelling and changes in skin texture over time.
Depending on the individual assessment, fractional CO2 laser may be considered for:
- Certain types of acne scars.
- Uneven skin texture.
- Fine lines and some wrinkles.
- Selected surgical scars.
- Other skin resurfacing concerns.
Fractional CO2 laser treatment can involve visible recovery. Temporary redness, swelling, peeling and crusting may occur.
Potential complications include infection, persistent pigmentation changes and scarring. Skin tone, treatment intensity and medical history can influence these risks.
Results vary, and complete removal of scars or wrinkles cannot be guaranteed.
Learn more about Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment in Geneva, including the technology, treatment considerations and possible recovery.
Pico Laser Geneva: Pigmentation and Skin Tone Concerns
Pico laser technology delivers extremely short pulses of laser energy measured in picoseconds.
Depending on the device and wavelength, this technology can be used to target certain pigments within the skin.
Following an appropriate assessment, Pico laser may be considered for selected pigmentation concerns, including:
- Certain sun spots and age-related pigmented lesions.
- Some types of uneven pigmentation.
- Selected pigment-related skin concerns.
- Certain tattoo pigments.
Not every dark spot is suitable for laser treatment. Pigmented lesions may require medical examination before an aesthetic procedure is considered.
Melasma requires particular caution. In some cases, laser treatment may worsen pigmentation or contribute to recurrence.
Possible side effects include redness, swelling and temporary or persistent changes in skin pigmentation.
The suitability and response to treatment depend on factors such as skin phototype, pigment characteristics and treatment settings.

Laser Hair Removal in Geneva
Laser hair removal is commonly used for long-term hair reduction on selected areas of the face and body.
The technology targets pigment within the hair follicle using controlled laser energy.
At Korean Skin, the laser hair removal service is presented using a dual-wavelength system combining Alexandrite and Nd technology.
The selection of treatment settings depends on factors including skin tone, hair characteristics and the area being treated.
Possible treatment areas include the legs, underarms, arms, back, chest, bikini area and selected facial areas.
Several sessions may be necessary because hair follicles pass through different growth phases. The number of sessions and the response vary between individuals.
It is important to distinguish long-term hair reduction from the complete and permanent elimination of every hair.
Temporary redness and discomfort may occur. Burns, pigment changes and scarring are also possible complications.
For further information, see our Laser Hair Removal in Geneva page.
Laser Tattoo Removal in Geneva
Laser tattoo removal uses targeted light energy to fragment certain tattoo pigments, allowing the body to gradually process some of the pigment particles.
The response depends on the tattoo’s colour, depth, age, location and composition, as well as individual skin characteristics.
Some colours can be more difficult to treat than others, and several sessions may be necessary.
Complete tattoo clearance cannot be guaranteed. Potential risks include changes in pigmentation, scarring and unexpected changes in pigment colour.
Korean Skin offers a dedicated tattoo removal service using Pico laser technology.

Which Laser Treatment Is Suitable for Your Skin Concern?
Choosing a skin treatment begins with understanding the concern rather than selecting a device based on its name.
For example, acne scars, pigmentation and skin laxity may require different treatment strategies.
Acne Scars and Uneven Skin Texture
Acne scarring can take different forms, including shallow depressions, deeper scars and raised scars.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing and radiofrequency microneedling are among the techniques that may be considered for certain types of scarring.
However, not all scars respond equally, and some may require alternative or combined approaches.
Fine Lines and Skin Resurfacing
Fine lines and changes in skin texture may be associated with ageing, sun exposure and other factors.
Fractional CO2 laser treatment may be considered for selected resurfacing concerns, depending on skin type, treatment goals and the potential recovery period.
Pigmentation and Sun Spots
Different pigmentary conditions can appear similar. Sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and melasma do not necessarily respond to the same treatments.
An appropriate assessment is important before selecting a pigment-targeting laser.
Unwanted Facial or Body Hair
Laser hair removal may be considered when the goal is long-term reduction of unwanted hair.
Hair colour, thickness, hormonal influences and skin phototype can affect the response.
Tattoos and Pigment Removal
Laser tattoo removal requires assessment of the pigment and the surrounding skin. The process may involve multiple sessions, and some residual tattoo pigment can remain.
Beyond Laser: HIFU, RF Microneedling and LED Therapy
Not all advanced aesthetic technologies use lasers. Korean Skin also offers procedures based on ultrasound, radiofrequency and non-laser light.
Understanding these differences helps patients compare options more accurately.
HIFU Skin Tightening in Geneva
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or HIFU, uses focused ultrasound energy to create controlled thermal effects within selected tissue layers.
It may be considered for certain skin laxity concerns, depending on the individual assessment.
HIFU does not produce the same effects as surgical lifting procedures.
Potential side effects include temporary tenderness, swelling and, less commonly, tissue or nerve injury.
The use of HIFU in Switzerland is subject to specific professional requirements.
Radiofrequency Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling combines fine needles with controlled radiofrequency energy delivered into the skin.
Depending on the treatment parameters and clinical assessment, it may be considered for selected skin texture concerns, fine lines and certain acne scars.
Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, pigmentation changes and infection.
LED Light Therapy
LED therapy uses non-laser light at specific wavelengths.
It differs from ablative laser resurfacing in both its mechanism and intensity.
Certain applications may be considered as complementary skin care procedures, depending on the device and protocol.
The available evidence and expected effects vary between indications.
What to Expect During a Laser Treatment Consultation in Geneva
Patients considering an aesthetic laser procedure often have questions about discomfort, downtime, safety and the number of sessions required.
The treatment process depends on the technology selected, but an appropriate consultation generally addresses several important stages.
1. Skin Assessment and Medical History
Before a procedure, relevant factors may include:
- The skin concern and area to be treated.
- Skin phototype and pigmentation history.
- Previous aesthetic treatments.
- Relevant medical conditions and medications.
- Recent sun exposure.
- Scarring history and healing characteristics.
These considerations help determine whether a treatment is appropriate or whether further assessment is required.
2. Selecting the Appropriate Treatment
The proposed treatment should reflect the individual concern and the available clinical options.
It is important to understand the likely benefits, limitations, possible complications and available alternatives before making a decision.
3. During the Procedure
The treatment experience varies significantly.
Some laser procedures may produce sensations of warmth or tingling, while more intensive treatments can involve greater discomfort.
Depending on the procedure, appropriate eye protection, cooling or anaesthetic measures may be required.
4. Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery depends on the technology, settings and treatment area.
Some procedures involve relatively limited visible recovery, while ablative resurfacing can cause more pronounced redness, peeling or crusting.
Patients should receive treatment-specific aftercare instructions, including guidance on skin protection and when to seek medical advice.
Laser Treatment Safety, Risks and Contraindications
Although laser treatments are commonly used in aesthetic medicine, they are not risk-free.
Potential adverse effects vary according to the device, energy settings, treatment area and individual characteristics.
Possible complications may include:
- Redness, swelling or temporary irritation.
- Burns or blistering.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
- Infection.
- Scarring.
- Eye injury if appropriate protection is not used.
Certain skin conditions, active infections, suspicious lesions, medical treatments or previous healing complications may require additional precautions or make a procedure unsuitable.
People with darker skin tones may face specific pigmentation risks with some laser technologies. Selecting an appropriate device and treatment protocol is particularly important.
No treatment can guarantee a particular cosmetic result or an absence of side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Skin Treatments in Geneva
There is no single laser treatment suitable for every type of acne scar. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing may help improve the appearance of certain scars, while radiofrequency microneedling or other procedures may be considered in different situations. The choice depends on scar characteristics, skin type and clinical assessment.
The level of discomfort varies according to treatment intensity, the area treated and individual sensitivity. Appropriate anaesthetic or comfort measures may be discussed before the procedure. Redness, swelling and skin peeling can occur afterwards.
Recovery varies between procedures. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing may involve several days of visible redness, peeling or crusting, with residual redness sometimes lasting longer. Other laser procedures may involve less visible recovery. Individual aftercare advice is important.
Pico laser technology may be considered for certain pigmentary concerns. However, melasma requires careful assessment because treatment can sometimes worsen pigmentation or contribute to recurrence. Not all pigmented lesions should be treated with lasers.
Laser hair removal is generally described as a method of achieving long-term hair reduction rather than guaranteeing complete permanent removal. Results depend on several factors, including hair colour, skin tone, hormonal influences and the number of sessions.
Some laser technologies can be used on darker skin tones, but the risk of pigmentation changes may differ between devices and treatments. An individual assessment is important before deciding on a procedure.
Laser treatments use light energy, while HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy. These technologies affect tissues differently and are considered for different concerns. Neither can automatically replace the other.
The number of sessions varies according to the treatment, the concern being addressed and the individual response. Some procedures may be performed as a single session, while others require several appointments. The appropriate plan should be discussed during the consultation.
Prices vary according to the technology, treatment area and proposed treatment plan. Korean Skin publishes prices for several aesthetic procedures on its treatment pricing page. Patients should confirm the current cost and any additional fees directly with the clinic.
