What Is the Cost of Laser Skin Resurfacing in Germany?
The cost of laser skin resurfacing in Germany typically ranges from $2,500 to $22,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.
Laser skin resurfacing removes the outer layers of the skin with a laser to improve acne scars, sun damage, wrinkles and some raised skin lesions. In Germany, the total depends on:
- Laser type: ablative CO2 or other lasers.
- Area treated: full face or specific areas.
- Number of sessions: one or more.
- Anaesthesia: numbing cream, injections or general anaesthetic.
Laser resurfacing is usually priced per session or per area. A quote near the range above is unusual, so ask whether it covers one session or a full course.
What Laser Resurfacing Treats
A Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust leaflet (2013) describes CO2 laser resurfacing for acne scars, sun damage, raised lesions and rhinophyma. Treatment is given under local anaesthetic cream or injections, or general anaesthetic.
The skin weeps and then scabs for 3 to 7 days, and about a week off work is usually needed.
