What Is CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?
CO₂ laser uses short, controlled pulses to target the superficial layers of the skin — stimulating collagen and skin renewal without excessive heat.
What Skin Concerns Does CO₂ Laser Treat?
CO₂ laser resurfacing is highly effective for improving:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged or congested pores
• Uneven skin texture
• Sun damage and pigmentation
• Dull or lacklustre skin
• scars
• signs of ageing
Suitable for the face, neck and décolletage, body
How Does CO₂ Laser Work?
The laser creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries activate the body’s natural healing response, stimulating:
• Collagen production
• Increased cell turnover
• Skin resurfacing and renewal
Results: What Can I Expect?
• Brighter, smoother skin within 7–10 days
• Continued improvement over several weeks
• Enhanced skin firmness and texture as collagen builds
For optimal results, your practitioner may recommend a course of treatments, tailored to your skin goals.
You can expect:
•Immediate Post-Treatment (Days 0–2)
Appearance: Redness, swelling, and heat are normal, often appearing like a severe sunburn. Some tiny white dots or “micro-crusting” might be visible.
Sensations: Tightness, itching, and mild stinging.
Healing Phase (Days 3–7)
Peeling/Flaking: Old skin will start to shed. The skin may take on a bronzed or darker appearance before flaking off.
Recovery & Long-Term Care (Weeks 2–4+)
Pinkness: The skin will remain pink for several weeks; this can be covered with makeup once the skin has completely closed, usually around day 7.
Results: By week 2, skin appears significantly smoother and rejuvenated.
Full Results: Continued collagen remodeling occurs over 2–3 months.
