CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Ideal candidates for CO2 laser have skin damaged by exposure to the sun, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration, rough texture (acne scars). It is ideal for anyone seeking younger-looking skin with treatments that have limited downtime.

You can expect some moderate discomfort during the treatment, but the anaesthetic cream applied before the procedure typically makes any discomfort tolerable.

You will have to book a consultation with our doctor and discuss your complete medical and skin history to minimize the potential for any negative reactions.

Generally, you will see the difference you want after only one treatment. In the days after the treatment, your skin will gradually look softer, smoother and with less unwanted pigmentation. The fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and uneven texture will start to show improvement. However, the final results you want to accomplish should be discussed and assessed by our doctor in order to provide a correct treatment schedule.

The durability of CO2 laser results approaches that of surgical procedures. However, our doctor will assess this after your consultation because of a number of variables that will determine how long you can expect the results to last, including your health, age, and how you care for your skin after the treatment.

Immediately following the procedure, you can expect a sensation similar to a sunburn, lasting several hours. You can expect peeling of dead skin from the treatment area. This is a natural exfoliation process that may last 7-10 days.
