Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
Advanced Skin Rejuvenation & Renewal
Fractional CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing is an ablative skin treatment that creates controlled microscopic treatment zones. It is intended to support improvement in selected texture, scarring and photoageing concerns following a full suitability assessment.
Potential treatment concerns include fine lines, acne scarring, selected pigmentation concerns, pore visibility and uneven texture. Response varies, and complete correction or a specific degree of improvement cannot be guaranteed.
The treatment creates controlled micro-columns in the skin. Healing and remodelling occur over time, but timescales and visible outcomes vary between clients.
Every treatment follows consultation, medical and skin-history review, patch testing where required, informed consent, individual settings, eye protection and written aftercare.
Treatment Benefits
Potential benefits may include improvement in selected fine lines, acne scarring, pore visibility, uneven texture and some pigmentation concerns. Suitability and likely response depend on skin type, concern, treatment depth and healing response. Results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Treatment Areas
Fractional CO2 Laser may be used on areas including:
• Face
• Neck
• Décolletage
• Around the eyes
• Acne scar areas
• Stretch mark areas
What To Expect
A full consultation, medical and skin-history review, informed consent and patch testing where required are completed before treatment. Pre-treatment preparation may be advised for selected clients.
During treatment, the laser creates controlled microscopic treatment zones at settings selected for the agreed concern and treatment area.
Expected effects can include marked redness, heat, swelling, tenderness, oozing, crusting, dryness, peeling and temporary darkening. Recovery may be more noticeable than with non-ablative treatments.
Downtime varies depending on treatment intensity and individual skin response.
A course may be discussed depending on the concern and individual response. More treatment does not guarantee a particular result.
Downtime & Aftercare
Follow the written cleansing, moisturising and wound-care instructions exactly. Use suitable broad-spectrum SPF and avoid direct sun, heat, strenuous exercise, swimming, active skincare and picking until advised. Possible complications include prolonged redness, infection, cold-sore reactivation, acne or milia flare, delayed healing, burns, pigment change, visible demarcation and scarring. Seek prompt advice for worsening pain, spreading redness, pus, fever, extensive blistering, unexpected colour change or eye symptoms.

Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing – FAQs
How does Fractional CO₂ Laser work? The laser creates controlled microscopic treatment zones. Healing and remodelling occur over time, but visible response varies.
What skin concerns can Fractional CO2 treat?
This treatment can improve:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Acne scarring
-
Sun damage
-
Pigmentation
-
Enlarged pores
-
Uneven skin texture
-
Loose or ageing skin
Is Fractional CO₂ Laser painful? Discomfort varies and may include marked heat, stinging or prickling. Any topical anaesthetic must be suitable, authorised and used according to clinic protocol.
How long is recovery? Visible healing commonly takes several days or longer depending on treatment depth, area and individual response. Redness can persist beyond the initial peeling stage.
How many sessions will I need? The number depends on the concern, treatment depth, healing and response. Improvement after one session or a particular course length cannot be guaranteed.
When will I see results? Early changes may become visible after surface healing, while remodelling may continue over later months. Results and timescales vary.
Is Fractional CO₂ suitable for every skin type? No. Skin type, pigmentation risk, medical history, medicines and healing factors require individual assessment and may make treatment unsuitable.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid:
-
Sun exposure
-
Heat treatments and saunas
-
Swimming
-
Active skincare ingredients
-
Picking or exfoliating the skin
Follow all written aftercare carefully to support healing and reduce avoidable risk. Contact the clinic promptly about severe, worsening or unexpected symptoms.
Can Fractional CO₂ be combined with other treatments? Possibly, but only after individual assessment of compatibility, timing, infection risk and recovery. Combination treatment is not automatically suitable.
How long do results last? No duration or outcome is guaranteed. Skin continues to change with ageing, sun exposure, health, lifestyle and skincare.
