CO₂ fractional laser is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a carbon dioxide laser to create microscopic channels in the skin. These tiny "fractions" of treated skin trigger your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen production and replacing damaged skin cells with fresh, healthy tissue. It’s like hitting the “reset” button on your skin—targeting fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin tone and texture.

Results appear in two phases: Initial Glow: Most people notice a fresher, smoother look within 7–10 days, once the peeling phase is complete. Long-Term Benefits: Collagen remodeling happens more slowly, so skin keeps improving for up to 3–6 months after your treatment.

CO₂ laser is ideal for: Women and men over 30–40+ with visible signs of aging Those with acne scarring or sun damage Clients seeking non-surgical skin tightening or resurfacing People with uneven skin tone, texture, or large pores It’s especially powerful for mature skin looking for a real transformation—not just a surface-level glow.

You’ll feel a warm, prickling sensation during the treatment, but numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimise discomfort. Afterwards, your skin may feel sunburnt for a few hours to a few days. Most clients describe it as manageable, especially when you know the results are so worth it.

CO₂ fractional laser can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands to address: Fine lines and wrinkles Pigmentation, sun damage, and age spots Acne scars and other textural irregularities Enlarged pores Loose or crepey skin Stretch marks (in some cases)

Aftercare is key to great results and a comfortable recovery: Keep skin clean with gentle products for 7–10 days Avoid sun exposure—SPF is a must! Apply healing creams as directed No makeup for at least 7 days or until peeling stops Stay hydrated and avoid anything that could irritate your skin (saunas, hot showers, retinols, etc.) We’ll give you a detailed aftercare plan tailored to your treatment intensity.

Yes, but they’re typically short-lived and expected. These may include: Redness and swelling (2–7 days) Skin peeling or flaking (around day 3–5) Mild itching or tightness Temporary darkening of pigmentation before it fades More rarely, side effects may include infection, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (especially in darker skin types), or delayed healing.

Here’s what happens post-treatment: Day 1–3: Redness and swelling peak—skin feels hot and tight. Day 3–5: Skin begins to peel or flake—don't pick! Day 5–7: Fresh skin starts to emerge—glowing, smoother, tighter. Weeks 2–6: Collagen rebuilds—skin gradually becomes firmer and more even. Months 2–6: Full results unfold with renewed skin structure and tone. It’s a journey worth taking if you want more than just a temporary glow.

You may not be suitable if you: Are pregnant or breastfeeding Have active acne or open wounds Have a history of keloid scarring Have used Accutane in the past 6–12 months Have very dark skin (Fitzpatrick V–VI) without careful pre-treatment due to risk of pigmentation changes Are prone to cold sores (you’ll need antivirals beforehand) Have certain autoimmune or connective tissue disorders We’ll always carry out a comprehensive consultation to make sure this treatment is safe and effective for you.

Investing in CO₂ fractional laser treatment is an investment in your skin’s future. Here’s our pricing per session: Face: $700, Face & Neck: $1200, Neck & Décolletage: $1000, Hands: $500. Each treatment reflects the care, expertise, and results you can expect from us.

For the best results, we usually recommend 3 CO₂ fractional laser sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. This schedule gives your skin time to heal and build new collagen. If you have deeper scarring or advanced ageing, you might benefit from an extra session or yearly maintenance. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalised plan tailored to your skin’s needs and goals.
