C02 Fractional Laser
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
CO₂ fractional laser is an investment in your skin’s future, and we’ve tailored our pricing to reflect the level of care, expertise, and results you’ll receive:
Treatment Area Price (per session)
Face $700
Face & Neck $1200
Neck & Décolletage $1000
Hands $500
For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart. This allows your skin to properly heal and build new collagen between sessions.
Some clients with deeper scarring or advanced ageing may benefit from an extra session or annual maintenance after the initial course. During your consultation, we’ll customise a treatment plan based on your skin’s needs and your goals.
