Frequently
Asked
Questions
We want you to feel confident at every stage of your journey, so here are answers to the questions patients ask most often.
What is CO₂ laser skin resurfacing?
CO₂ laser skin resurfacing uses a concentrated beam of light to gently remove damaged outer layers of skin. This stimulates collagen production and promotes smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
What should I expect during recovery?
Recovery times vary, but most people experience redness, swelling, and peeling for 7–14 days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare advice to support your healing and comfort throughout the process.
How soon will I see results?
You may notice initial improvements once healing begins, typically within two weeks. Full results develop gradually over several months as collagen continues to rebuild.
Is CO₂ laser treatment painful?
A topical anaesthetic is applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort. You may feel warmth or a mild stinging sensation during treatment.
Is this treatment suitable for all skin types?
CO₂ laser resurfacing may not be appropriate for all skin tones or conditions. A personalised consultation will determine whether this treatment is safe and effective for your skin.
The Process
Pre-Treatment
Before your CO₂ laser treatment, we’ll review your skin type and medical history. You may be advised to avoid certain skincare products, sun exposure, or medications to ensure optimal results and safety.
Treatment
During the procedure, a precise laser removes the skin’s surface layer by layer. Treatment typically lasts between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Post-Treatment
After your CO₂ laser resurfacing, we’ll provide tailored aftercare instructions. Expect some redness and peeling as your skin heals. Follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your recovery and results.
Sides Effects & Risks
Common temporary side effects include redness, swelling, and sensitivity. In rare cases, pigmentation changes or scarring may occur. We take every precaution to minimise risks and ensure your safety.
Avoid Ineffective or Unsafe Treatments
Unregulated or poorly performed laser resurfacing can cause lasting skin damage. Choosing a medically led clinic ensures your safety and the effectiveness of your treatment.
