What Does CO2 Laser Resurfacing Do?
CO2 Laser Resurfacing uses a carbon dioxide laser to address skin characteristics. It targets fine lines, sun damage, scars, and variations in skin texture and tone. The procedure removes layers of skin, stimulating collagen production for a smoother appearance and firmer skin quality. Recovery times vary, and the treatment is performed by trained clinicians. It is an intensive treatment that requires careful consideration and a consultation with a qualified practitioner.

What Results Can I Expect?
CO2 Laser Resurfacing can address fine lines, improve skin texture, manage the appearance of scars, and address skin tone and laxity. Results vary between individuals based on initial skin condition and treatment depth. Temporary redness, peeling, and swelling occur during recovery. Consult with our clinic for an assessment of your suitability and personalised advice.

Suitable Treatment Areas
CO2 Laser Resurfacing is commonly used on the face, neck, and chest to address fine lines and improve skin texture. It can also be applied to other body areas for scar management. Due to differences in skin thickness and healing capacity, specific considerations are needed for different body parts. Our clinical focus includes addressing skin changes common in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, such as those related to sun exposure and an active outdoor lifestyle.

What to Expect During a Session
Before the CO2 laser treatment, your skin is prepared, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied. The laser removes specific skin layers, and discomfort varies between individuals. Nitrous oxide is available for additional management of discomfort. During recovery, the skin will peel, and redness and swelling are expected. Our experienced team focuses on clinical standards throughout the procedure, including allowing sufficient time for the topical anaesthetic to take effect.

Session Duration
A session typically lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour. The exact time depends on the treatment area's size and the individual treatment plan. Consult with our experienced team for a precise estimate based on your clinical needs.

Downtime and Aftercare
Recovery from CO2 Laser Resurfacing can take several days to a few weeks. Expect redness, swelling, and peeling during this period. Protecting your skin from the sun and regular moisturising is essential. Our clinic provides detailed aftercare guidance to support the recovery process and manage potential complications.

Number of Sessions Needed
The number of sessions required depends on your clinical concerns and treatment depth. A degree of change is often observed after a single session, but additional sessions may be recommended as part of a structured treatment plan. Your clinician will assess your skin and recommend an approach based on individual assessment.

Timeframe for Seeing Results
Changes typically start to become visible after several weeks, with the full effect appearing over several months. With appropriate skincare and maintenance, the effects of CO2 Laser Resurfacing can be long-lasting.

Cost of Treatment
The cost of a CO2 laser resurfacing session ranges from $1200 to $5500, depending on the treatment area's size, intensity, and specific clinical requirements. We provide transparent pricing and structured treatment plans to ensure patient access to care.
