What is CO2 laser treatment?
This specialised form of laser resurfacing uses carbon dioxide to create micro-injuries in the epidermis and dermis, removing the upper damaged layers of skin.
The damage is minimal but is enough to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process.
Collagen production and the production of new skin cells are increased, firming and smoothing the skin.
Laser resurfacing also has an exfoliating effect, with the dull, damaged top layer of skin being shed a few days after treatment to reveal fresh new skin.
The depth of the treatment can be tailored to address your specific problem.

Is skin resurfacing painful?
We always use an anaesthetic prior to laser resurfacing procedures to minimise discomfort.
The type of anaesthesia used will depend on the depth of the treatment, and we use topical numbing cream, local anaesthetic, or general anaesthetic as required.
What is the recovery time after CO2 laser?
Initially, your skin will look and feel as if you have been sunburnt.
It will be extra sensitive, red, and hot to the touch for 3 to 4 days.
Your skin may also feel itchy.
The upper layer of skin will crust over and then peel off, revealing fresh, undamaged skin.
When will I see the full benefits of skin resurfacing?
Your skin will start to show improvements within a few weeks, but the benefits will continue to develop over the next few months.
Your skin will be brighter, smoother and more youthful.
Is laser skin resurfacing safe?
Laser resurfacing is perfectly safe in skilled hands.
The cosmetic surgeons at our clinic near Sheffield use the most advanced techniques that can target only a fraction of the skin, like a tiny scar, leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions will depend on the size of the treatment area.
Severe acne scarring or deep wrinkles may require more treatments than other skin conditions to achieve optimal results.
