How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works

CO2 laser surfacing is performed with a local anaesthetic cream and causes sunburn-type symptoms for the first few days, which take two to three weeks to resolve. Our patients typically find the treatment to be surprisingly comfortable. This state-of-the-art device makes thousands of microscopic holes in the skin, resulting in deep collagen formation and impressive skin tightening. CO2 laser resurfacing offers better results when compared to other laser treatments, with reduced downtime.

With CO2RE, you can expect some discomfort during the treatment. We’ll use local anaesthetic and sedation to ensure that you remain as pain-free as possible both during and after the completion of your treatment. Immediately following the procedure, you can expect a sensation similar to sunburn, which may last for several hours. In the days following treatment, you will experience peeling of dead skin from the treatment area. This is a natural exfoliation process and may last seven to 10 days.

Recovery After Laser Resurfacing

For smaller areas such as smokers’ lines or the upper lip, we apply a numbing cream prior to treatment. We will ensure that you have adequate pain relief to take home with you as part of your after-care plan, as your skin will be red and tender to the touch for about three weeks after treatment. You’ll also be given detailed aftercare instructions before your procedure.

Many of our patients see positive results straight after their treatments and begin to see the full benefits of the procedure after six to eight weeks, once the skin has had time to heal and rejuvenate. Our patients see the best results if they continue to invest in a good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle post-procedure. To learn more, set up your consultation today!
