What Is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

CO2 laser skin resurfacing uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove damaged outer layers of skin, while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers beneath. This dual action smooths texture, softens fine lines and wrinkles, and can significantly improve the appearance of scarring, pigmentation and sun damage.

Our CO2 laser treatment in Southampton, Hampshire is suited to clients wanting a more dramatic, longer-lasting result than surface-level treatments can provide, and who understand and can accommodate the recovery period involved.

What to Expect From CO2 Laser Recovery

Unlike many of our other skin treatments, CO2 laser skin resurfacing is an invasive procedure with a genuine recovery period. We believe it's important you know exactly what to expect before you book, so you can plan your treatment around your schedule.

  • Skin will feel raw and sensitive, similar to a sunburn, in the days following treatment
  • Some itching, tightness and blistering can occur as the skin heals
  • Downtime typically lasts between 5 and 14 days, depending on the depth of treatment
  • Redness and pinkness can take several weeks to fully settle
  • Sun protection is essential during recovery to protect the new skin underneath

Most clients need between one and three sessions, depending on the concern being treated, with time to heal fully between each one. This is a treatment built for lasting results rather than convenience, and we'll talk you through exactly what to expect at your consultation.

When Will I See Results From CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

Visible improvement often begins once the skin has healed, but full results continue to develop over the following months as new collagen forms, with results generally settling around 3 to 6 months after treatment.

CO2 Laser FAQ's

Does CO2 laser skin resurfacing hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to keep you comfortable. Most clients describe a warm or prickly sensation during treatment, with skin feeling similar to sunburn afterwards.

How many CO2 laser sessions will I need?

Most clients need between one and three sessions, depending on the concern being treated. Milder concerns often respond to a single treatment, while deeper scarring or more significant sun damage may benefit from a course of two or three sessions with time to heal between each.

How long is the recovery time after CO2 laser resurfacing?

You will experience some downtime, which varies depending on the settings used for your skin type. Many patients choose to book time off work during recovery. Weeping and soreness are common for 1 to 3 days before the skin begins to heal. Strict aftercare must be followed for 12 weeks to help reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. LED light therapy is available as an add-on treatment, and your practitioner will advise whether it's right for you.

When will I see results from CO2 laser resurfacing?

Results continue to develop as the skin heals and new collagen forms, generally settling around 3 to 6 months after treatment. Results are long-lasting, often visible for several years with good sun protection and aftercare.
