C02 Laser Treatments
CO2 laser treatment is an advanced skin resurfacing procedure that uses precise laser technology to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, this treatment stimulates collagen production, addresses a wide range of skin concerns, and promotes long-term skin rejuvenation.
For a more advanced, personalised approach, Carly also offers an Inside-Out Skin Assessment to optimise and enhance your results.
Fractional ablative laser treatment to improve wrinkles, scars, texture and pigmentation by stimulating collagen and resurfacing the skin. Gold-standard for long-term skin rejuvenation.
Laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the scar tissue, breaking down damaged collagen and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This process smooths the skin’s texture, reduces scar depth, and blends the scar more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.
Targets crepey eyelid skin, fine lines and hooding to rejuvenate and tighten the delicate eye area.
Precision removal of benign skin lesions such as skin tags, milia and benign moles, using advanced CO₂ technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is one session of CO2 laser enough?
The number of CO2 laser sessions needed depends on the individual’s skin concerns, severity of the condition, and treatment goals. Some patients achieve significant improvements in skin texture, fine lines, and pigmentation after a single session, while others may require multiple treatments for deeper wrinkles, scarring, or more advanced skin ageing. During your consultation, I will assess your skin and provide a personalised treatment plan based on your needs.
Is CO2 laser very painful?
CO2 laser treatment involves controlled thermal energy to resurface the skin, so some discomfort is expected. However, I use a strong topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. You may feel a warm sensation or mild stinging during the procedure, but most patients find it tolerable. After the treatment, there may be some heat and sensitivity similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. You will be given unlimited aftercare and support to ensure you heal well and get the best out of your treatment.
How long do CO2 laser results last?
CO2 laser treatment provides long-lasting results by stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin quality. While results can be seen within a few weeks, they continue to improve for several months as collagen remodels. With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last for several years. However, natural ageing and environmental factors will continue to affect the skin over time, so maintenance treatments may be recommended based on individual needs. Maintenance treatments will be discussed at your consultation.
How long does it take to heal after a CO2 laser?
Healing time varies depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment. Most patients experience redness, swelling, and peeling for about 7 to 10 days. Deeper treatments may require up to 2 weeks for full recovery. During this period, it’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions, including keeping the skin hydrated, avoiding sun exposure, and using recommended skincare products to support the healing process. I will provide detailed aftercare guidance to ensure optimal recovery and results.
