Scar Revision
CO₂ laser scar revision is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that improves the appearance of scars by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin. Whether caused by acne, surgery, or trauma, scars can impact both skin texture and confidence. The CO₂ fractional laser precisely targets scar tissue, breaking it down and encouraging the regeneration of smoother, healthier skin.
How Does the CO2 Laser Work?
The CO₂ laser works by delivering focused beams of energy into the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. As the skin regenerates, the texture of the scar becomes more refined, and its appearance is softened.
This fractional laser technology treats only a portion of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding healthy tissue intact to speed up healing and minimise downtime.

Who Is It For?
CO₂ laser scar revision is effective for:
- Acne scars – including atrophic (indented) scars, boxcar scars, and ice-pick scars.
- Surgical scars – from procedures such as C-sections or cosmetic surgery.
- Trauma scars – scars from injuries, burns, or previous wounds.
- Stretch marks – helps improve texture and pigmentation of stretch marks.
What to Expect During Treatment
The procedure begins with a detailed consultation to assess your skin concerns and develop a personalised treatment plan. A topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. The CO2 laser device is then used to target the treatment area, delivering controlled energy to the skin. You may feel a warming sensation, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated.
Aftercare Instructions
- Avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin.
- Keep the skin moisturised and avoid harsh skincare products during the recovery period.
- Follow all post-treatment care guidelines provided by your practitioner to promote healing and prevent complications.
Key Considerations for CO2 Laser Scar Treatment:
- CO₂ laser scar revision is suitable for most skin types, but results may vary depending on the depth and type of scarring. A consultation is recommended to assess your skin and determine the best treatment plan. This treatment may not be suitable for those with active acne, certain medical conditions, or a history of keloid scarring.

Can’t wait to try more treatments to feel refreshed again. Thank you Carly x
Lumi eyes & Lip Filler I can’t praise Carly enough, she put me at ease about my eyes and lips, when I first had my eyes done, I was panicking, but Carly was on hand whenever I messaged to reassure me that everything would turn out fine (which it did) And my lips have turned out amazing, I would highly recommend Carly to anybody.. what a lovely, kind, polite & professional lady.. Thank you Carly, and see you soon..x
ProSkin Facial I had a ProSkin facial with Carly and it was amazing. I am 8 weeks postpartum and my skin was feeling dry and tired. Carly is so warm and welcoming. She is knowledgeable about the products she uses and informed me of the benefits of each treatment. I can honestly say that my skin has never felt better. It’s now hydrated and feeling fresh. Thank you Carly
