What is CO2 Laser Treatment?
CO2 Laser Resurfacing is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that uses cutting-edge carbon dioxide laser technology to improve the appearance of your skin. It removes damaged layers of the skin, promoting the growth of fresh, youthful skin underneath.
Unlike other resurfacing treatments, CO2 Laser targets deeper skin layers, making it highly effective for tackling fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, and skin texture. It is suitable for various skin types and ages, offering a comprehensive solution to common skin concerns, all with minimal downtime.

How Does CO2 Laser Resurfacing Works?
CO2 Laser Resurfacing works by targeting specific layers of the skin with high precision. The fractional CO2 laser removes damaged skin layer by layer, effectively treating issues like fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation.
As the laser works, it stimulates the body’s natural healing response, prompting the production of fresh skin and collagen.
This process not only improves the appearance of the skin’s surface but also enhances its texture and elasticity over time, giving you a rejuvenated and youthful complexion.

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Results Timeline
Immediate Post-Treatment (Day 1)
After your CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment, your skin may feel tight, hot, and sunburned. Redness, swelling, and mild oozing or pinpoint bleeding are common. It’s important to begin strict aftercare, including using cool compresses, gentle cleansing, and applying healing ointments as recommended.
Swelling Peaks (Day 2)
Swelling may increase, especially around the eyes, and redness persists. Your skin will remain sensitive, so it’s important to avoid sun exposure completely during this phase.
Crusting Begins (Day 3)
Your skin may begin to bronze, forming a dry crust or scab-like layer. It’s normal to experience some itching, but you should avoid picking or scratching to prevent further irritation or scarring.
Peeling Starts (Day 4)
As the old skin starts to peel or flake, fresh, pink skin will be revealed underneath. Keeping the skin well-moisturized will help support the healing process during this stage.
Continued Shedding (Day 5)
Most of the peeling will occur during this phase, and your skin may appear patchy. Redness may still be present, but this is a normal part of the healing process.
Healing Progresses (Day 6)
Peeling will slow down, and you will start to notice smoother skin texture. Fresh, pink skin will become more visible, showing signs of healing.
Nearly Healed (Day 7)
By this stage, most of the surface healing is complete. Your skin may still be slightly pink and sensitive, but you can typically wear light makeup to cover any remaining redness.

FAQs About CO2 Laser Resurfacing
What Results Can I Expect from CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
After CO2 Laser Resurfacing at Hampstead Aesthetics, you’ll see immediate improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness, with visible reduction in wrinkles, pores, and acne scars. Full results will develop over 6 months as collagen is produced, leading to smoother, youthful skin.
Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing Painful?
The procedure is generally well-tolerated due to topical anesthetics. After treatment, you may feel a sunburn-like sensation, with mild swelling and redness lasting 3-4 days. Itching and crusting may occur for up to 10 days, but this is normal and temporary.
How Many Treatments Will I Need for CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
One session usually gives excellent results. However, for more severe concerns like deep wrinkles or scars, 2-3 sessions may be required. Your treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
How Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing Different from Other Laser Treatments?
CO2 Laser Resurfacing delivers better results in just one session compared to other treatments, which may require multiple sessions. It penetrates deeper, providing smoother, more even skin with less discomfort, faster recovery, and a lower cost.
