Located in West Hampstead, North West London, our clinic serves clients from Swiss Cottage, Camden, Primrose Hill, Golders Green, Finchley, Hampstead, and Kilburn. If you are looking to rejuvenate your skin, smooth wrinkles, or improve skin texture, CO₂ laser resurfacing offers a powerful, non-surgical solution
What Is CO₂ Laser Treatment & How Does It Work?
CO₂ laser resurfacing uses a fractional laser system that removes damaged skin layers with precision.
The controlled laser energy creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response.
This process stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
The treatment targets multiple skin concerns, including fine lines, scars, pigmentation, and sun damage.
How CO₂ Laser Stimulates Collagen & Skin Renewal
The laser’s heat penetrates deep into the skin, boosting collagen and elastin production.
As the skin heals, it becomes firmer, plumper, and more resilient.
Over time, the treatment smooths out wrinkles, refines pores, and evens out skin tone
