What Is CO2 Laser Treatment?

CO2 laser treatment is an advanced form of fractional ablative laser therapy used to rejuvenate and resurface the skin. It works by delivering precisely controlled microbeams of laser energy deep into the dermis, creating a grid of microscopic treatment zones. Within each of these zones, the laser vaporises damaged skin cells and stimulates the body’s natural healing response.

As the skin heals, it generates new collagen and elastin, leading to visibly firmer, smoother, and more even-toned skin. Unlike superficial treatments, CO2 laser therapy targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, allowing for dramatic improvements in texture, scarring, fine lines, and skin laxity.

At the Institute of Medical Physics, we use medical-grade CO2 laser equipment with adjustable settings to tailor the intensity, depth, and coverage to your skin’s specific needs. This ensures maximum results with minimal risk, even for delicate areas like around the eyes or mouth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CO2 laser resurfacing treatment?

CO2 laser resurfacing—also known as fractional CO2 laser treatment—is a powerful form of laser skin resurfacing that removes damaged skin tissue, stimulates collagen production, and improves overall skin texture and tone. It works by delivering precise laser energy into the skin to encourage natural regeneration and long-term rejuvenation.

What skin conditions can CO2 lasers treat?

CO2 laser treatment can effectively address a wide range of concerns, including acne scars, surgical scars, fine lines, deep wrinkles, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, sun damage, and age spots. It also improves enlarged pores, rough skin texture, and early signs of skin laxity. In addition to treating specific conditions, CO2 laser resurfacing is commonly used in full facial rejuvenation to achieve a smoother, more youthful, and refined appearance.

Is CO2 laser treatment safe?

Yes. When performed by experienced medical professionals, CO2 laser treatment is a safe and clinically validated procedure. At the Institute of Medical Physics, we conduct a comprehensive diagnostic assessment before every treatment to ensure suitability, especially when treating delicate facial areas.

Is CO2 laser skin treatment suitable for all skin types?

We tailor the treatment based on your skin tone, texture, and sensitivity. While darker skin types may require a more conservative approach due to a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, our personalised treatment protocols are designed to deliver safe and effective results across a broad spectrum of skin types.

How much does CO2 laser treatment cost?

CO2 laser treatment starts from £400 per session. Full-face resurfacing or combination therapies may be quoted during your consultation for optimal planning.
