CO2 Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing

The treatment can be used on the face, neck, chest and hands, arms and legs.  It is suitable for use on the delicate skin around the eyes and mouth.

At your initial consultation we will examine your skin and medical history to ensure you are a suitable candidate for treatment.   At your treatment, the laser settings will have been adjusted to the appropriate level for your particular requirements and we will apply the laser energy to your skin using a hand held device to target the treatment areas.

Any downtime needed following the procedure will depend on the depth of the treatment you have chosen.   You will be counselled on this at your initial consultation.   If you choose a light laser peel there will be no downtime needed.   By contrast, if you choose a deep ablation you can expect your skin to appear red, like mild sunburn.  You can also expect some swelling to occur.  This should subside within a few days, but can take up to 10 days to clear completely.

We will provide you with soothing products to assist in the healing process.  You will need to protect yourself from sunlight during this time.

Treatments generally take approximately 20 minutes, but this will depend on the size of the area to be treated.   We will advise you what to expect at your initial consultation.

An advantage of the latest SmartXide Touch laser technology used at our Hampshire aesthetics clinics is that it offers faster and more effective results than some older laser systems.

Laser skin resurfacing can be somewhat uncomfortable but patients do not report that it is painful.  The sensation will depend on personal circumstances and the depth of peel or ablation that you choose.  We will counsel you on what to expect at your initial consultation.

After treatment your skin may feel slightly sore and swollen, but this can be easily relieved with pain killers.  Redness and any swelling should subside within a few days, but can take up to 10 days to clear completely.

You should see a noticeable improvement in your skin after just one treatment, once the initial redness subsides.  This can take up to 10 days.   Full results will be visible within 3-6 months as the skin's collagen production increases.

You will only require one laser skin resurfacing treatment to see significant results but a follow up treatment may sometimes be required, depending on your particular skin concerns.

Side effects will depend on the depth of treatment you choose.
