What is CO₂ Laser Scar Reduction?
CO₂ laser scar reduction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of scars caused by acne, surgery, injury, or trauma. Using fractional CO₂ laser technology, controlled micro-injuries are created in the scar tissue, stimulating collagen production and natural skin regeneration. Over time, this reduces the appearance of raised, depressed, or discoloured scars, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.
This treatment is suitable for scars on the face, neck, body, and hands, and can be combined with other rejuvenation therapies to enhance skin texture and firmness.
How CO₂ Laser Scar Reduction Works
Consultation – Our clinicians assess your scar type, skin health, and treatment goals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Preparation – Skin is cleansed, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort.
Treatment – Fractional CO₂ laser is applied directly to scarred areas. The laser stimulates collagen, breaks down thickened tissue, and encourages healthy skin regrowth.
Aftercare – Cooling gels, soothing creams, and sun protection are applied. Mild redness, swelling, or peeling occur.
Recovery – Most patients return to normal activities within 1–3 days, with continued improvement in scar appearance over several weeks.
