Our qualified specialists use the latest CO2 Fractional laser technology, to safely remove scars, fine lines and wrinkles, sun or age spots, skin cancer and other skin imperfections, without the need for anaesthetic.
Small, fast points of heat are directed at the skin, to minimise discomfort. These heat the skin, destroying the old skin cells which are replaced by new ones.
The treatment can be used to remove:
Generally, one or two sessions are required. Gaps of 4 to 6 weeks between sessions are recommended, to allow time in between for the skin to heal.
This depends on the area being treated, but typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, or longer for larger areas.
Patients report mild to moderate discomfort, which is tolerable. Sometimes a topical anaesthetic may be used.
Yes, only our qualified specialist will carry out this treatment and the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.
Blistering, flaky, red and sore skin may occur following the treatment, which is perfectly normal.
It can take 5 to 10 days for peeling and redness of the skin to calm down following treatment. Care of the area treated will need to be taken as the skin will be sensitive, for example, sunbathing and swimming should be avoided, and you skin may remain sensitive to the sun for some time after the treatment so should be protected. Otherwise, you can go on about your normal life.
Once all recommended sessions have been carried out, the affects are permanent.
