CO2 Fractional Ablative Laser

​A CO2 fractional ablative laser is an advanced skin resurfacing technology that uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to deliver micro-beams of light to the skin. This creates tiny, controlled "microthermal treatment zones" (MTZs) while leaving the surrounding tissue intact to accelerate healing. Prices start from £80 per session.

​

How it works

• Ablative resurfacing: The laser removes the outer layers of damaged skin, which forces the skin to regenerate. 

• Fractional columns: Instead of treating the entire skin surface, it creates microscopic "columns" of treatment, leaving small areas of untouched skin between them. This allows for quicker healing than traditional ablative lasers. 

• Collagen stimulation: The heat from the laser stimulates the production of new collagen, which tightens the skin and improves its overall appearance.

Conditions treated

CO2 fractional ablative lasers are effective for a range of cosmetic and medical skin issues, including: 

• Fine lines and moderate-to-deep wrinkles

• Scars (from acne, surgery, and trauma)

• Uneven skin texture and tone

• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage, including age and sun spots

• Skin laxity (sagging skin)

• Enlarged pores
