CO2 Resurfacing
A CO2 laser facial is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness by stimulating collagen production and blood circulation. Often known as carboxytherapy, this treatment uses controlled amounts of carbon dioxide gas injected into the skin, triggering a natural healing response that rejuvenates the skin from within.

About CO2 Resurfacing Treatment
During the procedure, a small amount of medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO2) is injected into targeted areas of the skin using a fine needle. The body responds by increasing blood flow and oxygenation, which supports cell regeneration and boosts collagen. This process results in firmer, smoother, and brighter skin.
Most patients require a course of sessions for optimal results, typically spaced a few weeks apart. Each session lasts 15–30 minutes and is well tolerated with minimal discomfort.

CO2 Resurfacing in Detail
Benefits of CO2 Resurfacing
- Improved skin texture: Co2 facials can help to smooth the skin’s surface and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Enhanced skin firmness: The increased collagen production triggered by Co2 facials can help to improve skin elasticity and firmness.
- Brighter skin tone: Co2 facials can help to increase blood flow and oxygenation of the skin, resulting in a brighter, more radiant complexion.
- Reduced dark circles and puffiness: Co2 facials can help to improve circulation and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.
- Improved acne scars: Co2 facials can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and improving the overall texture of the skin.
CO2 Resurfacing Procedure
- Consultation – Our consulting doctors will assess your skin concerns and determine if CO2 resurfacing is suitable for your skin type and goals.
- Preparation – The skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort during treatment.
- Treatment – A fractional CO2 laser is applied to the targeted areas, creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production and resurface damaged layers.
- Aftercare – A cooling mask or soothing cream is applied post-treatment. The skin may appear red or slightly swollen, similar to sunburn.
- Recovery – You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support healing. Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
