CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

Fraxel is a brand name for a fractional laser device, while fractional CO2 laser is the broader treatment category. Both resurface the skin by targeting a fraction of the surface at a time, but they differ in wavelength, depth of penetration, and the specific device used. Your therapist will recommend the most appropriate option for your skin concern.

Yes, the neck and chest are commonly treated areas for sun damage, pigmentation, and crepey skin texture. The skin in these areas is more delicate than the face and may require adjusted settings. Results are comparable to facial treatment when carried out correctly.

For most clients, yes. A single session delivers significant improvement, particularly for texture and pigmentation. Clients with deeper scarring or more advanced concerns may benefit from a second session, but this is assessed after the skin has fully recovered from the first.

Yes, and it is one of the most effective treatments available for it. The laser removes damaged surface tissue and stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers, which gradually fills and smooths depressed acne scars over the months following treatment.

Allow a minimum of four to six weeks before any important event. The initial healing phase takes 7 to 14 days, but the skin can remain slightly pink and sensitive beyond that. Booking too close to an event does not allow enough time for the skin to fully settle.

It depends on the medication. Retinoids, certain antibiotics, and other prescription topicals need to be paused before treatment, as they increase skin sensitivity and can affect how the skin responds. Your therapist will review your full skincare and medication history at your consultation.

The structural improvements from collagen remodelling are long-lasting, but the skin continues to age naturally after treatment. Most clients find results hold well for several years, particularly with consistent sun protection. Maintenance sessions can extend and refresh results over time.

Yes, men are treated regularly at The Laser Club for concerns including acne scarring, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. There are no gender-specific limitations to the treatment. The consultation and assessment process is identical regardless of the client.
