CO2 Laser Resurfacing in London

CO2 Laser Resurfacing is an advanced and effective treatment that offers remarkable skin rejuvenation. At The Harley Street Dermatology Clinic in London, we provide tailored CO2 laser treatments to help you achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

What is a CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 Laser Resurfacing is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses carbon dioxide laser technology to remove damaged outer skin layers, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin. The laser works by creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and an overall refreshed appearance.

The treatment is versatile and can be adjusted to target different skin concerns, making it suitable for various skin types and ages. Whether you want to reduce acne scars or treat rhinophyma or pigmentation, CO2 Laser Resurfacing offers effective solutions with minimal downtime.

Results from CO2 laser resurfacing can last for several years, depending on age, skin type, and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and skincare routine. Regular sun protection and skincare maintenance are essential for long-lasting effects.

Benefits of the CO2 Laser Resurfacing

CO2 Laser Resurfacing provides a range of benefits, including smoother skin texture by effectively reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, creating a more refined skin surface. It also promotes an even skin tone by removing damaged skin cells, which improves pigmentation and reduces sunspots. The laser stimulates natural collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness for a more youthful appearance. Additionally, advanced laser technology ensures minimal downtime and quicker healing with minimal discomfort. With proper care, the results of CO2 laser resurfacing can be long-lasting, maintaining a youthful and vibrant look for years.

Conditions that can be treated with the CO2 Laser Resurfacing

CO2 Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars

CO2 Laser Resurfacing is highly effective for treating acne scars, including boxcars, ice pick, and rolling scars. The laser’s precise targeting removes scarred tissue layers, promoting collagen growth and smoother skin. This treatment is suitable for those who have struggled with persistent acne scars and want a permanent solution.

Rhinophyma Treatment with CO2 Laser

Rhinophyma is a skin condition characterised by thickened, bumpy skin on the nose, often caused by severe rosacea. CO2 Laser Resurfacing effectively reshapes and smooths the nose by removing excess tissue and improving skin texture. It is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures, offering natural-looking results.

CO2 Laser Treatment for Pigmentation

CO2 Laser Resurfacing helps reduce hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and age spots by targeting the melanin in the skin. It evens out skin tone and restores a youthful glow. This treatment is particularly effective for those struggling with pigmentation issues due to sun exposure or ageing.

CO2 Laser for Psoriasis

CO2 Laser Resurfacing can reduce the thickness of psoriatic plaques and improve skin texture. By targeting the affected areas, it minimises the appearance of scaly patches, offering relief from itching and discomfort. It is best suited for localised psoriasis rather than widespread conditions.
