Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Treatment Maitland

Fractional CO₂ laser is a medical-grade skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality.

The treatment delivers controlled laser energy into the skin, creating microscopic treatment zones that support collagen remodelling while allowing surrounding tissue to aid recovery.

Treatments are doctor-led, performed in medically accredited facilities, and individually adjusted based on skin type, concerns, and downtime tolerance.

Benefits

Fractional CO₂ laser may assist in improving the appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage and uneven skin tone
• Acne and surgical scars
• Enlarged pores and uneven texture
• Mild skin laxity and loss of firmness

Treatment aims to support smoother, clearer, and more even-looking skin. Results vary between individuals.

Recovery

Downtime depends on treatment intensity:

• Redness & swelling: typically several days to two weeks
• Peeling or flaking: common during healing
• Skin renewal: continues gradually over several months

Treatment settings can be adjusted to balance outcomes with social downtime. Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare guidance.
