CO2 Resurfacing Laser for Acne Scarring

Advanced laser technology reduces the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen and resurfacing the skin, helping to create a more even and refined complexion.
About Acne Scarring
CO2 Resurfacing Laser is an effective treatment for acne scarring. By removing damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen production, it helps to smooth out acne scars and improve overall skin texture.
How It Works
The CO2 Resurfacing Laser targets the scarred areas by vaporising the outer layers of skin. This process helps to flatten and smooth out scars while encouraging the production of new collagen, which improves skin texture and appearance.
Benefits
- Reduces Scar Appearance: Smooths out raised and pitted acne scars.
- Improves Skin Texture: Enhances overall skin texture and tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does eCO2 work for acne scarring?
Laser resurfacing with fractionated CO2 laser introduces micro-ablative columns that penetrate the skin surface, which promotes collagen regeneration. This lifts acne scars and improves skin tone, texture and colour. The micro-wounds produced by the laser energy are separated by healthy tissue. This allows for less down time than traditional CO2 lasers.
The eCO2 parameters can be adjusted to deliver treatments ranging from superficial to ultra-deep ablation. It is recommended that treatments be of moderate to deep ablation in order to effectively acne scarring.
What should I expect after laser resurfacing?
The recovery post eCO2 laser varies depending on the depth of ablation and energy settings used in the treatment. Treatments for acne scarring results in downtime of one to two weeks.
Immediately following treatment, you will experience some swelling and redness. If your doctor uses advanced modes during the procedure, the area treated will appear red for a longer period of time. In most cases, this will resolve in one to three weeks. During that time, with the exception of the first week post-treatment, you may apply makeup to tone down the redness.
Normal activities may be resumed, in most cases, within 5-7 days.
Your doctor will discuss your recommended post-procedure recovery and skin care with you at your treatment.
