Our most advanced resurfacing treatment — CO2 fractional laser works deep within the skin to target acne scarring, fine lines, pigmentation and uneven texture, for a smoother, firmer, more even complexion.
CO2 fractional laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve overall skin quality and target more complex concerns. It works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate your body's own collagen production as the skin repairs.
That renewal process is what improves texture, softens fine lines, and reduces the appearance of acne scarring, pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Because it works at depth, downtime is expected — and depending on your concerns, a course of treatments may be recommended.
This is a treatment we only ever carry out after a proper assessment. Every plan starts with a consultation to check suitability, talk honestly about downtime and realistic results, and decide together whether it's the right route for your skin.
Welcoming clients from Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Four Oaks, Mere Green and Little Aston.
We assess your skin, discuss your concerns and explain exactly what the treatment involves — including downtime — so you can decide with no pressure.
The laser is passed over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger your skin's repair response. Appointments run from around 30 minutes.
Downtime is expected while your skin repairs. Results build gradually as new collagen forms, and we'll agree any follow-up treatments as part of your plan.
Written by our practitioners. Your consultation covers all of this in person, and you’ll leave with it in writing.

A full consultation and skin assessment will determine whether CO₂ laser is safe and suitable for you.
Downtime is expected with CO2 fractional laser — it works by creating controlled micro-injuries, so your skin needs time to repair. How much depends on the area treated and the depth we agree, which is exactly what your consultation is for. We'd always rather you plan for it properly than be caught out.
It's designed for more complex concerns — acne scarring, fine lines, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and general texture. It can be used on the full face, the neck, under the eyes or the upper eyelids.
Possibly. A course of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and the results you're after. We'll be honest with you about that at consultation rather than after you've booked.
It depends on the area treated — full face, neck, under eye and upper eyelids are all priced differently. You'll get a clear, no-obligation price at your consultation before anything goes ahead.
No, and that's why a consultation comes first. You must be 18 or over, and we complete a full medical and treatment consultation form to assess suitability before any treatment goes ahead.
