CO2 Laser for Acne Scarring in Lichfield

Fractional resurfacing to improve the appearance of acne scarring — the treatment we most often recommend for textured scarring.

CO2 fractional laser creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production, which is what allows indented scarring to soften and the surrounding texture to even out. It is the most effective treatment we offer for acne scarring.

Scarring rarely resolves in one session, and how much improvement is realistic depends on the type of scarring you have — some types respond far better than others. We would rather assess yours and give you a specific, honest expectation than sell you a course against a general promise. Active breakouts usually need settling first, and our Clarify facial may come before this.

CO2 laser is one of the more involved treatments we offer. Downtime is expected — expect redness, swelling and flaking while the skin recovers — and a course may be recommended depending on your concern. We will be specific about both at your consultation rather than after you have booked.

Welcoming clients from Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Four Oaks, Mere Green and Little Aston.
