Our most comprehensive resurfacing treatment — the full face in one 45-minute session, for texture, fine lines, scarring and uneven tone.
CO2 fractional laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production, improving texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines, acne scarring, pigmentation and uneven tone. Treating the full face means the result is even across the whole face rather than a treated patch against untreated skin.
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.
We assess your skin and are specific about downtime, likely sessions and what the treatment can achieve for your concern.
A 45-minute session treating the full face.
Redness, swelling and flaking while the skin heals. Results build over the following weeks as collagen rebuilds.
