Resurfacing for the neck — one of the first areas to show ageing, and one of the least often treated.
CO2 fractional laser on the neck improves crepey texture, fine lines and uneven tone by stimulating collagen production as the skin heals. People often treat the face for years and leave the neck untouched, and the difference eventually shows.
Neck skin is thinner than facial skin and heals differently, so settings are more conservative and recovery can feel slower. That is expected rather than a complication, and we will explain what yours should look like.
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 the neck and explain how recovery differs here from the face, plus whether a course is likely.
A 30-minute session treating the neck.
