A doctor-led fractional CO₂ laser treatment for selected acne scars, uneven texture, enlarged pores and early fine lines — with a clear recovery plan before you begin.
Book a Free Consultation Explore Acne Scar TreatmentCO₂ Laser Resurfacing is a treatment that uses fractional laser energy to create controlled microscopic treatment zones in the skin. This resurfacing approach may be considered for concerns involving acne scar texture, rough skin surface, enlarged pores and early fine lines.
Unlike gentle brightening treatments, CO₂ resurfacing has a more noticeable recovery period. It is therefore important to understand treatment suitability, expected downtime and aftercare before deciding.
CO₂ resurfacing may be considered for selected acne scars where texture and skin surface irregularity are a primary concern.
It may support a gradual improvement in the appearance of rough skin texture and uneven-looking skin surface.
For selected cases, CO₂ laser may be included in a treatment plan for visible pores and early fine lines after doctor assessment.
You may wish to discuss CO₂ Laser Resurfacing if you are concerned about:
If you have active inflammatory acne, open wounds, a current skin infection, highly reactive skin or concerns that are mainly pigmentation-related, another treatment direction may be more appropriate.
Your doctor will assess your skin condition and explain whether CO₂ resurfacing, Pico Laser, a scar-combination plan or another option should be considered.
Your doctor evaluates your concern, scar type, texture, skin sensitivity and whether CO₂ resurfacing is suitable for your current skin condition.
The treatment area, intensity, expected recovery and aftercare requirements are explained before treatment.
Treatment generally takes around 45–60 minutes, including preparation and the procedure. Comfort measures may be used where clinically appropriate.
You receive specific aftercare guidance to support healing and protect the treated area during recovery.
CO₂ resurfacing typically involves more downtime than Pico brightening or gentle rejuvenation treatments. Recovery differs based on treatment intensity, area treated and individual skin response.
Different treatments have different roles. The appropriate choice depends on whether your main concern is pigmentation, texture, pores, active acne or depressed scars.

CO₂ Laser pricing depends on the treatment area, scar severity, treatment intensity and personalised plan. Trial pricing is not typically applicable because resurfacing depth and suitability need to be assessed individually.
Your doctor will explain the recommended treatment plan, expected number of sessions and applicable cost during consultation.
Ask About CO₂ Laser PricingCO₂ Laser may be considered for selected acne scars and texture concerns. The right approach depends on scar type, depth, skin condition and individual assessment.
Downtime varies according to treatment intensity and skin response. Redness, dryness, flaking or light crusting may occur, and many patients plan for around 5–7 days of visible recovery.
If active acne is significant, your doctor may first recommend an acne-management approach before discussing scar-focused resurfacing treatment.
The number of sessions depends on your concern, scar severity, treatment response and desired outcome. Your doctor will advise after consultation.
Complete scar removal cannot be guaranteed. The aim is progressive improvement in the appearance of scar texture, pores and overall skin surface.
