CO2 laser treatment is an advanced resurfacing option used to support skin renewal, improve the appearance of texture and address selected skin concerns through a more intensive treatment approach.
At That Face Place, all treatment recommendations are based on individual assessment. From our Palm Beach clinic on the Gold Coast, our registered nurses take a careful, evidence-based approach to determine whether CO2 laser treatment may be appropriate for your skin, your concerns and your goals.
CO2 laser treatment is a type of ablative skin resurfacing treatment. It works by delivering controlled laser energy to the skin to support renewal, refine texture, and assist in the management of selected surface concerns.
This type of treatment may be used in different ways depending on the skin concern being assessed. Some approaches focus on more superficial resurfacing, while others are designed to reach deeper into the skin.
You may also hear terms like CO2 laser resurfacing or fractional CO2 laser. These describe how the treatment is delivered, with fractional approaches working in a patterned way across the skin to allow for a more tailored and controlled treatment process.
Because CO2 laser treatment is more advanced, consultation and treatment planning are essential.
During your consultation, we may assess:
The technology used for CO2 laser treatment plays an important role in how precisely the treatment can be performed and how it can be tailored to different concerns.
At That Face Place, we use technology that supports a more controlled and flexible treatment approach, allowing us to adjust how the laser is delivered depending on the individual.
CO2 laser treatment may suit people who are exploring options for texture-related skin concerns and who are comfortable with a consultation-led approach and potential downtime.
You may be suitable for assessment if you are concerned about:
Suitability depends on more than the concern itself. Your clinician will assess your skin type, history and overall skin health.
CO2 laser treatment is not suitable for everyone.
It may need to be delayed, modified, or avoided in cases such as:
A consultation is essential to determine suitability.
One of the key advantages of CO2 laser treatment is the ability to tailor how the treatment is delivered.
Different settings may be used depending on whether the goal is more superficial refinement or deeper treatment of texture concerns. Some approaches are more intensive, while others are more conservative.
Your clinician will determine whether CO2 laser treatment is suitable for you, and if so, what level of treatment is appropriate.
