This healing process improves the appearance of pigmentation, lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, burns and scarring. It can also target pigmentation irregularities, uneven skin tone, and concerns such as acne vulgaris, age (sun) spots, and enlarged pores.

At PHI Clinic, both ablative lasers and nonablative laser technologies are available, allowing our practitioners to recommend the most suitable option for your skin type. Ablative Laser Resurfacing typically provides deeper rejuvenation, while Nonablative Laser Resurfacing offers milder resurfacing and quicker recovery times. Our practitioners design a bespoke treatment plan for each patient, ensuring that all laser skin resurfacing treatments are tailored precisely to your skin condition and desired results.

This advanced CO₂ Fractional Laser and laser technology platform can be used on both the face and body. Treatments are adapted to each individual’s needs, addressing various skin types and tones, including darker complexions. The technology used at PHI Clinic represents the most sophisticated laser devices and laser platforms in aesthetic medicine today. These systems treat concerns such as Acne Scars, Hyperpigmentation Treatment, and age (sun) spots, while refining uneven skin tone and skin texture.

Our practitioners on Harley Street carefully plan every CO₂ laser resurfacing course, using the clinic’s most advanced CO₂ lasers to ensure accuracy, safety, and natural results. Our Secret PRO treatment is well tolerated by patients, with discomfort minimised by topical numbing cream and a cryocooler that delivers cool air to the skin. Redness, swelling, and crusting of the skin are typical during post-treatment recovery, but downtime is usually minimal and discussed in advance as part of your personalised treatment plan. 

This form of ablative laser resurfacing supports smoother, brighter skin while also encouraging deeper collagen fibers to rebuild. It is particularly beneficial for those with acne vulgaris, early signs of ageing, or mild scarring. The Secret PRO system also supports laser skin rejuvenation, promoting smoother, more even-toned skin by combining CO₂ lasers and radiofrequency energy. The combination helps strengthen the dermal structure and improve tone through controlled collagen stimulation. 

The deeper settings of the CO₂ lasers enhance collagen regeneration, improving skin texture and elasticity over time. Lighter passes can also reduce age (sun) spots, sun damage, and pigmentation irregularities, contributing to overall skin rejuvenation. Downtime is typically only a few days, depending on the intensity of treatment. This is considerably less than traditional ablative lasers, making post-treatment recovery faster and more comfortable for patients with quicker recovery times between treatment sessions.

At our Harley Street clinic, all CO₂ laser treatments are carried out by highly trained practitioners using advanced laser platforms and laser devices. These systems are designed for precision and adaptability, allowing treatments to be adjusted according to each patient’s needs.

We offer lighter resurfacing for pigmentation and fine lines, and deeper fractional lasers for issues such as acne scarring, skin laxity, and texture irregularities. This flexibility ensures optimal results from every session of CO₂ laser resurfacing or Nonablative Laser Resurfacing.

Our expert practitioners continually update their techniques to provide the safest and most effective skin resurfacing options in London.

Benefits of CO₂ Laser Resurfacing for Skin Texture and Collagen Stimulation

Laser Skin Resurfacing offers comprehensive results for both face and body. It smooths acne scars, minimises enlarged pores, evens tone, and softens lines while supporting collagen regeneration and strengthening collagen fibers.

The treatment also helps reduce age (sun) spots, Hyperpigmentation Treatment, and sun damage, all while improving overall skin texture. Sustained collagen stimulation leads to long-term skin rejuvenation, leaving skin noticeably firmer, brighter, and more refined.

For patients seeking a non-surgical way to restore youthful radiance, PHI Clinic’s CO₂ lasers remain the gold standard in advanced Ablative Laser Resurfacing and Nonablative Laser Resurfacing, offering precision, comfort, and quicker recovery times.

Post-Treatment Recovery: What to Expect After CO₂ Laser Treatment

Following your CO₂ laser treatment, proper care is essential for a smooth healing process and lasting results. Our practitioners provide detailed aftercare as part of your treatment plan, ensuring the best possible post-treatment recovery.

Avoid direct sun exposure, apply sun protection daily, and maintain a gentle skincare routine to protect the newly resurfaced skin. Mild redness or swelling may appear, but these effects usually subside within a few days as collagen fibers rebuild beneath the surface to enhance your results.

Many patients are able to return to regular activities sooner than expected, thanks to advanced nonablative laser options that promote rapid healing and quicker recovery times.

Who Is a Good Candidate for CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing is suitable for a wide range of skin tones and conditions. It is particularly effective for patients experiencing fine lines, Hyperpigmentation Treatment, Acne Scars, age (sun) spots, or uneven skin tone.

During your consultation, our specialists on Harley Street will assess your goals, review your medical history, and create a detailed treatment plan to help you achieve your best possible outcome. Some patients may also benefit from combination treatments, such as the use of dermal fillers to restore volume after skin resurfacing procedures.
