Baby CO₂ is a soft, low-intensity treatment. It takes around 20 minutes, has minimal downtime, and gradually builds collagen over a course of 3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Full CO₂ works more deeply for more noticeable results on lines, scarring and laxity, but needs around 5–7 days of recovery. We’ll recommend the right option at your consultation.
It’s a skin resurfacing laser that treats tiny columns of skin at a time, leaving the surrounding skin intact. This helps the skin heal faster and stimulates new collagen, improving lines, scars, texture and tone.
Most clients describe a warm, prickly sensation. Numbing cream is available on request, and we use cooling throughout to keep you comfortable.
Most clients need 1–3 sessions, depending on the area and what we’re treating. We will recommend a plan at your consultation.
Sessions are spaced [6–8 weeks] apart to give your skin time to heal and rebuild collagen.
Straight after treatment, skin feels like mild sunburn. Over the next few days it may feel tight, look slightly swollen and turn bronzed or rough. This skin naturally sheds around days 5–8. Most people are back to normal activities within 5–7 days, so plan treatment around any important events.
Results are long-lasting. Your skin will continue to age naturally, so some clients choose occasional maintenance sessions.
You’ll notice fresher, smoother skin once the shedding has finished. Results keep improving for up to 3 months as new collagen forms.
