    Experience advanced CO2 laser treatment

    What is CO2 Laser Treatment?

    CO2 Laser Treatment is an advanced, non-invasive skin resurfacing technology designed to treat many skin concerns. At Dermasurge Clinic, on Harley Street in London, we offer CO2 fractional resurfacing to rejuvenate your skin, addressing common issues like wrinkles, fine lines, sun-damaged skin, age spots, and acne scars. This procedure uses fractional CO2 laser technology to target specific skin concerns, dramatically improving skin tone, texture, and overall radiance.

    CO2 lasers and CO2RE lasers use carbon dioxide to treat skin concerns, but the CO2RE laser is a more advanced, fractional laser system. This allows it to provide more precise, targeted treatment with faster healing times and less discomfort than traditional CO2 lasers.

    A consultation with our expert dermatologist, Dr Hiba Injibar , ensures that your treatment is tailored to your unique skin concerns, giving you smoother, younger-looking skin with long-lasting results.

    What Can CO2 Laser Treatment Do for You?

    With CO2 laser resurfacing, you can expect:

    • Dramatic improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
    • Reduction of acne scars and sun damage
    • Smoother skin texture and even skin tone
    • Increased collagen production for long-lasting, natural rejuvenation
    • Reduction of hyperpigmentation and age spots

    CO2 Laser Treatment is ideal for those seeking a non-surgical solution to a wide range of skin imperfections with minimal downtime.

    How Does CO2 Laser Resurfacing Work?

    Our CO2RE fractional laser targets the deeper layers of your skin using dual-depth laser technology. The laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and encouraging the production of fresh collagen. This process not only smoothens the surface but also tightens the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and sun damage.

    At Dermasurge, we use state-of-the-art CO2 fractional laser technology to ensure precise targeting treating your concerns while leaving healthy skin intact for faster healing. (CO2RE by Candela medical UK) is a great treatment for those patients who are suffering from severe sun damage, uneven skin tones and texture, deeper wrinkles as well as scars.

    It also offers amazing benefits for your skin such as tightening, smoothing and evening out your complexion for a more radiant glow.

    CO2 LASER PRE- TREATMENT CARE INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Hydrate – we recommend that for seven days pre-treatment you moisturise skin in the morning and evening, and drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to completely hydrate your skin and optimise treatment results.
    2. You may be provided with an antiviral prophylaxis 3-4 days prior to the procedure if you are undergoing a deeper peel, or have a history of Herpes Simplex to avoid an outbreak.
    3. Topical retinoid therapy should be discontinued 7 days prior to treatment.
    4. Avoid any prolonged exposure to the sun, if you must be in the sun use a sunscreen of at least SPF 30+.
    5. Remove all substances from the intended treatment area, including topical anaesthetics, hairspray, gel, makeup, lotions, deodorants, self-tanning products and ointments. Do not use flammable products in the vicinity of the laser.
    6. Do not use an alcohol-based cleanser as this removes moisture from the skin.
    7. Take 2 Paracetamol or Ibuprofen tablets, one hour before the procedure if desired to reduce post-laser burning pain.

    CO2 LASER POST- TREATMENT CARE INSTRUCTIONS

    Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience a clinical endpoint of redness (for 5-7 days), however for more aggressive treatments this may last longer. After the second day, skin will appear as an exaggerated tan.  Skin will begin to flake at 5-7 days on the face and neck; 7-10 days for the chest; and 10-14 for the hands. You will notice a yellowish crust appearing on your skin as of day 2. This has to be wiped, clean twice per day. You will have some swelling and a sunburn feeling on some parts of your face, or all your face for 3-4 days after laser treatment and this is normal if not accompanied with pain or fever.

    Post care guidelines:

    1. Stay in a cool place AWAY from direct sunlight for the duration of healing of your skin.
    2. For the first 3 days post procedure, cleanse your face twice daily with vinegar sooks (1tsp of white distilled vinegar in 1 cup of water), wipe gently with a soft gauze twice daily with this solution to remove crusts and old stuck ointment.
    3. If prescribed a topical antibiotic apply that twice daily for 4 days post laser.
    4. Apply Aquaphor or Vaseline petroleum jelly multiple times a day as needed to keep the skin hydrated during the healing process.
    5. When you bathe or shower do not scrub the treated area, treat it gently and avoid very hot water. IT IS ADVISABLE NOT TO WASH THE AREA THE SAME DAY OF TREATMENT.
    6. Use high SPF sunscreen at least 30 from day one to avoid hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin).
    7. If prescribed the antiviral tablets make sure you finish the course of treatment and take all the prescribed tablets even if you do not develop a cold sore.
    8. DO NOT at any time pick at the scabs or crusts that form as this might lead to delayed healing and possibly infection and scarring. Treat your skin very gently. You most gently wipe them with above mentioned solution (see item 2).
    9. Stay away from direct heat and avoid vigorous exercise.
    10. Men should avoid shaving until skin has completely shed.
    11. Drink plenty of water (8 glasses a day) to stay hydrated and sleep on a high pillow the first day to avoid swelling.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Am I a Good Candidate for CO2 Laser Treatment?

    If you suffer from wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, acne scars, or uneven skin texture, you could benefit from CO2 laser treatment.
    This treatment suits all skin types and can target various areas, including the face, neck, décolleté, and even the hands. A consultation with Dr. Hiba will assess your skin’s suitability for treatment, ensuring you get the best possible results.

    What to Expect from Your CO2 Laser Procedure

    During your treatment:
    – Topical anaesthesia will be applied to minimise any discomfort.
    – The CO2 laser will target problem areas, and you may feel a warm sensation as the laser works.
    – The treatment lasts around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
    – Your skin will feel sunburned for a few days, followed by redness and peeling as new, healthier skin emerges.

    How many CO2 RE treatments will I need? 

    Generally, you will see a difference after only one treatment. In the days after the treatment, your skin will gradually look softer, smoother and with less unwanted pigmentation. The fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and uneven texture will start to show improvement. However, multiple sessions are usually recommended for optimal results.

    How long will my results last? 

    CO2 laser resurfacing provides long-lasting results, with effects that can last for several years when paired with proper post-treatment care. Many patients notice significant improvements in skin texture and tone within a few weeks. Factors such as age, lifestyle, and skincare routine will influence how long the results last.

    I walked into Dermasurge Clinic hoping to improve my skin, but I left with so much more than that.
    For years, I had lost confidence in my appearance and found myself avoiding mirrors and photographs. From the moment I arrived, Dr. Hiba and her team treated me with kindness, patience, and genuine care. They listened to my concerns and created a treatment plan that felt completely tailored to me.
    I underwent HIFU for face and neck tightening with Manuella, who made the entire experience smooth and comfortable. She explained every step before starting and kept a warm, friendly conversation throughout the procedure, making the time pass so quickly and easing any anxiety I had.
    Dr. Hiba performed Botox for my full face and neck, lip augmentation, and laser rejuvenation. There simply aren't enough words to describe her professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. What stands out most is how much she genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every aspect of her work. Remarkably, the procedures were almost painless.
    Today, when I look in the mirror, I don't just see healthier, more radiant skin—I see a more confident version of myself. The physical transformation has been incredible, but what touched me most was how supported, understood, and cared for I felt throughout the entire journey.
    This facial makeover didn't just change my face; it restored a part of my confidence that I thought was gone forever.
    To Dr. Hiba, Manuella, and every member of the Dermasurge team: thank you for your professionalism, expertise, compassion, and dedication. You have made a profound difference in my life, and I will always be grateful. This has truly been one of the best investments I have ever made in myself. ❤️✨
    ★★★★★ Highly recommended.

    5 stars. Excellent service. I was seen in clinic with my young daughter. Customer service is outstanding and Dr sommerlad gave a diagnosis and treatment of my daughter condition in the appoinment, I was so pleased at the quick diagnosis and treatment. The doctor explained everything so thoroughly and was so helpful and kind. I am truly grateful. Outstanding clinic.
    I was very nervous and somewhat apprehensive, but I cannot recommend DermaSurge highly enough. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome, comfortable and completely at ease. The clinic is beautiful, professional and immaculate, and every member of staff was friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely caring.
    My consultation with Dr Hiba was thorough and informative, with plenty of time taken to explain the treatment options and answer all of my questions. I never felt rushed or pressured, and the advice I received was honest and tailored to my individual needs.
    The treatment itself was carried out by Dr Hiba with exceptional care and professionalism, and I am delighted with the results. The team clearly take great pride in their work and patient experience, and it shows in every aspect of the service they provide.
    A fantastic clinic with outstanding customer care, expertise and attention to detail. I would not hesitate to return for future treatments and happily recommend DermaSurge to anyone considering aesthetic or skin treatments.
    Thank you to the whole team for such a wonderful experience. ❤️

    Brilliant dermatologist. They were so thorough and understanding from the first consultation and Dr Hiba really took the time to understand my concerns and my specific skin condition. The IPL has definitely helped to calm my rosacea into a much more manageable state. All the staff were so lovely and helpful and the clinic is very well setup, clean and professional. Highly recommended.

    I had my first Ultraformer HIFU treatment at Dermasurge today with Manuela and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

    Manuela was incredibly professional, patient and reassuring throughout the whole session. She explained every step clearly and made sure I was comfortable, allowing breaks whenever needed and chatting with me to distract from the more intense parts of the treatment. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was.

    The treatment itself was thorough and carefully done — I felt confident I was in very experienced hands. Manuela took her time and made sure every area was treated properly, which gave me a lot of trust in the process.

    Dermasurge has a very professional and calm environment, and I’m looking forward to seeing my results over the next few weeks and continuing my treatment plan. Highly recommend Manuela if you’re considering HIFU treatment.

    Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.
    I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

    My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

    Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

    The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
