CO2 laser resurfacing in Chelsea is one of the best treatments for improving skin texture, skin tone and overall skin health.
Our doctor-led team at Derma Aesthetics London uses fractional CO2 laser treatment to tackle multiple skin concerns. With this advanced laser technology, we can reduce acne scars, fine lines and sun damage.
CO2 laser resurfacing treatment is a powerful tool for skin renewal and helping our patients achieve a visible improvement in how their skin looks and feels.
It works by stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, which over time, leads to smoother and more radiant skin.
At our skin clinic near Chelsea, our doctors and practitioners tailor every laser treatment to your unique skin needs and goals.
This starts with an initial consultation where we will assess skin type, medical history and skin issues. From this you will receive a bespoke treatment plan that will deliver optimal results for you.

What is CO2 laser resurfacing treatment?
The CO2 laser resurfacing treatment is considered to be the gold standard in skin rejuvenation procedures.
It is one of the most advanced treatments on the market that uses controlled laser energy to target and remove damaged layers of skin on the skin’s surface.
It also works deep within the skin to send precise laser beam energy that turns water in the skin into thermal energy (heat). This helps to stimulate new collagen production and trigger the body to renew skin cells.
During the initial healing of the skin, new collagen fibres form, which help to create firmer, stronger and healthier-looking skin.
We can tailor this laser skin rejuvenation treatment to work on most skin types and skin concerns. It is one of the most effective solutions for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, minimising enlarged pores and treating acne scars.
Fractional laser treatment – what is it, and how does it work?
At Derma Aesthetics London, we use a fractional CO2 laser resurfacing device. But what does this mean for you and your skin?
A fractional laser treatment works by treating controlled micro sections of the skin, rather than treating the face as a whole.
This means we can focus on specific areas such as the under eyes or cheeks without damaging any of the healthy skin tissue that surround it. This precise method also supports faster healing and a smoother recovery, compared to other laser treatments.
Because a fractional laser delivers laser energy into the deep layers of the skin, it encourages collagen production over several weeks, which helps to tighten and smooth the skin from within.
Our team of medical professionals near Chelsea use the latest medical grade equipment for CO2 laser resurfacing treatments. Not only does this help to provide visible results, but it also ensures there is minimal downtime.
The key benefits of CO2 laser treatment in Chelsea
Acne scars
CO2 laser skin resurfacing is an effective way to reduce acne scars and smooth out an uneven skin texture. This is because new collagen helps to repair and smooth the skin, while also providing much needed hydration.
Acne-prone skin
While it is not an effective treatment for clearing active acne, this laser treatment can help reduce enlarged pores and encourage healthier skin to form.
Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
CO2 laser removes the damaged outer layers of the skin to help trigger your body’s natural healing response. This includes collagen production to help smooth out fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin texture.
Sun damage and pigmentation
CO2 laser skin resurfacing also treats age spots, brown spots from sun exposure, and an uneven skin tone.
Skin laxity
Because CO2 laser treatment builds and strengthens collagen fibres deep in the skin, it also helps to firm and tighten the skin in the treated area.
Overall skin rejuvenation
If you want to enhance your natural beauty and achieve glowing skin; CO2 laser skin resurfacing can help you achieve a healthy and youthful appearance.
What to expect during CO2 laser resurfacing treatment
The first step in your treatment journey is to have a consultation at our clinic near Chelsea.
You will meet with our doctor who assesses your skin issues and talk to you about what you want to achieve from laser treatment. He will also show you how CO2 laser works and what results you can expect.
Many patients ask – is CO2 laser resurfacing treatment painful? Discomfort with this laser treatment is minimal, but we do apply topical numbing cream to the treatment area first to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible.
During the laser treatment, the laser energy will create micro-injuries to the skin. This starts your body’s initial healing processes, which includes stimulating collagen and elastin production.
The length of your treatment session will depend on the size of the treated area and what skin concerns we are treating.
For example, acne scars will need longer treatment sessions than tackling enlarged pores or wrinkle reduction.
Most patients require 30 minutes to 1.5 hours for each treatment. We will discuss this with you at your consultation.
After CO2 laser resurfacing treatment
Following your treatment and as your skin begins to heal, you can expect to see some redness and mild swelling for just a few days.
You can also expect some peeling to begin in the treated area from around day three. This can last for about a week.
Most patients see full skin recover in 7-10 days. Our doctor will provide you with full aftercare instructions to help you protect your skin and speed up the healing time.
CO2 laser treatment results
After your skin has fully healed, it can take a few weeks to see visible results. This is because your skin is still completing the regeneration process and new collagen is forming.
Some of our patients see great results after just one session. Whereas other patients need a course of 2-3 treatments spaced a few months apart to achieve their desired results.
We will develop a tailored treatment plan to suit your skin needs and to maximise results.
