The laser promotes the renewal of skin cells, helping to refine surface irregularities and support smoother skin.
Fractional CO₂ laser can assist in reducing the visibility of certain surgical, traumatic, or acne-related scars by encouraging natural collagen remodelling.
The controlled energy delivered by the laser helps activate the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and supporting long-term skin improvement.
Treatment parameters are adjusted based on the scar’s depth, type, and location to help achieve safe, effective outcomes.
At Aurez Aesthetics, your safety and treatment goals come first. Before recommending the procedure, our practitioners will carefully assess your skin condition, scar characteristics, and overall health.
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
• Have visible scars caused by surgery, injury, or acne
• Wish to improve skin texture or tone in affected areas
• Prefer a non-surgical option to support scar management
• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations about treatment results
Individual suitability and outcomes vary. Your practitioner will discuss expected results, possible side effects, and treatment planning during your consultation.
Your practitioner will review your medical history, examine your skin and scar type, and discuss your goals to determine an appropriate treatment plan.
A topical anaesthetic is usually applied before the procedure to ensure comfort. You’ll receive pre-treatment instructions to help prepare your skin.
The laser delivers controlled energy to the skin’s surface to target scarred tissue and encourage natural regeneration. Treatment time varies depending on the area and scar characteristics.
Temporary redness, mild swelling, or a sensation similar to sunburn may occur following treatment and typically settles within a few days. Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare guidance, including how to protect and care for your skin during the healing process.
Results and recovery experiences vary between individuals. Potential risks and contraindications — including pigment changes, temporary redness, or sensitivity — will be discussed during your consultation to ensure safe and suitable treatment planning.
The number of sessions depends on the type, depth, and size of your scar, as well as your skin’s healing response. Some people notice visible improvement after one session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Your practitioner will recommend a tailored plan during your consultation.
Most people experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity similar to a light sunburn for a few days after treatment. Recovery times vary depending on the treatment intensity and your skin’s healing process. Your practitioner will advise you on expected downtime and post-treatment care.
Initial improvements in skin texture and tone may appear within a few weeks. Collagen remodelling continues gradually over the following months, leading to progressive enhancement in scar appearance.
Common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, or a warm sensation in the treated area. These effects usually resolve within a few days. Rarely, pigment changes or prolonged sensitivity may occur. Your practitioner will discuss potential risks and how to care for your skin after treatment.
You’ll receive detailed pre-treatment instructions before your appointment. Generally, you may be advised to avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning products, and certain medications that can increase skin sensitivity. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of treatment.
A topical anaesthetic is applied before the procedure to help minimise discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as warm or prickly but tolerable. Your practitioner will monitor your comfort throughout the session.
Results are long-lasting, though ongoing collagen production and skin renewal vary by individual. Maintaining a healthy skincare routine and sun protection can help prolong your results.
As with all medical skin procedures, there are potential risks including temporary redness, swelling, pigment changes, or, rarely, infection. These risks are minimised when treatment is performed by qualified practitioners using appropriate protocols. All potential side effects and contraindications will be discussed before treatment.
The cost varies based on the size and number of scars, treatment area, and number of sessions required. A personalised quote will be provided after your consultation and skin assessment.
