CO2 Laser Resurfacing in London

At The Axis Clinic in London, we offer doctor-led skin rejuvenation using the latest technology. The Lutronic eCO2 Plus is considered the gold standard in fractional CO2 resurfacing. It not only helps improve wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation, but it also enhances overall skin texture. As a result, patients achieve visible improvements with shorter recovery times and greater safety.

  • Fine lines and deep wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth

  • Scars from acne, surgery, burns, or trauma

How CO2 Laser Resurfacing Works

CO2 laser resurfacing works through a fractional technique. It creates tiny channels in the skin, and at the same time leaves the surrounding tissue untouched. As a result, the body starts its natural repair process, which stimulates collagen production and leads to the regeneration of smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin.

Typical healing stages:

  • Days 1–2: Warmth, mild swelling, and pinpoint bleeding may be seen.
  • Days 2–4: The skin feels tight, crusting begins, and early healing is visible.
  • Days 4–6: Mild itchiness may develop as the skin continues to heal.
  • Day 5–7: Most patients feel comfortable returning to social activities, with pinkness gradually fading over the following days.
  • Ongoing: Collagen continues to remodel for 6–9 months, delivering long-lasting improvements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CO₂ resurfacing is ideal for those wishing to:

  • Improve stubborn wrinkles and fine lines
  • Address acne scarring or surgical scarring
  • Restore firmness and elasticity to ageing skin
  • Reduce pigmentation and sun-related damage
  • Achieve significant rejuvenation in a single procedure

It is most suitable for fair to medium skin tones, though suitability is always assessed in consultation with our doctors.

You may feel warmth and tingling, but a strong numbing cream is applied, and in some cases local anaesthetic, to ensure your comfort.

Most patients recover enough to return to normal activities within 5–7 days, though some redness can persist a little longer. Our combined approach often reduces downtime compared to full-field resurfacing.

Some people achieve excellent results after a single session. For deeper scars or more advanced signs of ageing, we may recommend a course of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

You will notice smoother skin once the initial healing phase is complete. Collagen remodelling continues for several months, with final results visible at 6–9 months.

Results are long-lasting, but the natural ageing process continues. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain improvements.

It is generally best suited for lighter to medium skin tones. Patients with darker skin may require alternative or staged treatments, which we will discuss during your consultation.

Yes. We frequently combine CO₂ with Radiesse, hyperdilute Radiesse, LaseMD Ultra, and vascular lasers to optimise results while reducing downtime.

Avoid tanning, sun exposure, and active skincare (such as retinoids or acids) for at least a week prior.

Use gentle skincare and a high-factor SPF. Avoid make-up and strenuous activity for 48 hours, and do not pick at flaking skin.

Why the Lutronic eCO2 Is the Gold Standard

  • Controlled Chaos Technology (CCT): Distributes laser pulses in a scattered pattern, preventing heat build-up, lowering risk of complications, and allowing faster healing.
  • Deep Penetration (up to 3.5 mm): One of the few CO2 systems capable of treating deeper wrinkles and scars effectively.
  • Fractional Precision: Treats microscopic columns of skin while leaving surrounding areas intact, speeding recovery and stimulating powerful collagen production.
  • Proven Safety: Backed by thousands of clinical cases worldwide, demonstrating reliable and predictable outcomes.
  • Tailored Scanning Options: Adjustable patterns and depths allow us to customise treatment for delicate areas such as the eyes and lips, or more resilient areas like cheeks and scars.
