Advanced Skin Rejuvenation with the CO2 Laser Resurfacing in London
Lutronic eCO2 at The Axis Clinic
We offer CO2 Laser Resurfacing in London at The Axis Clinic. 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.
Conditions Treated with CO2 Laser Resurfacing
CO2 laser resurfacing treats a wide range of concerns, such as:
Fine lines and deep wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth
Scars from acne, surgery, burns, or trauma
Loose skin and reduced elasticity
Sun damage, age spots, pigmentation, and other signs of photoageing
Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
Benign skin lesions such as warts, moles (nevi), and syringomas
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
Who is it suitable for?
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.
Is CO2 laser resurfacing painful?
You may feel warmth and tingling, but a strong numbing cream is applied, and in some cases local anaesthetic, to ensure your comfort.
How long is the downtime?
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.
How many sessions will I need?
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.
When will I see results?
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.
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting, but the natural ageing process continues. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain improvements.
Is it safe for all skin types?
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.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. We frequently combine CO₂ with Radiesse, hyperdilute Radiesse, LaseMD Ultra, and vascular lasers to optimise results while reducing downtime.
How should I prepare for the treatment?
Avoid tanning, sun exposure, and active skincare (such as retinoids or acids) for at least a week prior.
What aftercare is required?
Use gentle skincare and a high-factor SPF. Avoid make-up and strenuous activity for 48 hours, and do not pick at flaking skin.
Trust our experts
“When it comes to skin resurfacing, the Lutronic eCO2 remains the gold standard for precision, safety, and results. Its Controlled Chaos Technology (CCT) allows the laser energy to be distributed in a scattered pattern, preventing heat build-up and reducing the risk of complications while promoting faster healing.
The system’s deep penetration of up to 3.5 mm enables me to effectively treat deeper wrinkles, scars, and texture irregularities, areas that many other lasers can’t reach. With fractional precision, we can target microscopic columns of skin while preserving the surrounding tissue, resulting in quicker recovery and stronger collagen stimulation.”
