Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing (eCO2)

A fractional CO2 laser (eCO2) that resurfaces the skin in microscopic columns to improve texture, fine lines, scarring and tone, prompting fresh collagen as the skin renews. Treatment can be focused on the whole face or specific zones such as the eyes, mouth, forehead, neck and décolleté, and is always performed by a surgeon. A short series gives the strongest result for texture and scarring.

The eCO2 fractional laser delivers energy into the skin in a grid of microscopic treatment columns, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This fractional approach triggers a strong collagen-remodelling response that smooths texture, softens fine lines, improves the appearance of scarring and evens out tone, while the untreated bridges of skin between columns support faster recovery than older fully ablative resurfacing. At Beauty Group the laser is operated by a surgeon, and treatment can be tailored to the whole face or to specific zones — the cheeks, the delicate area around the eyes or mouth, the forehead, the neck, the décolleté or the abdomen — each priced individually. Before treatment the skin is cleansed and numbed; a session takes around thirty to forty-five minutes depending on the area. Afterwards the skin feels warm and looks flushed, with a sandpaper-like texture and mild swelling for a few days as it renews, so diligent moisturising and strict sun protection are essential. Because collagen remodelling is gradual, results continue to improve over the following weeks and months, and a short series of sessions gives the best outcome for texture and scarring. The treatment is not suitable over active infection or for certain skin conditions and is avoided in pregnancy; the surgeon confirms suitability and the right settings for your skin beforehand.
