A local anaesthetic is applied during the CO2 laser skin resurfacing procedure to relieve any potential discomfort. For full-face treatments, alternative methods of anaesthesia may be utilised to ensure maximum comfort.
CO2 laser skin resurfacing can be administered on various areas, including:
Around the Eyes: Target fine lines and wrinkles.
Around the Mouth: Smooth out deeper lines and wrinkles.
Acne Scarring on the Cheeks: Minimise the appearance of scars.
Full Face: Address fine lines, sun damage, and skin texture.
Hands: Rejuvenate ageing hands and improve skin appearance.
CO2 laser skin resurfacing is ideal for individuals with significant facial lines and deep wrinkles, facial scars including acne scarring, and uneven pigmentation due to sun damage. However, it is not recommended for treating hormonal pigmentation like melasma.
Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Particularly effective for treating deep facial lines and wrinkles.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Enhances skin smoothness and enhances skin tone.
Minimises Scars: Effective in reducing the appearance of acne and surgical scars.
Treats Uneven Pigmentation: Addresses photodamage and precancerous spots.
Long-lasting Results: Provides rejuvenated, youthful-looking skin with proper aftercare.
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing is a safe procedure with minimal side effects. Common side effects include redness and swelling, which typically subside within a few days to weeks. It is crucial to consult with a Skin Renewal doctor to discuss potential complications and ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin type.
This treatment is not recommended for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types 5 and 6). The Endymed FSR treatment is a better alternative in these cases.
A comprehensive skin consultation with one of our Skin Renewal doctors is essential. During this consultation, we will discuss the indications and contraindications of CO2 laser skin resurfacing and assess your skin to tailor the treatment to your needs.
Initial Healing: Expect redness and swelling during the initial healing period.
Skin Care: Use gentle cleansers and moisturisers, avoid sun exposure, and apply high-SPF sunscreen.
Follow-up Appointments: Regular follow-ups to monitor healing and address any concerns.
Transform your skin with the advanced technology of CO2 laser skin resurfacing. Contact Skin Renewal today to schedule your consultation and take the first step towards rejuvenated, youthful skin.
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments are available at our Western Cape branches at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics.
One CO2 laser skin resurfacing session can provide noticeable improvements, but for optimal results, multiple sessions may be necessary depending on the extent of skin damage and individual skin type.
Good candidates for CO2 laser skin resurfacing include individuals with significant facial lines and deep wrinkles, facial scars (such as acne scars), and uneven pigmentation due to sun damage. It is not recommended for those with hormonal pigmentation like melasma.
CO2 laser skin resurfacing risks include redness, swelling, infection, pigmentation changes, and, in rare cases, scarring. Consulting with a qualified doctor at Skin Renewal can help mitigate these risks.
Common side effects of CO2 laser skin resurfacing include redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn. These typically subside within a few days to weeks. Proper aftercare is crucial to minimise side effects.
Individuals with darker skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types 5 and 6), those with active acne, or people with certain medical conditions should avoid CO2 laser treatment. A consultation with a Skin Renewal doctor is essential to determine suitability.

Absolutely love Skin Renewal! The staff are always so warm, welcoming and helpful. I live in Stellies so the Stellenbosch branch is a 5 minute drive away from my home/work - super convenient. I couldn’t recommend my doctor enough - Dr Helenka Fourie. She is professional, approachable, incredibly knowledgable and trustworthy. She has helped me tremendously with my skin concerns and will always make sure I understand the process 100%. I’ll be back again and again and again.
