What is CO₂ Skin Tightening?
CO₂ Skin Tightening is a fractional laser treatment that resurfaces controlled areas of skin to improve texture and mild laxity. The approach is personalised after a full clinical assessment.
Treatment goal
The goal is to improve skin texture and mild laxity while using settings that the patient’s skin can safely heal. The outcome should suit the individual’s anatomy and treatment priorities.
Safety and suitability
It is generally well tolerated in suitable patients when performed by a qualified practitioner after medical screening, but no treatment is risk-free. Correct diagnosis, device selection, skin-type assessment and eye protection where relevant are essential.
Temporary redness, warmth, tenderness, dryness, swelling, crusting or peeling can occur depending on treatment depth.
Possible risks include burns, infection, prolonged redness, pigment change, scarring, reactivation of cold sores and an unsatisfactory result. Unexpected symptoms need prompt clinical assessment.
