What Can CO₂ Laser Treat?
Your Consultation
Every treatment at No5 The Skin Clinic begins with a detailed consultation. We assess your skin, discuss your concerns and medical history, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your desired results.
Your safety and satisfaction are our priority, which is why every treatment is tailored specifically to you.
Recovery
CO₂ Laser Resurfacing involves a period of healing while new skin develops.
Following treatment you may experience:
- Redness
- Mild swelling
- A warm, sunburn-like sensation
- Peeling and flaking as the skin renews itself
Most clients feel comfortable returning to social activities within 7–10 days, although this varies depending on the treatment intensity.
Protecting your skin with a high-factor sunscreen and following your aftercare instructions is essential for the best possible outcome.
