Laser Skin Resurfacing

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

Advanced fractional and fully ablative laser rejuvenation for deep lines, acne scarring, sun damage, and skin laxity. This treatment resurfaces and regenerates skin to improve clarity, tone, and texture.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Introduction

At The Grove Skin & Laser Clinic, we offer COâ‚‚ Laser Resurfacing using the FDA-approved Lumenis COâ‚‚ device, a gold standard in skin renewal. This treatment precisely removes damaged surface layers while stimulating collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. It’s ideal for tackling moderate to severe signs of ageing, texture irregularities, and stubborn scarring.

We start every patient journey with a full consultation and skin assesment.. Our laser specialist Jodie will prescribe a personalised treatment plan, ensuring all safety protocols and aftercare steps are fully understood. We also provide a tailored skin prep kit if necessary and follow-up support to help you get the most from your laser treatment.
