CO2 Laser
Skin Resurfacing
Melbourne
Texture, scarring, fine lines — when the skin needs
a more definitive reset, surface-level treatments
often aren’t enough.
CO2 laser is one of the most established
and effective options for improving skin
quality at a deeper level.

CO2 Laser, Performed with Precision
CO2 laser resurfacing is widely regarded as the gold standard in skin resurfacing, with decades of clinical research behind it.
It works by treating a controlled fraction of the skin at a time, removing damaged surface layers while stimulating new collagen beneath.
With each session, the skin becomes visibly smoother, clearer and more even in tone.
A single treatment can deliver a noticeable change. A series is often chosen by those seeking a more significant transformation — improving texture, refining tone and restoring overall skin quality.
What CO2 laser improves
Using advanced fractional CO2 techniques, this treatment works across multiple layers of the skin to improve both surface texture and deeper structural concerns.
✔ Wrinkles and Fine Lines
CO2 laser helps soften fine lines and more established wrinkles, including areas such as around the mouth and eyes. By stimulating collagen beneath the surface, it supports smoother, more refined skin over time.
✔ Scarring
CO2 laser is widely used for improving the appearance of scarring, including:
-
acne scars (rolling, boxcar and ice-pick)
-
surgical scars
-
trauma scars
-
chickenpox scarring
-
stretch marks
By working deeper within the skin, the treatment helps remodel scar tissue while encouraging the formation of healthier collagen.
✔ Skin firmness and Support
By stimulating collagen and elastin, CO2 laser can improve overall skin firmness.
This can create a subtle tightening effect across areas such as the cheeks, jawline and under-eye area.
✔ Texture and Pores
CO2 laser is particularly effective for improving uneven texture. It helps refine the surface of the skin, smoothing roughness and reducing the appearance of enlarged pores.
✔ Pigmentation and Tone
The resurfacing process can help reduce the appearance of sun damage, age spots and uneven pigmentation. This contributes to a clearer, more even overall skin tone.
✔ Long-term Skin Quality
CO2 laser works beyond the surface. As collagen continues to develop, the skin becomes progressively stronger, smoother and more refined in the weeks following treatment.
How CO2 laser works
CO2 fractional laser works by delivering controlled micro-columns of thermal energy into the skin, while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This allows the skin to repair more efficiently, supporting faster healing and a more controlled recovery.
What the treatment does
✔ Removes damaged surface cells
✔ Stimulates collagen production in deeper layers
✔ Remodels scar tissue
✔ Encourages new, healthier skin cells to form
✔ Improves wrinkles, pigmentation and overall skin quality
✔ Supports firmer, more resilient skin
This controlled process is what allows CO2 laser to deliver more meaningful improvement than more superficial treatments.
Why it works differently
Unlike lighter resurfacing treatments, CO2 laser works at both the surface and deeper levels of the skin.
It combines resurfacing with collagen stimulation, which allows for a more comprehensive improvement in texture, tone and overall skin structure.
LIGHT · MEDIUM · DEEP CO₂ LASER RESURFACING
The three depths of CO₂ laser resurfacing
At St James Aesthetics, CO₂ laser is tailored to your skin, your goals and the level of downtime you’re comfortable with. We offer three depths of treatment — Light, Medium and Deep — each designed to address different levels of skin change, from surface refinement through to more advanced correction.
Each treatment uses fractional CO₂ technology and can be adapted for full face resurfacing or more targeted areas.
Light CO₂ — Refresh and refine
A lower-intensity resurfacing option designed to improve skin clarity with minimal disruption to your routine.
Best suited for:
✔ Early signs of ageing
✔ Mild pigmentation and sun damage
✔ Uneven tone or dullness
✔ Those wanting a lower-downtime introduction to laser resurfacing
How it works
Light CO₂ treats the upper layers of the skin, creating controlled micro-columns (MENDS) that stimulate renewal while maintaining a shorter recovery period.
The focus is on improving brightness, refining texture and creating a smoother overall finish.
Treatment experience
✔ Optional topical anaesthetic available
✔ 30–45 minutes
✔ Mild warmth or tingling sensation
Recovery
✔ Days 1–2: redness and dryness
✔ Days 2–4: visible MENDS, light flaking
✔ Days 3–5: clearer, brighter skin emerges
Results
A glowing, fresher, more refined appearance with improved clarity and texture.
Investment
Face:
$499 (normally $1550)
Packages: 4 for $499 each | 6 for $399 each
Medium CO₂ — Restore and correct
A more advanced resurfacing treatment, working deeper within the skin to address texture, pigmentation and early structural change.
Best suited for:
✔ More established fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Sun damage and pigmentation
✔ Acne scarring and uneven texture
✔ Enlarged pores and reduced skin quality
How it works
Medium-depth resurfacing penetrates further into the skin, allowing for more noticeable correction while maintaining a balanced recovery period. This level begins to address deeper structural concerns, not just surface texture.
Treatment experience
✔ Topical anaesthetic recommended - additional charge
✔ 45–60 minutes
✔ Warmth, tingling and a more active sensation
Recovery
✔ Days 1–2: moderate redness and swelling
✔ Days 3–5: visible MENDS, skin renewal
✔ Days 5–7: smoother, more even skin
✔ Ongoing: continued refinement as collagen develops
Results
A more meaningful improvement in texture, tone and overall skin quality. For many clients, a series of medium-depth treatments offers the most balanced approach — delivering visible change while keeping downtime manageable.
Investment
Face: $799 (normally $1950)
Packages: 4 for $699 each | 6 for $599 each
Deep CO₂ — Intensive resurfacing
The most intensive level of CO₂ resurfacing, designed for more advanced skin concerns.
Best suited for:
✔ Deeper wrinkles
✔ More established acne scarring
✔ Significant sun damage
✔ More pronounced texture irregularities
How it works
Deep CO₂ treatments reach further into the dermis, allowing for a higher level of correction where more significant skin change is required. This approach focuses on rebuilding skin structure as well as resurfacing.
Treatment experience
✔ Stronger anaesthetic approach
✔ 60–90 minutes
✔ More intense warmth and pressure
Recovery
✔ Days 1–3: significant redness and swelling
✔ Days 3–7: visible MENDS and active skin renewal
✔ Days 7–14: smoother skin becomes more apparent
✔ Weeks following: continued improvement as collagen develops
Results
A substantial improvement in skin texture, tone and overall quality, particularly where deeper correction is required.
Investment
Face: $1595 (normally $2595)
Packages: 4 for $1395 each | 6 for $999 each

How Laser Cosmetic Tattoo Removal Works
Supporting your skin through recovery
As CO2 laser is a resurfacing treatment, appropriate aftercare is an important part of achieving a good outcome.
We recommend specific post-treatment products to support healing, protect the skin and optimise results. These will be discussed with you during your consultation.
CO2 laser is a more intensive, corrective treatment — typically chosen by those wanting to make a more meaningful change in their skin, rather than a maintenance approach.
Considering CO2 laser?
CO2 laser is often chosen by those ready to make a more meaningful change in their skin particularly where texture, scarring or visible skin damage is present. It’s not a casual treatment, but for the right person, it can deliver a noticeable shift in overall skin quality. The first step is a consultation. We’ll assess your skin in detail, talk through what’s possible, and guide you on whether CO2 laser and at what depth is appropriate for you.
