​

Does Your Skin Need a Fresh Start?

Fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, enlarged pores or dull, uneven tone are concerns that topical skincare cannot correct alone.
Our Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing treatment removes damaged surface layers while stimulating deep collagen remodelling — creating smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

This CO2 laser anti-ageing treatment is chosen by clients wanting noticeable, long-term transformation with proven results across Melbourne and Victoria.

 

Benefits of CO₂ Fractional Laser

(Using ActiveFX & DeepFX-Style Techniques)

​​

Our advanced CO2 laser treatment provides comprehensive improvement for: 

​

Wrinkle and Line Reduction

Softens fine lines, deeper wrinkles, smokers lines and expression lines.
This laser treatment for fine lines and wrinkles stimulates collagen for long-term smoothing.

 

Scar Revision

Our CO2 laser acne scar treatment improves:
– Acne scars (rolling, boxcar, ice pick)
– Surgical scars
– Trauma scars
– Chickenpox scars
– Stretch marks

Using deeper techniques similar to DeepFX CO2 fractional laser, we remodel scar tissue while stimulating collagen.

​

Skin Tightening and Firmness

A leading CO2 laser for skin tightening, this treatment boosts collagen and elastin for subtle lifting across cheeks, jawline, under eyes and neck.

​

Texture Refinement

Perfect for rough texture, uneven tone and enlarged pores.
A highly effective laser resurfacing for rough skin and pore refinement.

 

Tone and Pigmentation Correction

Helps fade sunspots, age spots and pigmentation — an excellent CO2 laser for pigmentation option.

 

Long-Term Rejuvenation

Collagen renewal continues for weeks, making fractional CO2 laser skin renewal one of the most effective anti-ageing laser treatments.

​

Scar Treatment with Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Scarring is one of the most difficult concerns to treat with skincare alone.
Our CO2 laser for acne scars, CO2 laser for surgical scars, and CO2 laser for traumatic scars provide dramatic improvement using advanced fractional resurfacing techniques used across Melbourne and Victoria.

The treatment targets multiple scar layers, helping remodel damaged collagen while stimulating new, healthy tissue.

​

We treat all scar types using CO₂:

• Acne scars – rolling, boxcar, ice-pick

• Surgical scars

• Trauma scars

• Chickenpox scars

• Stretch marks (dermal scarring)

For deeper scars, our method mirrors DeepFX-style CO2 fractional laser, penetrating further to trigger collagen regeneration and restoring smoother skin.

Because every scar is unique, each customised treatment plan is tailored to depth, location and downtime tolerance.

​

Areas That Can Be Treated

While many clients search for CO2 laser face treatment, this technology can treat almost any area with damaged, aged or uneven skin.

 

Commonly treated areas include:

• Face – full face or isolated zones (eyes, mouth, forehead)

• Eyes – under-eye crepiness, eyelids, crow’s feet (CO2 laser for eye rejuvenation)

• Neck & Décolletage – lines, laxity, sun damage

• Hands – pigmentation, thinning skin, texture

• Abdomen – stretch marks, loose post-pregnancy skin

• Thighs & Buttocks – scarring, crepiness, rough texture

• Back – acne scarring & pigmentation

• Other areas – virtually any zone requiring laser resurfacing for rough skin or correction of pigmentation

We regularly treat clients across Melbourne, Camberwell, Essendon and Geelong looking for CO2 laser resurfacing Melbourne and advanced CO2 laser tightening for ageing skin.

 

​

​

How CO₂ Fractional Resurfacing Works

Fractional CO2 laser technology creates thousands of microscopic columns of thermal energy that penetrate the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This process speeds up healing and reduces downtime.

​

What the technology does:

• Removes damaged skin cells (carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing)

• Heats deeper dermal layers to trigger CO2 laser collagen stimulation

• Remodels scar tissue in deeper layers

• Encourages healthy new cells to regenerate

• Reduces wrinkles, pigmentation and surface damage

• Tightens and firms ageing skin

This controlled injury–repair response is why fractional CO2 laser Melbourne clinics regard it as the most effective non-surgical wrinkle treatment and anti-ageing treatment available today.

Unlike lighter lasers (e.g., Fraxel-style), the CO2 laser treatment both ablates and heats tissue, producing significantly more dramatic improvement in wrinkles, scarring and pigmentation.
