CO2 Laser Resurfacing

CO2 Laser Resurfacing at Injex Clinics

CO2 laser skin resurfacing is an advanced skin treatment available at Injex Clinics in Brisbane. It may be recommended during a consultation for individuals concerned with skin texture, tone, fine lines, and visible skin irregularities.

Using controlled laser technology, this treatment works by targeting the outer layers of the skin while stimulating natural skin renewal processes beneath the surface.

Treatment plans, recovery time and outcomes vary between individuals and are always assessed by a qualified practitioner prior to treatment.

What is a CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing is a medical-grade skin treatment that uses focused laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin and support collagen stimulation.

This process may help improve:

  • Skin texture and tone
  • Appearance of fine lines
  • Visible sun damage
  • Certain types of acne scarring

The treatment can be customised to different intensity levels depending on your skin concerns and goals, ranging from superficial to deeper resurfacing treatments.

Suitability, expected outcomes and risks are discussed during a consultation with a qualified practitioner.

What Results Can I Expect?

Following CO2 laser resurfacing, some patients may notice improvements in skin smoothness, tone and overall appearance.

Initial changes may be visible once the skin begins to heal, while further improvements can develop over time as collagen production continues.

Results vary depending on:

  • Skin type
  • Treatment intensity
  • Individual healing response

Multiple treatments may be recommended to achieve desired outcomes.
