Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment in Woking
Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment is a personalised approach to skin resurfacing
Healthy skin is about improving texture, restoring confidence and supporting your skin’s natural ability to renew itself.
Fractional CO2 Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment designed to stimulate collagen production while improving a range of concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores and certain signs of sun damage.
At BodyLab Aesthetics, every treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment. We create a personalised treatment plan based on your skin condition, lifestyle, goals and recovery expectations.
What is Fractional CO2 Laser?
Fractional CO2 Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that creates controlled microscopic channels within the skin, stimulating renewal and collagen production while leaving the surrounding tissue intact.
Because only tiny, carefully controlled areas are treated, the skin is able to repair itself as part of the natural healing process. This is why Fractional CO2 Laser is classified as an ablative laser treatment.
As new collagen develops over the following weeks and months, the skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer and more refined.
Fractional CO2 Laser is widely recognised as one of the most effective treatments for improving skin texture and acne scars, while also helping to soften the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores and other visible signs of skin ageing.
How does Fractional CO2 Laser work?
Fractional CO2 Laser creates tiny controlled columns of thermal energy within the treatment area.
These microscopic treatment zones trigger the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of fresh collagen while replacing damaged skin with healthier tissue.
This process continues long after the treatment itself, meaning improvements develop gradually rather than overnight.
Because collagen remodelling takes time, skin quality often continues to improve for several months following treatment.

Is Fractional CO2 Laser right for you?
Fractional CO2 Laser may be suitable for patients looking to improve overall skin quality without surgery.
However, not every skin concern (or not every skin type) is best treated with CO2 Laser alone.
During your consultation we assess:
- your skin type
- your concerns
- previous treatments
- medical history
- healing ability
- downtime expectations
- treatment goals
If another treatment would be more appropriate, we will always explain your options and recommend the approach most suited to your skin.
When will I see results?
Some improvements become noticeable once the initial healing phase is complete.
However, collagen production continues for several months after treatment, meaning skin quality often improves progressively over time.
Depending on your skin concerns, more than one treatment session may be recommended to achieve the desired outcome.
Your treatment journey
Every patient’s experience is different, but your treatment typically follows these steps.
Consultation
We assess your skin, discuss your concerns and create a personalised treatment plan.
Preparation
Your skin is prepared and a topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort.
Treatment
The laser is carefully applied to the planned treatment areas using customised settings.
Recovery
Redness, swelling and skin peeling are expected parts of the healing process.
Results
As collagen develops, skin gradually becomes smoother, stronger and more refined over the following months.
Recovery and downtime
Recovery varies depending on treatment intensity and individual healing.
Most patients experience redness, swelling and a sensation similar to sunburn during the first few days.
As healing progresses, the skin naturally sheds and new, healthier skin gradually appears.
Following your aftercare advice (including sun protection) is essential for achieving the best possible outcome.

We believe that healthier skin comes from understanding the underlying condition, selecting the most appropriate treatment and supporting your skin throughout the healing process.
