The Science
What Is CO2
Fractional Laser?
The gold standard in non-surgical skin rejuvenation, trusted by dermatologists worldwide for over two decades.

Mild acne scars
Skin Texture Refinement
CO₂ fractional laser therapy uses precise columns of light energy to create thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin. This controlled process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production deep within the dermis.
Unlike older ablative lasers that treated 100% of the skin surface, fractional technology leaves surrounding tissue intact — dramatically reducing downtime while delivering superior results. The result is smoother, firmer, and more luminous skin that continues to improve for up to 12 months post-treatment.

Treatment Journey
Your 60-Minute Renewal Ritual
From first consultation to lasting results — a carefully managed process designed for your safety and optimal outcome.
Initial Consultation & Skin Assessment
A comprehensive evaluation of your skin type, concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. Your clinician will perform a Fitzpatrick skin typing assessment and photograph baseline conditions to create a personalised treatment plan.

Pre-Treatment Preparation
2–4 weeks of skin preconditioning with medical-grade topicals may be prescribed to optimise outcomes and reduce post-inflammatory risk. Antiviral prophylaxis is provided for patients with a history of cold sores.
2–4 weeks prior
Topical Anaesthesia & Comfort Prep
Medical-grade numbing cream is applied 45–60 minutes before your session to ensure maximum comfort. A cooling fan system maintains a comfortable treatment experience throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CO₂ laser treatment painful?
Topical anaesthetic cream is applied 45–60 minutes before treatment, making the procedure well-tolerated by most patients. During treatment, you may feel warmth and mild stinging sensations. Post-procedure discomfort is similar to a moderate sunburn and subsides within 24–48 hours with prescribed aftercare.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve their goals with 1–3 sessions spaced 8–12 weeks apart. A single aggressive treatment is often recommended for wrinkles and photoaging, while acne scarring may benefit from a series of moderate-depth sessions. Your clinician will recommend the optimal protocol at consultation.
What is the cost of CO₂ laser treatment?
Treatment pricing is customised based on the area treated, depth settings, and number of sessions required. Full face treatments typically range from ₹25,000 to ₹80,000 per session in India. A detailed cost breakdown is provided at your consultation, with flexible payment plans available.
Can I combine CO₂ laser with other treatments?
Yes. CO₂ laser is frequently combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for enhanced healing, dermal fillers post-recovery for volume, and medical-grade skincare programmes. Combinations are sequenced strategically to maximise results without compromising safety. Botulinum toxin is typically administered 2 weeks prior or after.
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting — typically 5–10 years for structural changes like wrinkle reduction and scar improvement. The skin continues to improve for up to 12 months post-treatment as new collagen matures. Longevity is significantly extended with consistent SPF use, medical-grade skincare, and occasional maintenance treatments every 2–3 years.
When can I return to work or social activities?
Most patients feel comfortable resuming professional work (from home or office with makeup) after 7–10 days. Social activities with full makeup coverage are typically comfortable from Day 10–14. We recommend scheduling your treatment before a planned quieter period of 1–2 weeks for the best experience.
Is CO₂ laser safe for Indian and Asian skin tones?
CO₂ laser requires specialist expertise for Fitzpatrick IV–V skin tones common in South Asia. Our clinicians are extensively trained in modified protocols — lower fluence, fractional density, and mandatory pre-treatment preparation — that significantly reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A thorough assessment ensures your treatment is safe and effective.
What should I avoid before my treatment?
In the 2 weeks before treatment, avoid sun tanning, self-tanning products, retinoids/retinol, chemical exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs), waxing, and any other laser or energy-based treatments in the area. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen unless medically necessary for 5 days prior. Full pre-care instructions will be provided at consultation.
