CO2 Laser in Islamabad and Batkhela

CO2 laser resurfaces the skin so it heals tighter and smoother. It is the strongest thing we do for scarring, and it asks for a week of your life.

What it actually is

The laser creates microscopic columns of controlled injury, leaving healthy skin in between to drive the healing. The skin rebuilds more evenly, which fills scarring from underneath and smooths texture.

It is genuinely the most effective option for deep acne scarring. It is also the one that demands honesty about recovery, because the first few days are not subtle.

The practical details

How long it takes
About an hour with numbing.
Recovery
Five to seven days of redness and peeling. Plan it properly.
When you see it
Once healed, improving for months.
How long it lasts
Years. Often one course is enough.

What it helps with

  • Deep or pitted acne scarring
  • Sun damage and rough texture
  • Fine lines around the mouth and eyes
  • Large pores

What it will not do

If you cannot take five to seven days away from normal life, do not book this. Microneedling gets you to a similar place more slowly and lets you keep working. We would rather route you there than have you regret the week.

Being honest with you

Two hard rules. We will not do this while acne is actively breaking out, because we would be treating a moving target. And we will not do it within months of isotretinoin, because skin does not heal normally after it. Tell us if you have taken Roaccutane.

Questions people ask

How bad is the recovery honestly?
Days one to three you look sunburnt and feel tight. Days three to five the skin flakes off. By about a week you are presentable. It is a real week, not a marketing week.
Is CO2 laser safe on brown skin?
It can be, with careful settings, but the risk of pigmentation afterwards is higher than on pale skin. We assess that honestly and sometimes recommend needling instead.
How many sessions?
Often one, sometimes two or three for deep scarring, spaced months apart.
