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.
