CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Brisbane

CO2 laser icon 1, Dr Scott Brisbane

CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical option that may address certain changes in the skin. These changes can develop due to ageing, sun exposure, or other factors over time. At Dr Scott Horsburgh’s clinic in Brisbane, an assessment is carried out to determine the most suitable approach for each patient.

What Is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

This method uses laser technology to target selected areas of the skin. It works by removing layers of skin in a controlled way, allowing new surface layers to form. The approach may also support changes in skin texture and tone over time.

Book a Consultation

If you are considering CO2 laser skin resurfacing, you can book a consultation with Dr Scott Horsburgh. This appointment gives you the opportunity to discuss your concerns, the available options, and what may be involved in your treatment.

Treatment Approach

The way CO2 laser skin resurfacing is carried out will depend on the areas assessed during your consultation. Dr Scott Horsburgh will choose the settings and method based on your skin, goals, and overall suitability. Details of the procedure will be explained before any treatment is done.

Concerns That May Be Addressed

CO2 laser skin resurfacing may be considered for:

  • Fine lines in certain areas
  • Changes in skin tone or texture
  • Sun-related skin changes
  • Mild scarring
  • Areas where skin firmness has changed over time

Whether these concerns are suitable for treatment will be discussed during your consultation.

What to Expect Before the Treatment

What to Expect After the Treatment
