Laser Procedures (Fractional CO2, ClearSkin, ClearLift)
From deeper resurfacing to gentler rejuvenation, tailored to your skin goals.
Laser procedures can be used to improve skin texture, pigmentation, fine lines, scarring, pores, and overall skin quality. At Centre of Wellness, treatment planning is tailored to the concern being addressed — whether you need stronger resurfacing with Fractional CO2 or a lighter laser approach for clearer, fresher, more refined-looking skin.
Options for different intensities
From more powerful resurfacing to lighter rejuvenation, treatment can be matched to your skin concern and downtime preference.
Targets texture, tone & scarring
Laser procedures may help with wrinkles, sun damage, enlarged pores, pigmentation concerns, scars, and uneven texture.
Collagen-focused improvement
These procedures are selected to support skin remodelling, renewal, and a fresher, firmer-looking appearance over time.

Your treatment options
Your provider will recommend the most suitable laser pathway depending on the concern, treatment area, and expected downtime.
Fractional CO2
A stronger resurfacing option designed for deeper skin rejuvenation, collagen remodelling, severe sun damage, wrinkles, enlarged pores, age spots, acne or surgical scars, and stretch marks.
ClearSkin
A lighter laser-based option that can fit patients wanting support for problem skin, textural irregularities, pore refinement, and fresher-looking skin with less interruption to daily life.
ClearLift
A gentler rejuvenation-focused option for patients looking to improve overall skin freshness, pigmentation irregularities, and early signs of aging with a more convenient recovery profile.
Tailored laser planning
Some people need a stronger reset, while others benefit more from a progressive series of lighter treatments. Your provider will guide the right approach for your skin.
Common concerns treated
Laser procedures are commonly used where skin quality, tone, and visible signs of damage or aging need improvement.
Treatment areas
Depending on the laser selected, treatment can be performed on the face and many body areas where rejuvenation or resurfacing is needed.
Your appointment journey
Your provider will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and decide which laser approach is most appropriate. Stronger treatments such as Fractional CO2 usually involve topical numbing and several days of recovery, while lighter options may allow for minimal downtime and progressive treatment plans.
Consultation & skin assessment
Your skin type, concerns, pigment tendency, and recovery expectations are assessed before treatment selection.
Preparation
For stronger resurfacing treatments, topical anaesthetic may be applied first and clinical photography may be taken for comparison.
Laser treatment
The selected laser is passed over the target area in a controlled way to create the desired rejuvenating effect within the skin.
Aftercare & recovery
You’ll be guided on cooling, healing products, sun avoidance, and when to resume your usual skincare depending on the intensity of treatment.
What to expect
Improvement depends on the laser selected. Stronger resurfacing options often involve visible healing first, followed by collagen remodelling over weeks to months. Lighter laser treatments are usually chosen for quicker recovery and gradual improvement in tone, texture, clarity, and overall skin freshness.
Frequently asked questions
Tap a question to expand.
What is the difference between Fractional CO2, ClearSkin, and ClearLift?
Fractional CO2 is generally the stronger resurfacing option and is often chosen when more significant texture, scarring, pore, wrinkle, or sun-damage improvement is needed. ClearSkin and ClearLift are usually better suited to patients wanting lighter rejuvenation with less downtime.
How long does Fractional CO2 treatment take?
The live page notes that topical anaesthetic is usually applied for around 30 minutes first, and the procedure itself can take roughly 15 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the area treated.
What can Fractional CO2 help improve?
It is presented for tightening and collagen stimulation, severe sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, acne or surgical scarring, enlarged pores, age spots, uneven skin tone, and stretch marks.
Is there downtime after laser procedures?
Downtime varies. Fractional CO2 typically involves several days of recovery with redness and warmth initially, while lighter laser resurfacing options on the site are positioned as having minimal or no downtime.
When will I see results?
With Fractional CO2, visible improvement usually develops over a few weeks as the skin heals, with fuller results continuing to reveal themselves over about 3 to 6 months. Lighter laser options are often chosen for more gradual improvements over a treatment course.
Am I a good candidate for laser resurfacing?
Suitability depends on your skin type, tendency to pigment after heat-based treatments, your current skin health, and any recent medication use or procedures. A consultation is important before deciding which laser is safest and most effective.
Who should be cautious about stronger CO2 resurfacing?
The site advises caution or avoidance for people with active skin infection, pregnancy or breastfeeding, a history of keloid scarring, recent tretinoin or oral isotretinoin use, and some darker skin tones due to pigment risks.
Can these treatments be done on areas other than the face?
Yes. The site’s laser pages reference use on both face and body, including areas such as the neck, décolleté, hands, scars, and stretch-mark-prone areas.
