C02 Laser Sydney

About the treatment

We believe that achieving the most confident and beautiful version of yourself at Shape Clinic begins with great skin.

The CO2 (carbon dioxide) Fractional Laser is an effective anti-ageing and skin remodelling laser treatment. It uses a wavelength with the capability to pass through the epidermis (superficial layer of skin) and the dermis (deeper layer of the skin), which produces regeneration from the deeper skin layers. It is an ablative system where the top layer of the skin is ablated and requires some time to heal over. The purpose of treatment will dictate how many treatments are needed.
