Dr. Allison offers laser skin resurfacing in New Farm using CO2RE laser by Candela. Using the latest generation in laser technology, CO2 laser can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, pigmentation and other skin blemishes in a single treatment.
Treatment of the entire face is completed in as little as 90 minutes and requires only topical numbing. 5-7 days of downtime is expected during which time the skin will peel and shed. Results will continue to improve over the following of 3-6 months. Most patients will only require one treatment.

About the treatment
What is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
This procedure uses laser energy to dramatically rejuvenate the face by causing ablation and coagulation at targeted levels in the skin. It is particularly beneficial for patients living in Australia, where significant amount of sun exposure is accumulated throughout our lives. CO2 laser skin resurfacing addresses deep lines formed by scars or deep wrinkling, elastosis (a loss of elasticity) and uneven textural changes in the skin as we age.
How does CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing work?
It works by precisely ablating areas of skin into tunnelling micro columns produced by laser energy applied onto the surface of the skin. The CO2 laser transforms light energy into heat, coagulating tissue and causing formation of fresh new collagen and elastin bundles. The overall result is dramatic skin rejuvenation after just one treatment.
What is the downtime?
The CO2 laser is a more intense skin rejuvenation treatment and requires 5-7 days of downtime, depending on the depth of the treatment. The skin may also stay slightly pink for a month or so after healing is completed. Collagen will continue to be produced up to 12 months out from the treatment. The outcomes of this procedure are significantly improved by diligently following the pre and post-care instructions below.
The Laser Resurfacing procedure
Patients will be welcomed to the clinic and have topical numbing gel applied to the treatment area. They will also be given the option of oral pain medication to ensure that the treatment is as comfortable as possible. The CO2 laser resurfacing procedure will be provided under the guidance of Dr. Allison, a Cosmetic Physician with extensive experience in ablative laser. After the treatment, a post-procedure balm will be applied to the skin and an Aftercare Pack will be provided with detailed instructions. The patient will need to be driven home from the clinic by a friend or family member. The time spent in the clinic will be around 2 hours, but the procedure itself is only 60 minutes.
