CO2 Laser resurfacing for smoother, renewed skin

MEDICAL AESTHETICS

CO2 Laser Resurfacing at Dr Tranter Aesthetics is a gold-standard treatment for improving skin texture, tone, and firmness. Using controlled laser energy, it removes damaged surface layers and stimulates collagen production beneath the skin.

It reduces fine lines, sun damage, uneven texture, and scarring, with results developing gradually as collagen remodelling occurs over several months.

CO2 Laser resurfacing is not a single treatment. It is delivered at different intensities depending on skin condition, goals, and downtime tolerance, with suitability assessed during consultation.

Why it's different

Our DEKA Punto CO2 system offers two distinct approaches. DOT Therapy is a more intensive fractional resurfacing option for significant texture, scarring, and sun damage. CoolPeel is a lighter resurfacing option with minimal downtime, suited to patients wanting gradual improvement with less recovery. The appropriate approach is determined during consultation based on your skin and goals.
