Procedure / technique
CO2 laser
An ablative laser that vaporises tissue with precision — it removes benign lesions (keratoses, syringomas, xanthelasmas) and, in fractional mode, renews the skin in scars and photoageing.
Recovery depends on the depth treated; your doctor will decide which mode is right for each indication.
