CO2 laser resurfacing is typically considered by Mayfair patients who want to address more established skin concerns—such as deeper lines, sun damage, or textural changes—while prioritising privacy and predictability. At Dr Joney De Souza’s London clinic, this treatment is offered selectively, following a detailed consultation and clear recovery planning.
Patients based in Mayfair often approach corrective treatments as part of a broader investment in skin quality rather than a reactive decision. CO2 laser resurfacing suits this mindset when a more meaningful structural improvement is required and when downtime can be planned discreetly.
Rather than rushing treatment, consultations focus on whether CO2 laser resurfacing is genuinely appropriate, how recovery will be managed, and how results are expected to evolve over time. This personalised approach ensures treatment remains subtle, controlled, and aligned with individual expectations.
CO2 laser resurfacing is an ablative laser treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness through controlled skin renewal. Because it works at a deeper level than non-ablative lasers, it is typically reserved for more established concerns that have not responded to lighter treatments such as deeper wrinkles, acne sacrring, and age spots
Treatment depth and coverage are tailored to the individual, allowing results to be balanced carefully against recovery time. In most cases, CO2 laser resurfacing is performed as a single, planned procedure, with improvements continuing to develop as the skin heals and remodels.
Patients are encouraged to review the main CO2 laser resurfacing information page for a full explanation of suitability, technique, and recovery.
Mayfair’s central location allows discreet access to the clinic, whether travelling by car, taxi, or Underground via stations such as Green Park, Bond Street, or Marble Arch.
Many Mayfair patients prefer appointments that minimise time spent travelling or waiting. The clinic team can advise on scheduling, follow-up visits, and aftercare planning to ensure the entire process feels seamless and private.

Following treatment, the skin will feel warm and appear red, similar to a sunburn. Mild swelling, tightness or dryness are normal in the first few days. Dr Joney will provide a tailored aftercare routine, which may include gentle cleansing, healing creams and strict sun protection. As the skin begins to heal, you may experience light peeling as new, healthier skin emerges.
Downtime varies depending on the intensity of your treatment, typically ranging from a few days to a week. Over the following weeks, collagen production increases, and your results continue to improv, revealing smoother texture, softened lines and a fresher, rejuvenated complexion. A review appointment may be scheduled to monitor your progress and advise on maintenance treatments if needed.
CO2 laser resurfacing is a highly effective treatment for smoothing lines, improving texture and correcting sun damage. The fractional laser creates controlled micro-columns of heat in the skin, stimulating fresh collagen and encouraging renewal. This helps soften wrinkles, refine uneven texture, reduce pigmentation and improve scarring with long-lasting results.
The treatment is non-surgical but more intensive than lighter resurfacing options, offering noticeable improvement after a single session. Mild redness, swelling or warmth are expected during the initial healing period, with downtime varying from a few days to around a week depending on the depth of treatment. As the skin regenerates, you’ll see progressive improvements over the following weeks, revealing smoother, clearer and more youthful-looking skin.
