CO2 laser resurfacing is typically chosen by Marylebone patients looking to address more established skin concerns such as deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, sun damage, or overall loss of skin quality. At Dr Joney De Souza’s London clinic, CO₂ laser treatment is approached carefully, with a strong emphasis on suitability, recovery planning, and long-term skin health.
Patients from Marylebone often present with concerns that require a more corrective approach rather than maintenance-focused treatments alone. CO2 laser resurfacing is well suited to this, as it allows for controlled skin renewal and structural improvement when appropriately selected.
Rather than offering treatment based on age or appearance alone, Dr Joney focuses on skin condition, medical history, and realistic outcomes. For Marylebone patients, this assessment-led approach is particularly important, as CO2 laser resurfacing involves planned downtime and a commitment to recovery.
Treatment is only recommended where the potential benefits clearly outweigh the recovery demands.
CO2 laser resurfacing is an ablative laser treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness by stimulating skin renewal. Unlike gentler laser technologies, CO2 laser works at a deeper level, making it suitable for more significant skin concerns.
In clinical practice, CO2 laser resurfacing may be used to treat acne scarring, fine to deep wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. Treatment intensity and depth are tailored to the individual, allowing for a personalised approach rather than a standardised setting.
Because CO2 laser resurfacing is a more involved treatment, it is usually performed as a single session, with results developing progressively as the skin heals and remodels. Patients are encouraged to review the main CO2 laser resurfacing information page for a full explanation of how treatment is planned and delivered.
The clinic’s location makes it easily accessible for patients living or working in Marylebone. Many patients attend appointments on foot or via nearby Underground stations such as Baker Street, Regent’s Park, or Bond Street.
Because CO2 laser resurfacing involves a recovery period, Marylebone patients often value the ability to travel home easily after treatment and attend follow-up appointments without long journeys. The clinic team provides detailed aftercare guidance and remains available throughout the recovery phase.
If you’re based in Marylebone and considering CO2 laser resurfacing, a consultation is essential to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your skin and lifestyle. You can find full CO2 laser treatment information on the main page or contact the clinic to arrange an assessment.
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.

No. CO2 laser resurfacing is typically recommended for more established concerns such as deeper wrinkles or acne scarring. Suitability is assessed carefully during consultation.
Downtime varies depending on treatment depth and individual healing response. This is discussed in detail during consultation so patients can plan recovery appropriately.
In some cases, CO2 laser resurfacing forms part of a broader treatment plan. Any combination approach is carefully staged and planned to ensure safety and optimal healing.
CO2 laser resurfacing is usually not a first-line laser for beginners. Alternative treatments may be recommended initially, depending on skin condition and goals.
Recovery is planned in advance, with detailed guidance provided before treatment. Many Marylebone patients appreciate having nearby access to the clinic for follow-up reviews, which helps ensure healing is monitored closely during the initial recovery period.
Yes. Treatment depth and intensity can be adjusted depending on skin condition, concerns, and tolerance for downtime. This allows for a more controlled approach rather than applying the same treatment level to every patient.
In most cases, CO2 laser resurfacing is performed as a single, planned treatment rather than a repeated course. Further treatment is only considered after full healing and reassessment of the skin.
