How Does CO2 Laser Treatment Work for Scars?
Fractional CO2 Laser resurfacing is widely considered the gold standard in aesthetic medicine for scar revision.
The device works by directing concentrated beams of light into the skin, creating microscopic channels in the scar tissue. This advanced, fractional technology bypasses the top layer of skin and targets the deeper dermis. By creating these controlled micro-injuries, the laser safely breaks down the tough, fibrous bands of the scar and triggers the body’s natural healing response.
This process stimulates massive production of fresh collagen and elastin, replacing the damaged scar tissue with smoother, healthier, and more evenly toned skin over time.
Specialist Treatment for Post-Breast Surgery Scars
Breast surgeries whether for augmentation, reduction, uplift (mastopexy), or mastectomy often leave distinct scars. While surgeons take great care to minimise scarring, genetics and skin type dictate how your body heals.
Our London laser specialists have extensive experience in treating the specific scar patterns associated with breast surgery, including:
Periareolar Scars: Scars located around the edge of the areola.
Anchor Scars: Often resulting from breast reductions or lifts, running vertically down from the areola and horizontally along the breast crease.
Inframammary Fold Scars: Scars hidden in the crease beneath the breast, common in breast augmentation.
How the laser helps: The CO2 laser is incredibly effective at softening raised (hypertrophic) surgical scars, reducing redness or hyperpigmentation, and smoothing the texture so the scar blends naturally with the surrounding breast tissue.
Other Types of Scars We Effectively Treat
Our CO2 Laser technology is highly versatile and can be customised to treat a wide variety of scar types across the face and body:
Including scars from C-sections, tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), and appendectomies.
Highly effective for deep facial scarring, including rolling, boxcar, and ice-pick scars.
Marks left behind from accidents, burns, or deep cuts.
By stimulating collagen, the laser can significantly improve the texture and colour of deep stretch marks.
Located in the heart of Mayfair, London, our clinic is just a three-minute walk from Oxford Circus Station.
FAQ
YOUR
COMMON QUESTIONS
Can a CO2 laser completely erase my scar?
It is important to have realistic expectations. No medical technology can completely “erase” a scar so that it is 100% invisible. However, fractional CO2 laser treatment is highly effective at flattening raised tissue, fading discolouration, and blending the scar so that it is significantly less noticeable.
How many CO2 laser sessions will I need?
This depends on the severity, age, and type of the scar. Most patients require a course of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve the best possible results.
Does CO2 laser scar removal hurt?
We apply a strong medical-grade topical anaesthetic before the procedure to minimise any discomfort. Most patients tolerate the treatment very well, describing it as a warm, snapping sensation on the skin.
When is the best time to start treating a post-surgery scar?
We generally recommend waiting until the surgical incision has fully closed and the initial healing phase is complete, which is usually around 6 to 12 weeks post-surgery. However, treating scars while they are still relatively new (within the first year) often yields the fastest results. We can advise you on the perfect timeline during your consultation.
Your Laser Scar Removal Journey
1. Comprehensive Free Consultation
Before any treatment begins, you will meet with one of our laser specialists at our Central London clinic. We will assess the age, depth, and type of your scar, perform a patch test if necessary, and design a tailored treatment plan.
2. The Laser Procedure
On the day of your treatment, a highly effective topical numbing cream is applied to the area to ensure your comfort. During the procedure, you may feel a warm, prickling sensation as the laser passes over the scar. Treatment times vary from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the area.
3. Recovery and Results
CO2 laser treatment requires some downtime. The treated area will look and feel like mild sunburn for a few days, followed by some natural flaking and peeling as the new skin emerges. Over the following weeks and months, as collagen rebuilds, you will see a progressive fading and smoothing of the scar.
