The most powerful resurfacing laser in skin medicine reaching the depth of damage that gentler treatments can't. Smooths deep lines, softens acne and surgical scars, and remodels collagen for visibly firmer, clearer skin. Dramatic results in as few as 1 to 3 sessions, with a short, predictable recovery.
See exactly how fractional CO2 resurfacing works what it treats, what a session feels like, and what to expect during your short recovery from the team at Laser Skin Centre, Bilinga.
"The latest generation of fractional CO2 laser resurfacing on the Gold Coast delivered by Cynosure Lutronic with precision, control and long-lasting results."
The fractional CO2 laser uses fractional ablative technology delivering controlled micro-beams of energy that remove damaged skin while stimulating fresh collagen. The result is smoother, tighter, healthier-looking skin with visible improvement in tone and texture.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is a powerful ablative treatment and is most suitable for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III). Your clinician carefully assesses your skin type and tailors treatment safely — suitability is always confirmed at consultation.
The fractional CO2 laser creates tiny, controlled columns of heat in the skin, vaporising old, damaged tissue with micron-level precision while leaving the surrounding skin intact.
Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at once, the untreated zones around each column act as a healing reservoir giving you dramatic resurfacing with a shorter, more predictable recovery than fully ablative lasers.
The treated zones trigger your body's natural healing response, replacing damaged cells with fresh tissue and laying down new collagen and elastin from the dermis up smoothing scars and wrinkles and firming the skin.
Visible improvement appears once your skin has healed, then continues developing for roughly 3 to 6 months as collagen rebuilds. With a good skincare routine, results can last for years.

We explain the treatment in full expected results, recommended depth, recovery (typically 4 to 14 days), and any risks specific to your skin. You will never be pressured to proceed.
A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The treatment itself takes approximately 30 to 60+ minutes depending on the area and the depth selected. Your skin will feel warm, like sunburn, immediately afterwards and you'll go home with full written aftercare instructions.
Expect redness and mild swelling for several days, with peeling and renewal over roughly 4 to 10 days as fresh skin emerges. Any lingering redness fades gradually over the following weeks. Results then continue building for 3 to 6 months as new collagen develops, and your technician monitors your progress throughout.

Meet Our Team
Alessandra was a Div 2 Medications Endorsed Enrolled Nurse for five years before her passion for cosmetic dermal therapies led her to specialise in laser treatments. She is renowned for her work with resurfacing, scarring and stubborn pigmentation, and leads the clinic's fractional CO2 laser protocols.
Ciara is a professional and passionate dermal therapist with 4 years of experience. Graduating from The French Beauty Academy with three Diplomas, she especially loves treating stubborn pigmentation, scarring and texture, and helping clients achieve smoother, renewed skin.
Because fractional CO2 laser works at depth, many concerns improve dramatically in as few as 1 to 3 sessions. Some clients choose a single deeper resurfacing treatment, while others prefer a course of lighter sessions. The right approach depends on your concern, its severity and your skin's response your technician will recommend a plan at your consultation.
Fractional CO2 laser is fractional and ablative it actually removes microscopic columns of damaged tissue while triggering deep collagen regeneration. This delivers more dramatic resurfacing than gentler non-ablative lasers, particularly for scars, deep wrinkles and texture. The trade-off is a recovery period, which we'll explain fully so you know exactly what to expect.
A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable. During treatment most clients describe a warm, prickling sensation. Afterwards the skin feels like sunburn for a day or two. Your technician manages your comfort throughout and provides aftercare products and guidance to support healing.
Yes, unlike non-ablative lasers, fractional CO2 laser involves a genuine recovery period, and we're upfront about it. Downtime is typically 4 to 14 days depending on the depth treated: redness and mild swelling for several days, followed by peeling and skin renewal over roughly 4 to 10 days. Any lingering redness fades gradually over the following weeks.
Fractional CO2 laser is most suitable for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III). Because it is ablative, deeper or more melanin-rich skin tones carry a higher risk of pigment change and require careful, conservative treatment and in some cases a gentler alternative is the safer choice. This is exactly why a consultation is required first: your clinician assesses your skin and recommends only what is safe and appropriate for you.
Most clients see smoother texture, softened wrinkles and scars, more even tone and firmer, refreshed skin. Improvement becomes visible once the skin has healed and continues building for 3 to 6 months as new collagen develops. With a good skincare routine, results can last for years. Results vary between individuals and are not guaranteed.
Fractional CO2 laser can be used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands, as well as on scars elsewhere on the body. Many clients treat multiple areas for an even, rejuvenated result. Your technician will confirm suitable areas during your assessment.
Diligent aftercare protects your results. You'll keep the skin clean and well moisturised as it heals, avoid picking any peeling skin, and use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily while avoiding direct sun for the recommended period. Avoid strenuous exercise for the first few days. We provide full written aftercare instructions and recommend gentle skincare until your skin has fully recovered.
