Fractional CO₂ Laser

Adding ASCE Plus SRLV Exosomes after advanced treatments such as CO₂ laser, RF Microneedling, IPL, HIFU, or laser facials enhances both recovery and results.
The exosomes accelerate healing, reduce redness, and help rebuild your skin barrier faster — while also reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and scarring.
You’ll heal more evenly, experience less downtime, and see brighter, firmer, more radiant skin after every session.

Yes — but with a much gentler recovery. At Continental Skin Clinic London, we use the advanced Lutronic eCO₂ fractional laser, which delivers the same level of skin renewal and collagen stimulation as traditional fully ablative CO₂ lasers, but with far less downtime and risk.

Unlike fully ablative CO₂, which removes the entire top layer of skin, fractional eCO₂ creates microscopic treatment zones surrounded by healthy tissue. This allows the skin to heal faster while still triggering deep collagen remodelling for smoother texture, refined pores, and reduced lines and scarring.

You’ll achieve powerful resurfacing results — firmer, clearer, and more radiant skin — without the extended redness or recovery associated with older CO₂ methods. That’s why fractional eCO₂ has become London’s leading choice for safe, effective skin rejuvenation.

Yes. Fractional eCO₂ triggers deep collagen remodelling, firming and lifting the skin from within. While gentler than fully ablative systems, it can achieve comparable tightening with far less downtime and risk.

During the procedure, the eCO₂ laser delivers micro-columns of light energy into precise depths of the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and accelerating cell renewal.

Because surrounding skin remains untouched, healing is faster and more comfortable. You’ll see early improvements in texture and tone within days, with tightening and lifting effects developing over the following weeks.

This advanced technology can treat the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and body areas such as the abdomen, knees, and arms to improve stretch marks and skin texture.

The laser creates microscopic columns that break down damaged tissue and stimulate collagen and elastin renewal beneath the skin. Over time, this remodels the scar or stretch mark, softening its appearance and improving texture and tone.

Unlike older or fully ablative CO₂ lasers, Lutronic eCO₂ treats the skin fractionally — creating microscopic columns while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This allows faster healing, less discomfort, and a lower risk of pigmentation changes.

Its Dynamic Mode™ and Controlled Chaos Technology™ ensure uniform energy delivery for consistent, safe outcomes across all skin types.

To ensure the best outcome, we recommend:

Avoiding sun exposure, fake tan, and active skincare (retinoids, acids) for one week before treatment

Avoiding other energy-based treatments for at least 10 days prior

Arriving with clean, makeup-free skin

During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, assess your skin, and create a tailored treatment plan suited to your needs and goals.

Your skin will feel warm and tight immediately after treatment, followed by mild redness and peeling as part of the healing process.

For best results:

• Keep skin clean and well moisturised
• Avoid makeup and active products for 48–72 hours
• Avoid heat, saunas, or intense exercise for one week
• Apply daily SPF to protect new skin from UV damage

We’ll provide a customised aftercare plan and recommend professional post-laser recovery products to support your results.

eCO₂ Laser Resurfacing is a fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment that renews and resurfaces your skin with remarkable precision. It delivers controlled beams of light that create microscopic channels in the skin, removing damaged cells and stimulating new collagen formation beneath the surface.

This process renews the skin’s outer layer while rebuilding structure and elasticity from within. Unlike traditional CO₂ lasers, Lutronic eCO₂ treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing and a more comfortable recovery.

The result is beautifully refined skin that looks tighter, smoother, and naturally radiant.

Before your treatment, we’ll apply a topical anaesthetic to ensure comfort throughout. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle warmth or prickling.

After the procedure, your skin may feel warm — similar to mild sunburn — followed by light flaking or bronzing as old skin cells shed. Over the next 5–7 days, new skin will emerge, revealing a smoother, more refined complexion. For best results, 3 sessions are recommended. Results continue to improve for up to 12–16 weeks as deeper collagen remodelling takes place.

Fully ablative CO₂ lasers remove the entire surface layer of skin in one pass, which leads to longer downtime and higher risk.
Fractional eCO₂, by contrast, treats tiny sections of skin at a time, promoting deep collagen renewal while maintaining a faster and more comfortable recovery — without compromising on results.

Combining ASCE+ SRLV Exosomes with eCO₂ accelerates healing, reduces redness, and boosts collagen regeneration. Exosomes infuse billions of regenerative messengers into post-laser micro-channels, enhancing repair and reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Having a collagen biostimulator (like Sculptra® or Radiesse®) one to two months before eCO₂ helps rebuild your skin’s deep support structure. When followed by eCO₂ resurfacing, this pre-stimulation enhances tightening and produces more visible, long-lasting results.
