Full face, introductory $750

Every treatment starts with a consultation, so we only recommend what suits your skin.
We offer fractional CO2 laser resurfacing two ways: a traditional treatment for deeper renewal, and DEKA DOT Therapy CoolPeel™, a lighter option with much less downtime. Book a consultation and we will help you choose the one that suits your skin and your schedule.

Traditional Fractional CO2 Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 laser treats a fraction of the skin's surface at a time. The laser creates tiny treated zones and leaves the skin around them intact, which helps recovery. As the skin renews itself over the following weeks, texture, fine lines, acne scarring, uneven tone and sun damage can all look better.
What to expect: a consultation first, honest advice about downtime, and aftercare guidance to take home. Some redness and recovery time is normal. Results build gradually as the skin renews.
DEKA DOT Therapy CoolPeel™
CoolPeel™ gives you the benefits of fractional CO2 with far less downtime. It uses DEKA's SmartXide technology to treat the superficial layers of the skin with controlled energy, which supports the skin's own collagen production. Skin tends to look smoother and brighter within days. Every treatment is tailored to your skin and your goals.

Treatment time and downtime
Allow 60-75 minutes, which covers your consultation, numbing time and the treatment itself. Expect mild redness, warmth like a light sunburn, and dry or slightly rough skin for a few days. Most people are back to normal activities within 1-3 days, depending on how intensively we treat. Our day-by-day recovery timeline sets out each stage.
Recommended course
You will usually notice a difference after one session. For longer-lasting results we recommend a course of 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, so the collagen response has time to build.
Paying for your treatment
We accept cash, card, EFTPOS, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and Afterpay is available in clinic so you can split the cost into 4 interest-free payments. A course of CoolPeel or a full-face CO2 treatment is a real investment, and we would rather you spread it than choose a treatment that is not right for your skin. Mention it at your consultation and we will walk you through it.
