Who this page is for
Fractional CO2 is one of the stronger tools in resurfacing — which is exactly why suitability and downtime deserve an honest conversation first. Your doctor will assess your scars and skin before recommending it, or steer you to a gentler option if that serves you better.
Rolling or boxcar acne scars
Textural scarring left after acne has settled — the scar type and depth decide whether CO2 is the right tool.
Uneven texture and enlarged pores
Skin that looks rough or coarse under light, where surface-level treatments have plateaued.
Fine lines from sun damage
Etched-in fine lines and weathered texture that respond to controlled resurfacing.
Weighing CO2 against gentler options
You want a clinical comparison of CO2, RF microneedling and subcision — including which downtime you are actually signing up for.
— What this involves
What fractional CO2 treatment involves
Fractional CO2 laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment columns in the skin, removing damaged tissue and triggering a strong collagen-remodelling response, while the untreated skin between columns speeds healing. It is one of the better-studied options for atrophic acne scars and textural ageing.
The honest part first: CO2 has real downtime. Expect several days of redness, swelling and micro-crusting, then a further period where new skin looks pink. In darker skin tones there is a genuine risk of temporary post-inflammatory pigmentation, which is managed with careful settings, preparation and strict sun protection — another reason this is a doctor-performed treatment.
A session involves numbing cream, the laser pass itself (typically 15–30 minutes), and cooling. Your doctor will map your scar types first — some scars respond better to subcision or fillers, and mixed scarring often needs a sequenced plan rather than one machine.
What determines the price? The area treated, the depth and density of the protocol, and the number of sessions your scarring requires. You receive a personalised, written quote after consultation at our Tanjong Pagar or East Coast clinic — with no obligation to proceed.

Common questions
Plan for several days of visible recovery — redness, swelling and fine crusting — followed by a pink phase as new skin matures. The exact timeline depends on the depth and density of your protocol. Your doctor will walk you through the day-by-day picture at consultation so you can plan work and social commitments realistically.
Most scar remodelling plans involve a series of sessions spaced roughly one to two months apart, and improvement is gradual — collagen keeps remodelling for months after each session. The honest expectation is meaningful improvement, not erasure; your doctor will show you what is realistic for your scar pattern.
We do not publish prices because the protocol — area, depth, density and session count — differs by patient. You will receive a personalised, written quote after your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
It can be, with the right preparation, conservative settings and strict sun protection — but the post-inflammatory pigmentation risk is real and needs to be managed, not dismissed. In some skin types your doctor may recommend a gentler tool instead. That judgement is exactly what the consultation is for.
