Treatment with the CO2 laser for facial skin resurfacing is performed using a topical local anaesthetic or numbing cream. For alternative ablative options and surgical interventions, a local anaesthetic injection can be used. Our selected surgeons are experts in pain management and will make sure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. For patients who prefer it, or are particularly sensitive to pain, ablative resurfacing and surgical interventions can also be performed under sedation or general anaesthesia.
