Ablative CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

Why Combine CO₂ Laser Resurfacing with Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery addresses deep structural changes associated with the ageing process  including sagging, jowling and loss of volume by repositioning the layers of the face into their previous, and more youthful position. However, surgery alone cannot target the quality of the skin itself, or address issues such as pigmentation. This is where precision CO₂ laser technology is able to deliver the most outstanding patient results – and where the combination of the two approaches creates the most stunning transformations.

When performed in tandem, ablative CO₂ laser resurfacing technology refines the skin at a cellular level, diminishing imperfections and resurfacing the outermost layers allowing the following to be addressed:

• Deep lines and wrinkles, including those around the mouth and eyes such as ‘crow’s feet’ and ‘smoker’s lines’
• Sun damage and age spots
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven texture and tone
• Skin laxity at a superficial level
• Scarring and other textural irregularities

By addressing both structural and surface-level signs of ageing, this winning combination delivers exceptional results that can only be achieved through the dual benefits of Dr Yannis’ skillful surgical techniques and the gold standard in laser resurfacing used at 111 Harley St.

Outstanding Results with Unified Downtime

One of the greatest advantages of combining CO₂ resurfacing with Facelift surgery is a single, and importantly, consolidated recovery period.

Instead of undergoing two separate procedures, and therefore two separate recovery periods, you will instead experience a recovery period with the support of our surgical team at every step of your journey. This approach is not only more convenient, but optimises healing and your overall final result. The final result will be a more comprehensive rejuvenation, tighter skin, a unified and more harmonious complexion and smoother skin texture.

Laser Technology That Transforms Skin

Our CO₂ laser system delivers fractional energy deep into the dermis, this not only promotes the production of collagen, but also precisely resurfaces the outer layers of the skin. Unlike superficial rejuvenation, the highly advanced treatment performed only by Plastic Surgeon, Dr Yannis, is a deep cellular renewal that will leave you looking and feeling your most confident.

The treatment is highly customisable ensuring the intensity is tailored to the desired outcome, your unique skin needs and treatment plan. This will be discussed in full at your consultation where Dr Yannis will create a plan to address your concerns for a stunning result. The outcome of this combination procedure is a dramatically smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin.

An Alternative with Less Downtime

For patients not undergoing Facelift surgery, or those seeking progressive skin refinement without the downtime of full resurfacing, we also have a 1570nm fractional laser treatment available as a course of sessions. This lighter, non-ablative option can be performed by our highly experienced Non-Surgical practitioners and is ideal for improving skin tone and texture over time.
