CO2 Laser Treatment in Cardiff & Shrewsbury

The CO2 fractional laser is one of the most advanced and effective methods for skin rejuvenation. At Joanna Graff Aesthetics, we provide tailored CO2 laser treatment in Cardiff and Shrewsbury to help reduce wrinkles, smooth uneven skin, and improve overall skin tone and texture — all with clinically proven results.

What is CO2 Fractional Laser?

Also known as fractional ablative laser, this treatment targets both surface and deeper layers of the skin. It delivers micro-beams of light that create controlled micro-injuries, prompting the body to naturally stimulate collagen production and accelerate skin healing.

What it treats:

Fine lines and deeper wrinkles
Acne scars and pigmentation
Loose, sagging skin
Stretch marks
Sun damage and age spots

This makes it a powerful option for clients seeking anti-ageing laser treatments in Cardiff or skin resurfacing in Shrewsbury.

How Does It Work?

Aged skin loses elasticity due to a breakdown in collagen. Using the Fraxcell CO2 fractional laser, we treat the outer layers of the skin to:

Stimulate new collagen growth
Tighten skin fibres
Improve skin tone and firmness

A numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before the session to minimise discomfort. Most clients describe the treatment as tolerable, with minimal downtime compared to traditional laser resurfacing.

What Can I Expect After Treatment?

Once your skin begins to heal, you’ll notice:

Shallower wrinkles and softened grooves
Improved skin texture and tone
Enhanced facial contour and lift
Reduction in scars and stretch marks

The typical downtime ranges from 3 to 10 days, depending on your skin and the intensity of treatment. You may experience redness and visible micro-patterns on the skin during this period.

Who Is It For?

The CO2 laser is suitable for anyone noticing early to advanced signs of ageing. Collagen production starts to decline around age 25, so it’s ideal to begin treatments in your 30s or earlier if needed. Whether you’re targeting fine lines or deeper scars, the CO2 facial in Shrewsbury or laser skin rejuvenation in Cardiff can be an effective long-term solution.
