The AcuPulse CO2 Laser is a medical-grade, fractional CO2 laser treatment offered at Advanced Cosmetic Medicine, a specialised, non-surgical procedure classified as a higher-risk cosmetic procedure

Understanding the Treatment

The AcuPulse CO2 Laser works by delivering targeted, powerful energy pulses to the skin using a SuperPulse fractional system. This process creates precise micro-channels in the treatment area, encouraging the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen production deep within the dermis. The fractional approach treats only a portion of the skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact, which is intended to promote faster healing compared to older, fully ablative techniques. The objective of the treatment is an improved appearance, designed to address specific, stubborn skin concerns, including moderate to severe lines (wrinkles) and certain types of scarring (e.g., acne scars).

Important Information on Risks and Recovery

This is a higher-risk non-surgical procedure that requires careful consideration. The final clinical outcome, including the degree of collagen remodelling, is individual and cannot be guaranteed. Results will vary between individuals. With recovery, patients must be prepared for a period of visible downtime as the skin heals, which varies based on the depth and extent of the treatment. Lighter passes will typically involve a few days of redness and peeling, while deeper resurfacing can require up to two weeks of visible downtime, followed by a gradual settling of redness over the following months as collagen remodels. All specific risks and potential complications associated with this procedure will be discussed in detail during the mandatory, comprehensive consultation.

Suitability and Professional Standards

This treatment is suitable for individuals seeking long-term improvement in their skin who have concerns that have not responded adequately to other, less intensive treatments. As a regulated health service, all procedures are overseen by the team of highly trained professionals at Advanced CosmeticMedicine, led by Dr. Rahma Targett (Registered Medical Practitioner, GeneralRegistration, AHPRA: MED0000989687).

To discuss your suitability and the risks associated with this higher-risk non-surgical procedure, please book a mandatory, comprehensive consultation.
