Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing in Horsham

Transform Reveal CO2™ is fractional CO2 laser resurfacing using the 3D Vjuve system. It creates microscopic treatment zones to trigger skin renewal and collagen remodelling, improving the look of acne scars, lines, pores and texture. At Transform Beauty in Horsham courses are commonly three to five sessions about four weeks apart, after a patch test. Downtime varies with intensity.

What Is Transform Reveal CO2?

Transform Reveal CO2 is a personalised skin-resurfacing treatment performed using the 3D Vjuve fractional CO2 laser system.

Fractional CO2 technology delivers controlled columns of laser energy into selected areas of the skin. Rather than treating every part of the surface, it creates microscopic treatment zones surrounded by areas of untreated skin.

This fractional approach is designed to initiate the skin’s natural repair response while allowing the surrounding tissue to support recovery.

As the skin renews, the treatment may help:

Fractional CO2 resurfacing is an ablative, non-surgical laser treatment. It is not non-invasive and does involve some downtime. Recovery and results depend on the settings used, the area treated, the client’s skin and the depth of the concern.

Quick Facts

What Can Fractional CO2 Laser Help Improve?

01

Acne scarring

Transform Reveal CO2 may help soften the appearance of certain indented or pitted acne scars by resurfacing uneven tissue and supporting gradual collagen remodelling. It does not treat active acne itself. Active breakouts and inflammation should normally be stabilised before resurfacing is considered.

02

Fine lines and crepey texture

The treatment can be used to improve the appearance of fine lines and rough or crepey-looking skin, particularly where loss of collagen has affected the skin’s smoothness and firmness.

03

Enlarged pores

Fractional resurfacing may help refine the appearance of enlarged pores by improving the surrounding skin texture and supporting collagen renewal.

04

Uneven skin texture

It can be particularly helpful where the skin feels rough, irregular or less smooth than it once did.

05

Sun-damaged and dull-looking skin

Treatment may help improve the appearance of uneven tone, superficial sun damage and a tired or weathered complexion. Any new, changing or suspicious pigmented lesion must be medically assessed rather than treated cosmetically.

06

Surgical and traumatic scars

Selected mature scars may respond to fractional resurfacing. Suitability will depend on the type, age, colour, location and behaviour of the scar.

07

Stretch marks

Fractional CO2 treatment may be considered for selected stretch marks on the body. Results vary, and treatment is designed to improve their appearance rather than erase them completely.

08

Mild loss of firmness

By supporting new collagen formation, fractional CO2 resurfacing may provide gradual improvement in skin firmness and quality. It is not a replacement for surgical lifting where significant skin laxity is present.

Treatment time: approximately 30–60 minutes.

Renew the Surface. Support Renewal Beneath It.

Ageing does not affect only one layer of the face.Over time, slower skin renewal, reduced collagen production, UV exposure, environmental damage and previous inflammation can all contribute to changes in texture, firmness and clarity.Fractional CO2 resurfacing works differently from a traditional facial. It creates a controlled skin-renewal response rather than simply treating the surface with topical products.Your treatment will be adjusted according to:

This personalisation is important. More intensive treatment is not automatically better treatment. Our aim is to select the most appropriate approach for your skin – not simply the strongest setting.

What Results Can I Expect?

Transform Reveal CO2 is intended to create progressive skin improvement rather than an artificial or over-treated appearance.

Depending on your concern, you may notice:

Some clients begin to notice improvement after approximately two weeks, while collagen-related changes may continue to develop over the following weeks and months.Scars and deeper texture concerns normally require patience and a planned course of treatment. Complete removal of scars, pores, wrinkles, pigmentation or stretch marks cannot be promised.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Many clients are advised to have a course of approximately three to five treatments, often spaced four or more weeks apart.

However, your recommendation may be different depending on:

Milder resurfacing may be delivered as a course of treatments. A more intensive treatment may require fewer sessions but involve a longer recovery. Your personalised plan will be confirmed after consultation.

Fractional CO2 Laser Recovery and Downtime

Is there any downtime?

Yes, there can be visible recovery following fractional CO2 laser treatment.

The level of downtime depends greatly on the energy used, the treatment area and your individual response.

Following a lighter treatment, you may experience pinkness and sensitivity for approximately 24-48 hours, followed by dryness or flaking. With stronger resurfacing, visible redness, swelling, bronzing, crusting or flaking may last several days or longer.

First 24-48 hours

Following days

You must not pick, peel or scratch the skin

Fractional CO2 Laser Aftercare

Your practitioner will provide instructions tailored to your treatment intensity. You may be advised to:

Use SPF 50 every day unless your practitioner advises otherwise.

Who Is Transform Reveal CO2 Suitable For?

It may be suitable for adults who want to improve:

It may be especially appropriate for people who have tried topical skincare or lighter treatments but need a more advanced resurfacing option. A consultation is always required.

Is Fractional CO2 Laser Suitable for Darker or Asian Skin?

Fractional CO2 laser is not automatically unsuitable for everyone with darker or melanin-rich skin. However, these skin types can have a greater risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or, more rarely, loss of pigment.

Suitability depends on several factors, including:

A conservative treatment approach, patch testing and appropriate preparation may be recommended. In some cases, an alternative such as microneedling, radiofrequency treatment, a peel or another form of laser may be safer.

We will never proceed simply because a treatment is popular. Your safety and long-term skin health come first.

Yes. 3D Vjuve is a professional fractional CO2 laser system used for facial and body skin-resurfacing treatments.

Fractional CO2 laser may improve selected pitted or indented acne scars by resurfacing uneven tissue and supporting collagen remodelling. It does not cure active acne, and complete scar removal cannot be guaranteed.

A numbing cream is normally applied before treatment. Most clients describe warmth, prickling or a tingling sensation. Comfort varies according to the area and treatment intensity.

Recovery varies. Lighter settings may cause pinkness for 24-48 hours followed by dryness or flaking. More intensive resurfacing can cause several days or longer of redness, swelling, bronzing, crusting or visible peeling.

Some clients notice a fresher appearance after approximately two weeks. Improvements in texture and firmness may continue over the following weeks and months as the skin renews.

Many clients benefit from a course of three to five treatments, but deeper scarring, treatment intensity and individual skin response will affect the recommendation.
