Fractional CO₂ Laser for Chest & Abdomen is a medical-grade skin resurfacing treatment that uses a carbon dioxide laser to create thousands of microscopic thermal columns deep into the skin. It targets stretch marks, surgical scars, pigmentation, and skin laxity across the chest and abdominal zones. The surrounding healthy tissue is left intact, triggering the body’s natural collagen rebuilding process for progressive, structural skin improvement.
Key Benefits
Rebuilds collagen from within
penetrates 300–1,500 microns deep to structurally repair stretch marks and scars, far beyond what any cream or peel can achieve.
Treats multiple concerns in one course
stretch marks, scars, pigmentation, laxity, and rough texture are all addressed simultaneously without separate procedures.
Non-surgical skin tightening
immediate collagen contraction combined with progressive neocollagenesis over 3–6 months delivers real, lasting firmness across the chest and abdomen.
Clinically proven results
FDA-recognised for scar and striae treatment, with peer-reviewed studies confirming significant improvement in stretch mark depth, surgical scar scores, and skin texture.
Long-lasting improvement
collagen remodelling results typically last 3–5 years with consistent sun protection and skin maintenance.
Customisable for body skin
density, energy, and depth are calibrated specifically for chest and abdominal skin — which heals differently and more slowly than the face.
Step-by-step Procedure
Consultation & Skin Mapping
Your dermatologist assesses the chest and abdominal skin, maps stretch mark distribution, scar type, and skin tone, then plans zone-specific laser settings accordingly.
Pre-Treatment Priming
A prescribed depigmenting regimen — hydroquinone, kojic acid, or niacinamide with SPF 50 — is applied daily to reduce PIH risk and prepare the skin for optimal healing.
Topical Anaesthesia
EMLA 5% numbing cream is applied under occlusion for 45–60 minutes across the full treatment area before the session begins.
Laser Delivery
The laser handpiece is passed methodically across the chest and abdomen, delivering fractional microscopic columns at calibrated settings per zone. The full session takes 30–75 minutes depending on the area covered.
Cooling & Aftercare
Chilled saline compresses and a medical-grade healing ointment are applied immediately. Written aftercare instructions are provided — covering moisturisation, sun protection, clothing, and product restrictions during the 10–14 day healing period.
