Arms
Fractional CO₂ Laser for Arms is a medical-grade resurfacing treatment that delivers thousands of precise microscopic laser columns into the skin of the upper and lower arms — targeting keratosis pilaris, stretch marks, rough texture, pigmentation, scars, and skin laxity. The surrounding healthy tissue remains intact, activating the body’s natural collagen regeneration process for smoother, firmer, and more even-toned arm skin. The arms are one of the most commonly undertreated body zones — yet one of the most visible in daily life.
Key Benefits
Clinically proven for keratosis pilaris
fractional CO₂ is one of the only treatments delivering significant, lasting improvement in arm KP — where topical creams and keratolytics consistently fall short.
Treats the full arm surface
upper arm, lower arm, inner arm, and elbow zones can all be addressed in a single session, ensuring uniform texture and tone improvement across the entire arm.
Deep structural repair
penetrates 300–1,200 microns into the dermis to physically rebuild collagen damaged by stretch marks, scars, and skin laxity — not just surface-level improvement.
Improves multiple concerns simultaneously
KP, pigmentation, rough texture, stretch marks, and loose skin are all addressed in one planned treatment course.
Non-surgical arm tightening
collagen stimulation provides a meaningful firming effect on crepey inner arm skin without surgery, anaesthesia, or significant recovery.
Long-lasting results
with elimination of triggering habits and consistent sun protection, improvements from fractional CO₂ on the arms typically last 2–4 years.
Step-by-step Procedure
Consultation & Assessment
Your dermatologist evaluates the full arm surface — identifying concern type, skin tone (Fitzpatrick classification), and zone-specific treatment priorities — then plans laser settings per area accordingly.
Pre-Treatment Priming
For pigmentation-dominant concerns or darker Indian skin tones, a depigmenting priming regimen — niacinamide, kojic acid, or hydroquinone with SPF 50 — is applied daily to minimise PIH risk during healing.
Topical Anaesthesia
EMLA 5% numbing cream is applied under occlusion across both arms for 45–60 minutes before the session to ensure complete comfort throughout treatment.
Laser Delivery
The laser handpiece is passed systematically across the arm surface — upper arm, inner arm, forearm, and elbow zones — with density and energy calibrated per area. A bilateral full-arm session typically takes 30–50 minutes.
Cooling & Aftercare
Chilled saline compresses and a medical-grade healing ointment are applied immediately post-procedure. Loose, breathable clothing must be worn during the 7–10 day healing period, and SPF 50 applied to the arms daily for a minimum of 4 weeks post-treatment.
