At Northmead Medical Centre, we offer Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing as a part of pre-skin cancer treatment. This advanced technology helps remove sun-damaged cells, treat precancerous lesions such as actinic keratoses, and improve skin health to lower the risk of future skin cancers.

How Fractional CO₂ Laser Helps in Pre-Skin Cancer Care

Actinic Keratoses (AKs): These sun-damaged patches can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if untreated. Laser therapy helps clear them before they progress.
Field Cancerisation: Areas of skin with multiple precancerous changes can be treated at once, reducing long-term cancer risk.
Scar Improvement: After surgical excision of skin cancers, fractional CO₂ laser can improve scar texture and appearance.

⚠️ Important: Fractional CO₂ laser is not used to treat active skin cancers. Any suspicious spots will be checked first, and biopsy or excision arranged if needed.

Recovery and Aftercare

Downtime: Redness, swelling, and peeling usually last 5–14 days.
Healing: Fresh new skin appears within 2 -3 weeks.
Aftercare:
- Use a soothing moisturiser and sunscreen (SPF 50+ daily).
- Avoid direct sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and swimming until healed.
- Do not pick or scratch the treated skin.
