Advanced CO2 Laser Resurfacing –
The Ultimate in Precision for Complex Skin Concerns
At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we use the Lumenis UltraPulse CO2 laser for high-impact skin resurfacing, deep scar revision, and advanced rejuvenation. This is one of the most powerful lasers available and a key pillar in Dr Shobhan Manoharan’s pioneering ’10-Year Flashback ™’ protocol, designed to deliver transformative skin rejuvenation with real, long-term results.
This ablative laser delivers exceptional tissue remodelling by vaporising damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen renewal.
The Lumenis CO2 system allows us to customise treatment depth and density for each patient, making it suitable for everything from etched lines to surgical scars and severe textural damage delivering transformative results with expert care.

How We Use the
Lumenis CO2 Laser in Our Clinics
At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we customise CO2 protocols based on skin concern, recovery capacity, and anatomical area. With advanced safety measures and a layered resurfacing approach, we treat:
Full-Face Rejuvenation
Smoothing fine to deep lines, refining pores, and improving skin firmness in one high impact treatment.
Acne Scar Revision
Combining CO2 laser with subcision, TCA CROSS, or volume replacement of scars to rebuild scarred tissue.
Surgical & Burn Scar Remodelling
Flattening and blending long-standing scars with fractional or fully ablative passes.
Periorbital & Perioral Resurfacing
Targeting static lines around the mouth and eyes using precision contouring.
Combination Treatments
Integrating CO2 with Erbium:YAG, vascular lasers, or RF skin tightening for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Custom Downtime Plans
We work with your schedule to determine the ideal intensity from light weekend peels to deep single-session resurfacing.
Why Practitioner Experience Matters
Laser resurfacing, especially with powerful devices like the Lumenis CO2 is both an art and a science. The precision required to safely remove damaged skin while preserving healthy tissue demands not only state-of-the-art technology but also expert hands.
With over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr Manoharan has pioneered combination laser protocols like the ‘Ten Year Flashback’ and has trained hundreds of dermatologists, nurses, and dermal clinicians in laser safety and resurfacing techniques.
When you choose us, you’re not just getting a treatment you’re placing your skin in the care of a nationally recognised leader in laser dermatology.
What To Expect
At Dermatology Clinics Australia, your comfort, safety, and results are our priority. Here’s what to expect with CO2 laser resurfacing:
Pre-Treatment:
– You will begin with a full consultation where we assess your skin, discuss treatment goals, and develop a personalised resurfacing plan.
– We will advise on pre-treatment skincare to minimise risk and enhance results typically discontinuing active products and ensuring adequate sun protection.
During Treatment:
– Depending on treatment depth, your session may take 30–90 minutes.
– A topical anaesthetic is applied, and deeper procedures may require local anaesthetic or sedation.
– You may feel heat or tingling as the laser ablates the skin. Our team monitors comfort continuously.
Post-Treatment:
– Expect redness, swelling, and a “sunburn” sensation for 5–10 days.
– For deeper resurfacing, the skin may crust or flake as it heals.
– We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including barrier-repair creams, SPF, and follow-up appointments.
– Most patients see visible improvements within 2 weeks, with continued skin refinement over 1–3 months.
