Whether you’re dealing with stretch marks, scars, sun damage, or loose, aging skin, CO₂ laser therapy offers one of the most powerful solutions in non-surgical skin rejuvenation. At Zeal Clinic, we use fractional CO₂ laser technology to resurface the skin, stimulate collagen, and improve texture and tone especially on challenging areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and décolleté.
Fractional CO₂ laser is a state-of-the-art technology that uses carbon dioxide light energy to precisely remove damaged outer skin layers, while stimulating deep collagen remodeling in the dermis. The result? Dramatically improved skin quality, tightness, and texture in a way that no topical or surface treatment can achieve.
What CO₂ Laser can improve:
Stretch marks (white or red) on the abdomen, hips, or thighs
Surgical or traumatic scars on any body area
Loose, crepey skin (especially post-weight loss or pregnancy)
Sun damage or hyperpigmentation on the chest, shoulders, or arms
Wrinkles and textural irregularities on the hands or décolleté
Enlarged pores or rough skin texture
You may be a good candidate if you:
Have visible skin texture or scarring concerns
Want to tighten loose skin or reduce stretch marks
Are looking for non-surgical solutions to skin rejuvenation
Can tolerate a few days of downtime for long-term gain
Are not actively tanned, pregnant, or taking photosensitizing medication
