Improve Hand Skin Tone, Texture, and Pigmentation with CO₂ Fractional Laser
While facial rejuvenation is widely sought after, the hands are one of the most visible and frequently overlooked areas when it comes to signs of ageing. Repeated sun exposure, environmental damage, and natural collagen loss contribute to age spots, skin thinning, and a crepey texture over time.
At our Perth clinic, Dr Nathan Stewart, Specialist Plastic Surgeon, offers advanced CO₂ fractional laser treatment for the hands. Using the AcuPulse™ CO₂ laser system, this treatment helps to visibly improve hand texture, tone and pigmentation—non-surgically and with long-lasting results.
CO₂ fractional laser is an ideal option for those seeking to address:
The goal of laser rejuvenation is not to change the appearance unnaturally but to restore a more refined and youthful skin quality, with smoother tone and improved resilience.
CO₂ fractional laser technology delivers microscopic columns of focused light into the skin’s surface. This stimulates a natural repair process, including:
Because the laser treats only small zones within the skin (fractional approach), healing occurs more rapidly than with traditional, fully ablative lasers.
The AcuPulse™ system used by Dr Nathan Stewart allows for precision control and customisation of energy depth and density—ideal for delicate areas like the hands where skin is thinner.
You’ll begin with a detailed consultation at our Perth clinic, where Dr Stewart will examine your hands, assess your concerns, and determine if CO₂ laser is the right option. We will also discuss your skin history, any sun exposure, and previous cosmetic treatments.
We provide a detailed aftercare plan and can recommend skincare options to support healing and longevity of results. Avoiding sun exposure post-treatment is essential.
We offer exosome therapy as a post-laser enhancement to support recovery and maximise skin regeneration. Applied directly after treatment, exosomes provide:
Exosomes are derived from stem cell signalling vesicles and represent a cutting-edge option to complement the natural regenerative response of laser treatments.
This treatment may be ideal if you:
Dr Stewart will assess your skin condition and discuss whether this approach—or an alternative treatment—would best support your goals. Not all patients are suitable candidates, especially those with certain skin types or sensitivities, and full disclosure of medical history is part of the consultation process.
Many people see noticeable improvement after a single session, especially in pigmentation and texture. However, depending on the degree of sun damage or skin thinning, a series of 1–3 treatments may be recommended over time to achieve and maintain optimal results.
Expect 5–7 days of redness, mild flaking and dryness. Full healing and visible improvement continue over several weeks.
Yes. CO₂ fractional laser is effective in reducing sunspots, age spots and other forms of pigmentation, especially from long-term sun exposure.
A topical anaesthetic cream is used beforehand. Most patients describe a warm, stinging sensation during treatment and some tightness or dryness for a few days afterwards.
Results are long-lasting and can remain visible for several years, especially when supported by good skincare and regular sun protection. Maintenance treatments every 12–24 months may enhance longevity.
Yes. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, CO₂ laser can improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of thinning or crepey skin over time.
