CO2 Acne Treatment in Accra
Laser therapy targeting active acne and the scarring it leaves behind.
CO2 laser acne treatment targets active breakouts and acne scars with the same technology — destroying acne-causing bacteria, shrinking oil-gland activity and resurfacing scarred texture.
Who is it for?
Persistent or cystic acne that has out-lasted skincare, and the pitted acne scars left by past breakouts. For active acne we may first calm the skin with facials and peels so the laser works on receptive skin.
What happens at your appointment?
Targeted fractional passes over affected zones after numbing. Expect several days of redness; breakouts often purge briefly before the skin clears and smooths across the following weeks.
Is it safe on dark skin?
With adapted settings and proper preparation, yes — this is exactly the kind of treatment where practitioner experience with melanin-rich skin is non-negotiable.

About AmandaCO2 Acne Treatment — frequently asked questions
How does CO2 laser treat acne and acne scars?
It works on both at once — targeting the bacteria and overactive oil glands behind active breakouts, while resurfacing and rebuilding the pitted, uneven texture that acne scars leave behind.
How much does CO2 acne treatment cost?
It is priced From GHS 4,000 per session. The number of sessions depends on how active the acne is and how deep the scarring runs, which we assess at consultation.
What is the downtime?
Expect several days of redness and flaking. Active breakouts sometimes purge briefly before the skin settles, then clears and smooths over the following weeks.
Does it treat active acne or only the scars?
Both. For very active, inflamed acne we may first calm the skin with facials and peels so the laser works on receptive skin and delivers the best, safest result.
Is it safe on dark skin?
With adapted settings and thorough preparation, yes — but acne-prone melanin-rich skin scars and pigments easily, so practitioner experience is critical. This is core to Amanda’s specialty.
How many sessions will I need?
Scarring typically improves over a short series of sessions; you will see progressive smoothing with each one, and we will set a realistic plan upfront.
