What is Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Fractional laser skin resurfacing uses state-of-the-art laser technology to revitalize the skin’s appearance and health. This resurfacing technique delivers tiny columns of concentrated light into the outer (epidermis) and middle (dermis) layers of the skin, creating minor heat damage that stimulates the body’s natural self-repair process. As a result, the treatment promotes collagen production and the regeneration of new, healthy skin cells to address various skin concerns.

What are the Benefits of Using a Fractional Laser?

“Fractional” refers to the fact that only a fraction of the skin’s surface is treated by the laser at one time. The laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones, leaving areas of healthy skin between the treatment zones untouched.

A fractional laser can offer significant advantages over fully ablative lasers that resurface the entire area, including:

  • Less discomfort during treatment
  • More rapid healing
  • Reduced downtime
  • Lower risk of side effects

What Concerns Can Be Treated with the Fractional Laser?

Our technology can be used on the face, neck, chest, arms and legs for the treatment of:

  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Acne and surgical scars
  • Sun damage
  • Melasma and other forms of skin discoloration
  • Enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks
  • Textural irregularities

Who is a Candidate for Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Fractional laser skin resurfacing is suitable for our clients who wish to restore a more youthful appearance and radiance to their complexion. The fractional laser can improve a variety of skin concerns for those with fair to olive skin tones.

For patients who desire noticeable enhancement but don’t yet require or want the more intense treatment of fully ablative lasers, fractional resurfacing offers an appealing middle ground. It can also be a good option for those unable to undergo extended downtime, such as busy professionals or parents, as the fractional treatment pattern allows for a faster healing process.

The Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment

Preparation

To prepare your skin for laser resurfacing, avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure for four weeks pre-treatment. Avoid other intense skin treatments, such as strong chemical peels or dermabrasion, for a similar period. Do not use medications or skincare products that may cause photosensitivity for at least 72 hours prior to treatment. Arrive at your appointment with clean skin free of lotions, makeup or sunscreen.

Procedure

You will recline on a treatment bed as your clinician carefully passes the handpiece across your skin. The number of passes needed depends on the extent of your skin concerns; some areas may receive more than others. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the body region(s) treated. Your clinician will ensure your comfort throughout your laser skin resurfacing session.

Recovery

Recovery from fractional laser skin rejuvenation is significantly faster than with ablative lasers. A light treatment can have a recovery time of only one to two days, while a more intense treatment may require three to five days of downtime. Redness and swelling are common, and your skin may crust or peel as it renews itself. Strict sun protection is crucial for optimal healing and outcomes.

Results

You may notice improvements in your skin almost immediately after the initial healing phase. However, your body continues repairing itself and generating new collagen for six to 12 months post-treatment, yielding ongoing improvements in texture and complexion. Follow-up sessions may further enhance and sustain the results of your treatment.
