What is Fractional Laser Treatment?

Fractional laser resurfacing is a non-invasive, non-ablative laser treatment that stimulates natural collagen to improve fine lines and wrinkles, scaring, acne, and stretch marks while improving overall skin tone and texture. This process is normally called laser resurfacing. It can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, increasing skin firmness and effectively treating skin laxity. It is also an effective option for acne scars, sun damaged skin, uneven skin tone, and more.

How Does Fractional Laser Treatment Work?

During fractional laser treatment, hundreds of laser energy beams create deep micro-columns of thermal tissue damage, causing a controlled wound. Trauma to the skin is what creates natural new collagen. Fractionated lasers leave small gaps of untreated skin throughout the treated area (as the name suggests, they treat only a fraction of the skin) in order to increase collagen production. When injured tissue is surrounded with healthy tissue, it heals faster with minimal downtime or complications. The result of multiple treatments is healthy new skin.

Are There Any Restrictions on My Activity After Laser Treatments?

After treatment, the skin looks and feels sunburned, experiencing redness and puffiness for about 48 hours. You will need to wear protective clothing and sunscreen, and limit sun exposure for a few days afterward. There may be minor peeling after treatment as the top layer of skin flakes off and reveals healthy skin underneath.

How Many Laser Treatments Are Recommended?

Treatments are more effective if done in a series of sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Natural collagen growth takes several weeks and months after treatment. Some patients may see the desired results after only one or two treatments.

Can It Be Part of a Combination Therapy?

Yes, patients may choose to have a fractional treatment followed by separate visits for Genesis, Titan, chemical peels, or injectables. We will customize an appropriate treatment plan for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is fractional laser resurfacing?

Fractional laser resurfacing is a non-invasive procedure that uses laser technology to treat skin imperfections by creating microscopic columns of treated tissue, promoting collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
How does Fractional laser work?

The laser delivers energy in a fractional pattern, targeting specific areas of the skin to stimulate healing and collagen formation, improving skin texture and tone.
What skin concerns can fractional laser treat?

It effectively addresses acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores.
Is the treatment painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to enhance comfort.

How should I care for my skin post-treatment?

Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions, which may include moisturizing, avoiding sun exposure, and using gentle skincare products.
When will I see results?

Initial improvements can be seen within a few weeks, with optimal results developing over 3 to 6 months as collagen production increases.
Are there any side effects?

Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and peeling. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified professional.
Who should avoid fractional laser treatment?

Individuals with certain skin conditions, active infections, or those who are pregnant should consult with a provider before undergoing treatment.
Is it safe for all skin types?

Fractional laser is suitable for most skin types, but a consultation is necessary to determine the best approach for your specific skin concerns.

Can fractional laser be combined with other treatments?

Often, fractional laser can be combined with other procedures for enhanced results. Discuss your options with your provider to determine the best approach.

How Does Fractional Laser Compare to Other Treatments?

A fractional laser treatment combines the effectiveness of the traditional CO2 (carbon dioxide) ablative fractional laser with the downtime of non-ablative lasers such as IPL, delivering powerful results without the traditionally harsh side effects. This allows much faster healing time than that of a more aggressive CO2 laser. Fractional lasers are not associated with the increased risk of loss of pigment or scarring that can occur with CO2 laser treatment.

Who is a Good Candidate for Fractional Laser Treatment?

Patients with wrinkles and mild to moderate sun damage are good candidates, as well as most skin tones. Darker skin may require a different approach to treatment. It is also safe for most skin types, but our experienced laser technicians will determine whether laser skin resurfacing is best for your goals.
