Fractional Laser

Fractional laser is a cosmetic treatment that uses a laser to target specific areas of the skin, creating tiny holes to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. This results in the production of new collagen and elastin, which can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and uneven skin tone.

The treatment involves using a handheld device that emits a beam of laser energy, which is fractionated into thousands of tiny columns. These columns penetrate the skin’s surface, leaving surrounding tissue intact, resulting in less downtime and quicker healing compared to traditional laser treatments.

Fractional laser can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms. The number of treatments required depends on the individual’s skin concerns, but typically, 3-5 sessions spaced several weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.

After the treatment, the skin may appear red and swollen, but this usually subsides within a few days. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and to use sunscreen regularly to protect the skin during the healing process.

Fractional laser is a safe and effective treatment that can help improve the appearance of the skin, giving it a more youthful and refreshed look. To determine if this treatment is right for you, it is important to consult with a licensed and experienced cosmetic provider.
