Fractional resurfacing is an advanced laser treatment designed to improve skin texture and appearance by targeting specific areas with controlled micro-injuries. This stimulates collagen production and accelerates the skin’s natural healing process, reducing wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and other imperfections—all with minimal downtime.
How It Works
- Fractional Technology: Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, which treats the entire skin surface, fractional resurfacing creates thousands of tiny micro-injuries while leaving portions of healthy skin untouched. This approach speeds up healing and reduces the risk of side effects such as scarring or hyperpigmentation.
- Laser Types: The treatment can be performed using different types of lasers:
- Fractional CO2 lasers: Penetrate deeper into the skin and are ideal for severe wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage.
- Fractional Erbium lasers: Target more superficial skin concerns like fine lines and mild wrinkles, offering quicker recovery.
- Healing Process: The micro-injuries heal quickly as the skin generates new collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Benefits of Fractional Resurfacing
