What is Fractional Resurfacing Laser Used For?
Fractional (Fractionated) resurfacing technology is used primarily
for:
Skin Rejuvenation and Removal of Photodamage: reduces fine lines and
wrinkles, improves skin pigmentation and texture.
Acne Scaring
Brown Spot, Sun Spot, Age Spots, A.K.A.
Liver Spot Removal
What is fractional resurfacing?
Fractional resurfacing is the cutting edge skin resurfacing
technology in which the laser makes multiple precise tiny holes
called Micro Thermal Zones (MTZ) in your skin. Because the MTZ are
so close to one another , the body’s natural healing process repairs
not just the holes but the entire treatment area. And because
healthy untreated skin surrounds each of the MTZ, recovery is
markedly faster than with traditional laser resurfacing allowing you
to resume your normal activities with limited downtime.
Why is the advantage of using fractional CO2 Compared to other
Fractional lasers such as Fraxel?
For 20 years, CO2 lasers have been the gold-standard for the
treatment of photodamage and for skin rejuvenation because they not
only remove the outer skin layers but also heat the underlying
tissues. This heating that occurs with the CO2 laser stimulates new
collagen production and collagen remodeling which improves the tone
and texture of your skin over time. Fractionated CO2 technology
allows the removal only a fraction the outer skin layer in the
treatment area allowing dramatically reduced recovery times while
maintaining the benefits of CO2 resurfacing.
What Can I Expect With the Procedure?
Perception of discomfort varies greatly from one person to another.
A local anesthetic is used to numb the area and most tolerate the
procedure with minimal if any discomfort.
What Can I expect after treatment?
After treatment your skin will usually be red for up to 4 days. At
this point you may wear make-up and return to work. Over the next
day or so, your skin will appear slightly bronze as the surface
exfoliates.
How many treatments will I need?
Unlike Fraxel technology, skin rejuvenation with fractional CO2
usually requires just 1 treatment . Patients with Acne Scarring
usually require a second treatment in order to achieve optimal
results.
