Are you looking for a way to rejuvenate your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and signs of aging? Fractional laser treatment offers a non-invasive solution to restore youthful skin and boost your confidence.
How it works
Fractional laser treatment uses cutting-edge technology to deliver laser energy to the skin, divided into thousands of microscopic treatment zones. This method targets a fraction of the skin at a time, resulting in a revitalized and refreshed appearance. With both ablative and non-ablative options, this treatment is customizable to suit each individual's specific needs and goals.
Ablative laser treatments use laser energy to remove the top layer of skin, revealing smoother and more even skin underneath. These treatments can help to reduce roughness, scarring, and uneven skin tone, but do require a longer recovery period.
Non-ablative laser treatments, on the other hand, use heat to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. These treatments are gentler with little to no downtime and can provide subtle but noticeable improvements to the skin's appearance.
In a few weeks, the results of fractional laser treatment will be fully evident. Your skin will be smoother and fuller, with a more even texture. These results are cumulative with each treatment session.
At Lumos Dermatology®, we offer the non-ablative Icon Fractional Laser by Palomar as well as the ablative Syneron-Candela CO2RE fractional laser for more intensive treatments. Our board-certified dermatologists have the expertise and training to help you decide on the treatment option for optimal results for your individual needs.
Treatment and Recovery process
The treatment process is relatively simple and usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes. During the procedure, your dermatologist will use the laser device to target specific areas of the skin, and you may experience a warm or tingling sensation.
After fractional laser treatment, most patients experience only minimal discomfort and can return to their daily activities after a non-ablative treatment. However, some downtime may be required after an ablative laser skin resurfacing. To achieve the best results, it is important to avoid sun exposure, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, and avoid picking or scratching the treated areas.
