About

Fractional resurfacing is a dermatological procedure used to reduce the appearance of scars and improve skin texture. Here's a short description of how it works:

Consultation: The process begins with a consultation with a dermatologist or skincare professional who assesses the type, size, and location of the scar and discusses your treatment goals.
Preparation: Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort during treatment.
Fractional Resurfacing: Fractional laser technology is employed to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process is precise and targets the scar tissue while leaving surrounding skin intact. There are two main types of fractional lasers: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative lasers remove outer skin layers, while non-ablative lasers work beneath the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production.
Collagen Stimulation: The controlled micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen production. Collagen is essential for skin elasticity and smoothness, and its production helps reduce the visibility of scars.
Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you may experience redness, swelling, and some mild discomfort, similar to a sunburn. Following specific aftercare instructions is crucial to optimize healing and minimize any potential side effects.
Multiple Sessions: A series of fractional resurfacing sessions is often recommended, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the best results. The number of sessions required depends on the scar's type, size, and your individual skin response.

Fractional resurfacing is effective for various types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and age-related scars. It can significantly improve skin texture, reduce scar visibility, and enhance overall skin quality. The procedure is typically safe when performed by experienced professionals and offers a valuable option for scar reduction and skin rejuvenation.

Skin Renewal and Rejuvenation

Fractional resurfacing stimulates the production of collagen and promotes skin cell turnover. This leads to a renewal of the skin's surface, improving texture, reducing fine lines, and giving the skin a more youthful and vibrant appearance.

Targeted Treatment

Fractional resurfacing is highly customizable, allowing for precise targeting of specific areas of concern. Whether you're looking to address fine lines, wrinkles, scars, or uneven pigmentation, this procedure can be tailored to your unique skin needs.

Minimized Downtime

Compared to traditional ablative laser treatments, fractional resurfacing often involves less downtime. The fractional approach treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding areas untouched. This results in faster healing and a quicker return to normal activities.

Versatility Across Skin Types

Fractional resurfacing is suitable for various skin types and tones. The technology is designed to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation or other side effects commonly associated with some laser treatments, making it a versatile option for a broad range of individuals.

"Elizabeth has changed my life for the better! I had a lot of hair as a woman which plagued me from the age of 11. Never would I have thought I’d go a day without shaving my face but here I am! I haven’t had to shave in months!"
