WHAT IS FRACTIONAL SKIN RESURFACING TREATMENT?
Fractional skin resurfacing is a laser treatment that can be used to improve the appearance of many common skin conditions, including: sun damage, pigmentation, acne scarring, uneven texture, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin and enlarged pores. These concerns are commonly experienced as part of the ageing process, and can affect the skin on the face, neck, chest and hands.
Laser treatments are becoming very popular in the world of aesthetics, providing a quick, safe and effective solution with minimal downtime and sensitivity.
THE TREATMENT PROCESS
During the procedure a laser is passed over the area of concern, delivering many small spots of light energy to the skin. The light will turn to heat when it penetrates into the dermis which then spreads outwards through the tissues. The heat will work in a variety of ways throughout the complexion; breaking down unwanted cells, increasing collagen, tightening fibers and repairing any damaged cells.
AFTERCARE AND RESULTS
The results of fractional skin resurfacing will develop gradually as the skin works to repair itself and replenish old and unwanted skin cells from the superficial and middle layers. Within 3 – 6 months of the completed course a smoother, brighter complexion will emerge.
Looking after your skin for the next couple of weeks may need to be considered, which will involve using a high SPF and resisting the urge to pick at any flaking skin or crusts. Your practitioner will ensure all aftercare is fully explained before you leave the clinic.
Faqs
This procedure is suitable for many people who are looking to refresh their appearance. The condition of your skin will be thoroughly assessed during the pre-treatment consultation, along with your general health and medical history.
Fractional non-ablative lasers are safe to use on suitable candidates. They are designed to target the specific area, penetrating the skin and targeting the affected tissues without damaging the skin that surrounds it.
A fractional skin resurfacing treatment is not designed to cause significant pain or discomfort to the patient. Many people describe feeling a warming sensation as the laser is applied, which can feel soothing.
Side effects can include: redness, flaking skin, crusts or photosensitivity. Your practitioner will advise the best way to care for the skin in the weeks that follow so that the outcome is not affected. Any other complications / risks will be discussed at the consultation.
Your specific concerns will be assessed before The Facebible makes a recommendation as to how many treatment sessions will be needed. In most cases, a course of up to 4 treatments will produce the best results.
