What Is a Fractional Laser Treatment?

A fractional laser is an advanced skin-resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness by stimulating the body’s natural healing process.

Instead of treating the entire surface of the skin, a fractional laser delivers energy in thousands of tiny, controlled micro-columns. These microscopic treatment zones penetrate the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This allows the skin to heal faster than fully ablative making it an excellent option for patients seeking smoother, firmer, healthy looking skin.

How Does Fractional Laser Work?

The laser creates precise micro-injuries deep within the skin, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin — the key building blocks responsible for smooth, firm, youthful-looking skin.

Fractional laser treatments are highly versatile and can be used to improve:

  • Fine lines
  • Acne scaring
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
  • Skin laxity and overall skin quality

A consultation/test patch is required before proceeding with this treatment.
