Fractional Laser
ABOUT:
Fractional Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, scarring and visible signs of ageing. Instead of treating the entire surface of the skin uniformly, fractional technology creates microscopic treatment zones within the skin while leaving surrounding areas intact.
This controlled approach encourages the skin's natural repair process and collagen remodelling, helping to gradually improve the appearance and texture of the treated area.
What Can Fractional Laser Help With?
Fractional Laser may be used to address:
-
Acne scars
-
Enlarged pores
-
Uneven skin texture
-
Fine lines
-
Skin roughness
-
Certain pigmentation concerns
-
Post-acne marks
-
Mild textural irregularities
-
Overall skin rejuvenation
How Does It Work?
The laser creates precisely controlled microscopic treatment columns within the skin. These tiny zones trigger a natural wound-healing response, encouraging collagen remodelling and the formation of new skin tissue.
As the skin regenerates, existing irregularities can gradually become less noticeable, while the overall surface may appear smoother, firmer and more refined.
Why Fractional Treatment?
The fractional approach treats only a fraction of the skin at a time rather than creating continuous resurfacing across the entire treatment area. The surrounding untreated skin can support the recovery process. Treatment intensity can also be adjusted. A lighter approach may be used for general texture refinement, while more intensive settings may be considered for concerns such as deeper acne scarring, subject to professional assessment.
The Fractional Laser Experience
Treatment sensation varies according to the laser, settings and treatment area. Topical numbing may be used for certain treatment protocols to improve comfort. Following treatment, the skin may appear red and feel warm or sensitive. Depending on the intensity, mild swelling, dryness, flaking or a sandpaper-like texture may occur during the recovery period.
Downtime varies significantly according to the treatment settings and individual skin response. Proper aftercare and diligent sun protection are important following treatment.
Results & Treatment Plan
Fractional Laser works through a gradual remodelling process rather than an instant change. As the skin repairs and collagen continues to remodel, improvements in texture, smoothness and the appearance of scars may become more noticeable.
The number of sessions required depends on the concern being treated, its severity and the treatment intensity selected. A personalised treatment plan will be recommended following skin assessment.
