Many signs of aging can be effectively treated with one of the two fractional technologies. The range of treatments vary in aggressiveness, downtime, and results. The most aggressive treatment, CO2 fractional, can produce dramatic improvement for severely damaged skin with a single treatment procedure, but will require more downtime and after treatment wound care.
The less aggressive non-ablative fractional treatment can produce significant results for mild to moderately damaged skin over the course of several treatments with little to no downtime or wound care required.

How Non-Ablative Fractional Skin Resurfacing Work?The non-ablative fractional laser is a multi-purpose skin rejuvenation laser that offers the power and precision to alter the skin—from non-surgical skin resurfacing to effective tattoo removal. The goal is to produce sufficient energy (heat) to penetrate the skin and absorb the target. What Can It Do To Improve My Skin?Treatments include common problems such as fine blood vessels that cause skin redness, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, excess pigment (such as brown spots), enlarged pores and skin texture. It can also remove most tattoo colors, usually over a series of treatments. (Visit our Tattoo Removal page for more information) What Is A Laser Peel?Your doctor may recommend a Laser Peel to improve the overall quality of your complexion. First a topical lotion is applied to the face, followed by the laser, to stimulate skin cells and begin the process of exfoliation. To optimize the results, a series of treatments (average is 3) are recommended to reduce oil production, enlarged pores, improve skin tone, reduce fine lines and generate new collagen. How Many Treatments Will I Need To See An Improvement?The number of treatments will depend on the specific problem you’re addressing. For example, if you have broken facial blood vessels around your nose, one or two treatments would be likely. If you have advanced sun damage with multiple issues such as pigment, it could be more. Your doctor will assess and advise on the optimal treatment program for you. Are Treatments Uncomfortable?The area of the face or body that is treated often dictates how the treatment feels. Patients often describe the feeling as intense warmth or a brief snap or sting. Sometimes the doctor will prescribe a topical anesthetic to numb the area prior to treatment. Don’t hesitate to share your apprehensions about discomfort prior to treatment. |
