What is Fractional Laser Therapy?
Fractional Laser therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses laser technology to target skin imperfections and signs of aging. The laser creates tiny microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response and promoting collagen production. Fractional Laser therapy can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. The treatment is painless and requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for those looking to improve their skin health and appearance.
How does Fractional Laser Therapy work?
Fractional Laser therapy works by using a laser to create microscopic channels in the skin. The channels are surrounded by healthy tissue, which promotes faster healing and collagen production. The treatment is non-invasive and typically painless, with most patients describing it as feeling like a mild heat sensation on the skin. The length of treatment depends on the area being treated, but it typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour.
What can Fractional Laser Therapy treat?
Fractional Laser therapy can be used to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. The treatment is particularly effective at targeting areas of the skin that are heavily pigmented or damaged. However, Fractional Laser therapy is not suitable for everyone, and there are certain skin conditions and types that may not respond well to the treatment. It's important to consult with a qualified skincare professional to determine if Fractional Laser therapy is right for you.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of Fractional Laser treatments needed to achieve desired results depends on the specific skin condition being treated and the severity of the condition. In most cases, a series of 3-5 treatments is recommended, spaced about 2-4 weeks apart. The results of Fractional Laser therapy are gradual, with most patients seeing a noticeable improvement in their skin within a few weeks of their first treatment.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from Fractional Laser therapy is typically quick and painless, with most patients able to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. Patients may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a day after treatment. Aftercare instructions will be provided by your skincare professional, but it's important to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect the skin from further damage.
