Fractional Non-Ablative Lasers

Fractional Non-Ablative Lasers

Cutting-edge lasers are used on all skin types in dermatology and aesthetic medicine to resurface the skin with minimal downtime.

About Fractional Non Ablative Lasers

Overview

Unlike traditional ablative lasers that remove the top layer of skin, fractional non-ablative lasers deliver precise columns of laser energy to deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface. This unique approach stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production and improving various skin concerns.

The term “fractional” refers to the fractionated delivery of laser energy, which means that only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, leaving surrounding areas untouched. This fractional treatment allows for faster healing and minimal downtime compared to ablative lasers.

Pros
  • Less invasive than traditional lasers or surgery.
  • Minimal downtime; resume daily activities soon after treatment.
  • Versatile treatment addressing multiple skin concerns.
  • Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin improvements.
  • Customizable treatments based on individual needs.
Cons
  • May require multiple sessions for optimal results.
  • Mild discomfort is possible during treatment, though numbing creams can help.
  • Results may vary depending on skin type, age, and concern addressed.
  • Not suitable for all skin types; consult a professional for safety.
What to Expect

Treatment requirements vary but typically involve three to six sessions spaced several weeks apart for healing and collagen remodeling. Your provider will determine the appropriate schedule.

Recovery

Minimal downtime with mild redness/swelling usually subsiding within two days. Some fractional lasers may induce redness and peeling lasting a week or more.
