The essence of fractional laser therapy is that only selected areas of the damaged skin are treated. The treated skin area rapidly recovers with newer skin and healthy tissue. When therapy is done in fractions, this allows the skin to rapidly recover with little downtime. Further the side effects with this type of therapy are less and complications are very rare. In most cases, the old damaged skin is replaced by the new skin within a few days.

Fractional skin resurfacing has revolutionized skin care and is used to treat a number of skin conditions including:
 

  • fine lines and wrinkles

  • sun damaged skin

  • skin discolorations

  • melasma

  • acne scars

  • surgical or traumatic scars

  • "crepey" skin texture

  • loss of skin elasticity

  • stretch marks

Unlike other types of laser skin resurfacing, such as CO2 lasers that require significant downtime, fractional laser has no signifiant downtime. Because fractional laser therapy only treats part of the skin at one time, several treatments are required to treat the entire skin surface. Most individuals require anywhere from 4-6 sessions to treat the damaged skin.

The results of fractional laser skin resurfacing are not immediate but evidence of a smoother and tighter skin will be evident after 2 -3 sessions.

The final cosmetic benefits of this therapy are seen after 8-12 weeks.
