Fractional Laser is a solution for achieving excellent resurfacing results with minimal downtime. Unlike full field resurfacing which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, Fractional Laser ablates narrow-diameter channels into the skin, covering a fraction of the total treatment area. This action initiates the body’s wound healing response, while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing. The benefits of Fractional Laser include increased patient comfort, shorter healing times, and tunable results that can range from subtle to dramatic.
Fractional Laser creates clean, micro-ablated channels in the skin, which activate fibroblast production. The result is increased turgor and thickness to the skin. Leaving surrounding tissue intact helps promote rapid healing due to presence of stem cells and melanocytes in the papillary dermis.
What truly sets Fractional Laser apart is TRL technology, which gives the user the ability to adjust the depth of ablation and coagulation independently. By modulating the laser’s energy to deliver supra-ablative pulses, Fractional Laser is able to vaporize any depth of tissue.
Fractional Laser Combination treatments
Fractional Laser works very well as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with other treatments. Some examples of combination therapies include:
Laser Peel + Fractional Laser – Start with a LaserPeel for full field treatment to remove superficial irregularities followed by Fractional Laserto stimulate collagen remodeling through deep fractional ablation.
BBL™ + Fractional Laser – Start with Laser BBL for full field treatment to remove pigmented lesions followed by Fractional Laser.
