Fractional laser skin rejuvenation treatment on forehead

A Patient’s Guide to Fractional Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Treatments like fractional laser skin rejuvenation encourage more production of new collagen and elastin, which are key components of the skin’s structure. This treatment uses focused light energy to address skin concerns and creates microscopic treatment zones within the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.

How the Treatment Works

The fractional laser targets both the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. This approach helps to support skin integrity over time. Areas commonly addressed include:

  1. Overall skin texture and tone
  2. The appearance of fine lines
  3. Pigmentation and sun damage
  4. The appearance of acne and surgical scars

What to Consider After Treatment

Following the procedure, there is a period of recovery. The healing process is integral to the treatment, and individual experiences may differ. Common considerations during recovery include:

  1. Initial redness and swelling, which typically subsides
  2. Following a specific skincare routine post-treatment
  3. Strict sun protection to protect the treated skin
