About Fractional Skin Resurfacing

What is Skin Resurfacing for Acne Scars & Wrinkles

Skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure designed to help support skin renewal and improve the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. Medical practitioners use laser technology, microneedling, or chemical exfoliation to encourage collagen production and skin rejuvenation.

How Does Skin Resurfacing Work

Fractional Skin Resurfacing is an innovative non-surgical ablative treatment that penetrates the epidermis layer for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation and deep wrinkle reduction. It’s minimally invasive and designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by targeting a fraction of the skin at a time. This advanced treatment uses radiofrequency technology to create thousands of microscopic columns of thermal energy in the skin, which penetrate the epidermis and dermis to stimulate the body's natural healing process.

Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, which treats the entire skin surface, fractional resurfacing leaves surrounding tissue intact, allowing for faster healing and reduced downtime. The procedure is highly customizable, making it suitable for addressing a variety of skin concerns, including wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and uneven texture. Fractional resurfacing can be used on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and décolletage, to address signs of aging, sun damage, and scarring. FSR can be combined with microneedling and radiofrequency to provide even greater benefits and results.

Benefits of Fractional Skin Resurfacing:

  • Stimulates Collagen Production: By creating controlled micro-injuries, fractional resurfacing triggers the skin's natural collagen synthesis, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Diminishes appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

  • Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Smooths rough skin, minimizes pores, and evens out skin tone for a more radiant and refined complexion.

  • Reduces Scarring: Effective in treating acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks by promoting the growth of healthy, new skin tissue.

  • Minimizes Hyperpigmentation: Can fade dark spots, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation, resulting in a more uniform skin tone.

  • Customizable Treatment: The depth and intensity of the treatment can be adjusted to target specific skin concerns and suit individual skin types

  • Minimal Downtime: Compared to traditional laser resurfacing, fractional resurfacing involves shorter recovery times, with most patients experiencing redness and swelling for a few days to a week.

  • Safe for Various Skin Types: Can be safely performed on a wide range of skin tones and types, though consultation is recommended to determine the best approach.

  • Long-Lasting Results: Collagen remodeling process continues for months after the treatment, providing gradual and long-lasting improvements in skin quality and appearance.

  • Versatility: Fractional resurfacing can be used on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and décolletage, to address signs of aging, sun damage, and scarring.

What to Expect During Treatment

During a skin resurfacing session, a medical practitioner will:
Assess skin type and concerns to recommend the appropriate treatment.
Before treatment, topical numbing will be applied to minimize pain and discomfort.

Depending on the areas of treatment, the procedure can take approximately 45 - 90 minutes.

Some individuals may experience mild redness, peeling, or sensitivity post-treatment. Results may improve gradually over multiple sessions as skin renewal continues.
