Fractional Laser

Welcome to our Fractional Laser Treatment Patient Guide! We are excited to offer this innovative and effective treatment to help you achieve your desired skin rejuvenation goals.

What is Fractional Laser Treatment?
Fractional Laser Treatment is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that uses a laser to resurface the skin by creating micro-injuries in the targeted area. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, resulting in the production of new collagen and elastin, which can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

What to Expect During the Treatment:
Before the treatment, our skincare professionals will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your skin type and concerns to determine the best treatment plan for you. During the procedure, you will receive a topical anesthetic to help minimize any discomfort. The laser device will then be applied to the targeted area, and you may feel a warm, rickling sensation as the laser works to resurface your skin.

Recovery and Results:
After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs. Your skin may also feel tight and dry, and you may notice some peeling or flaking as the skin heals. Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.

Results from Fractional Laser Treatment typically improve over time, with optimal results visible after a few months. Your skin will appear smoother, more even-toned, and rejuvenated. It’s essential to continue practicing good skincare habits, such as wearing sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure, to maintain your results.

Side effects:
While it is a relatively safe and effective treatment, there are potential side effects associated with the procedure. The following are some of the common side effects that patients may experience after undergoing fractional laser treatment:

1. Redness: The skin may appear red and swollen after the procedure, which is a normal reaction and typically subsides within a few days.
2. Itching: Some patients may experience itching, which can be relieved by using a cold compress or applying a mild lotion.
3. Peeling or flaking: The treated skin may peel or flake off after a few days, which is a sign of the skin renewing itself.
4. Dryness: Some patients may experience dryness and flakiness of the skin.
5. Pigmentation changes: In some cases, the treated area may become darker or lighter in color, which is more common in patients with darker skin tones.
6. Scarring: Although rare, there is a risk of scarring, especially in patients with a history of keloid scars.
7. Infection: Although extremely rare, there is a risk of infection following fractional laser treatment. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, and pus. Rarely, it may also trigger the development of a cold sore. You should let your doctor know if you’re prone to cold sores.

It is essential to discuss the potential side effects with your healthcare provider before undergoing fractional laser treatment to determine if it is the right treatment option for you. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
