Fractional Laser Treatments
Advanced fractional laser technology for skin resurfacing, scar reduction, and wrinkle improvement. Learn about different types of fractional lasers and their applications.
What is Fractional Laser Technology?
Fractional laser technology treats only a fraction of the skin surface at a time, creating microscopic treatment zones surrounded by healthy, untreated skin. This approach allows for faster healing and reduced downtime compared to traditional full-surface treatments.
The technology works by delivering laser energy in a grid pattern, creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body's natural healing process and collagen production.
