Fractional laser skin resurfacing plays an essential role in reducing stretch marks and surgical scars. Below is all you need to know concerning fractional laser skin resurfacing.
What is fractional laser skin resurfacing?
It is classified as a skin rejuvenation treatment that involves using laser energy. The laser energy is usually divided into several microscopic therapies focusing on the target areas to reduce optimal effectiveness and damage to healthy tissues. In most cases, fractional laser energy is generally safe on the surface of your skin. It is very effective when it penetrates deep layers of the skin to stimulate new cell regeneration. It also promotes collagen production, which improves and strengthens the inner supportive structure of your skin. It makes your skin appear smoother, softer, and evenly pigmented and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The collagen also restores dull and aging skin cells during the period when you will be receiving your treatment leading to long-lasting results. Usually, the treatment is non-invasive, quick, and has little discomfort and minimal downtime needed.
What types of concerns can fractional laser skin resurface treat?
Your health care provider may use ablative or non-ablative laser skin resurfacing depending on your unique needs. In most cases, non-ablative treatments usually cause minimal damage to your skin surface and usually target deep tissue layers, stimulating the production of new collagen. On the other hand, ablative therapies are generally more intense because they work by burning away damaged layers from the surface of your skin down to deeper layers of the skin. Fractional ablative laser resurfacing stimulates faster healing compared to other treatments.
The dermatologists use the state-of-the-art Icon aesthetic system to treat various skin problems using fractional laser for ablative and non-ablative resurfacing treatments. The treatment aims at treating concerns like stretch marks, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven texture, surgical scars, sun damage, melasma, and acne scars. Ablative resurfacing is usually considered stronger than non-ablative resurfacing, but your care provider helps you select the safest and best treatment that meets your needs.

How many fractional laser treatments do you need to see the results?
After one fractional laser treatment, you are more likely to note a difference in the appearance of your scar tissue, fine lines, and wrinkles. However, to get optimal results, several non-ablative treatment sessions are required.
Some skin concerns like wrinkles, acne, and fine lines can lower your self-esteem because it makes you feel inferior and not attractive.
