What is Fractional Laser Treatment?

Fractional laser treatment is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a laser to deliver a matrix of pinpoint laser beams to treat a fraction of the skin at a time. It's effective for reducing fine lines, scars, sun damage, and improving skin texture and tone.

How does Fractional Laser Work?

Fractional laser treatment works by creating micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing process. This process promotes the production of new collagen and elastin, restoring the skin to a more youthful state.

Is Fractional Laser Painful?

Patients often report a sensation of heat or minor discomfort during the procedure. We use cooling methods and may apply a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort for an additional charge.
