General Information: Fractional Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing
Also known as fractional photothermolysis, Fractional Laser Resurfacing is a method of skin rejuvenation in which the targeted areas of the skin are precisely spaced out at a microscopic level, leaving some skin perfectly intact while other zones are heat treated. The effect is visually comparable to the pixels in digital images, as the tiny spots of treated skin replace old, destroyed cells with new, healthy ones, and the untreated areas maintain the tissue's stability for quicker recovery. This approach provides greater safety and faster recovery time resulting in a relatively risk-free procedure with superior skin rejuvenation in as little as one treatment.
