Fractional Laser
Fractional laser is a skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers laser energy in microscopic columns, stimulating collagen and improving skin texture, fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation.
Who is a good candidate?
- Those with acne scars, fine lines, uneven texture, or pigmentation.
- Best suited for fair to medium skin tones.
- Not recommended for individuals with active skin infections or recent sun exposure.
What to expect
- The skin is numbed before treatment.
- Laser pulses create tiny controlled injuries in the skin to trigger healing.
- Mild redness and swelling last a few days, followed by peeling.
- Results improve over several weeks as collagen production increases.
Is it Safe?
- Clinically tested and safe when performed by a trained provider.
- Side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and peeling.
- Sun protection is essential to prevent hyperpigmentation post-treatment.
What type of fractional lasers do we operate at CDC?
Thulium Fractional Laser:
- Wavelength: Typically around 1927 nm.
- Action: The Thulium laser primarily targets the epidermis and upper dermis, making it ideal for superficial skin issues like fine lines, pigmentation, and skin texture.
- Skin Layers Treated: It has a more superficial effect, creating micro-injuries to the skin’s surface.
- Downtime: Shorter downtime with minimal discomfort, ideal for those seeking quick recovery.
- Best For: Sun damage, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and superficial pigmentation (e.g., age spots or freckles).
Erbium Fractional Laser:
- Wavelength: Typically around 2940 nm.
- Action: The Erbium laser targets deeper skin layers (the dermis) and is more aggressive, making it effective for moderate to severe skin issues like wrinkles, deeper acne scars, and skin laxity.
- Skin Layers Treated: Penetrates deeper than Thulium, offering more intense resurfacing.
- Downtime: Longer recovery time compared to Thulium, as it can cause more noticeable redness and swelling due to its deeper impact.
- Best For: Deep wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and skin resurfacing requiring more significant correction.
