Fractional Skin Resurfacing Treatment Overview

Aging, sun damage, and environmental stressors can take a toll on the skin, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, acne scars, and pigmentation issues.

Fractional Skin Resurfacing is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment designed to address these concerns by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin’s top layer. This advanced laser treatment delivers precise micro-injuries to the skin, prompting a natural healing response that rebuilds collagen and elastin fibers.

The result? Smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with improved texture and tone. Unlike traditional ablative lasers, which remove the entire top layer of skin, fractional laser technology targets only a fraction of the skin’s surface in a grid-like pattern, leaving surrounding tissue intact.

This accelerates healing time and reduces downtime, making it a safe and effective option for all skin types. At Image Clinic, we customize each treatment based on your skin’s unique needs, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort.

What To Expect

✔ Comprehensive Skin Evaluation – Before treatment, our specialists assess your skin to determine the best settings and depth for optimal resurfacing results.

✔ Customized Laser Treatment – A fractional laser is applied in a controlled manner, targeting deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.

✔ Mild Tingling Sensation – You may feel a warm, tingling sensation during the procedure, but topical numbing is available for comfort.

✔ Post-Treatment Redness & Mild Peeling – The skin may appear slightly red and feel sunburned for a few days post-treatment, with some mild peeling as the skin renews itself.

✔ Progressive Improvement – Initial results are visible within a few weeks, with continued improvement over the next 3-6 months as collagen production increases.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment to prevent unnecessary sensitivity.

✔ Discontinue use of retinoids, strong exfoliants, or acids for at least 5-7 days before the procedure to ensure skin is in its healthiest state.

✔ Stay well-hydrated and maintain a proper skincare routine to maximize laser effectiveness.

✔ Avoid self-tanners or excessive heat exposure before the treatment to ensure optimal laser penetration.

✔ Consult with our specialists about any skin concerns or medications you’re taking that may impact treatment results.

Aftercare

✔ Keep skin hydrated with a gentle, medical-grade moisturizer to aid healing and reduce dryness.

✔ Apply SPF 30+ daily to protect skin from UV damage and pigmentation issues post-treatment.

✔ Avoid direct sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 5-7 days post-treatment to prevent irritation and redness.

✔ Refrain from picking or exfoliating peeling skin—allow the skin to heal naturally for best results.

✔ Use only gentle, non-irritating skincare products recommended by our specialists to optimize healing.

✔ Schedule follow-up treatments every 4-6 weeks for maximum rejuvenation and long-term results.

Key Benefits of Fractional Skin Resurfacing

Collagen Boost for Firmer, More Youthful Skin

This treatment stimulates natural collagen production, which tightens and firms the skin over time, reducing fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother and lifted appearance.

Improved Skin Texture & Reduced Scarring Fractional Skin

Resurfacing resurfaces the skin at a deeper level, reducing acne scars, surgical scars, and uneven skin texture, revealing a softer and more refined complexion.

Minimally Invasive with Short Downtime

Unlike fully ablative treatments, fractional laser targets precise areas, allowing faster recovery while still delivering transformative skin renewal results.

Safe & Effective for All Skin Types

Because this laser treats a fraction of the skin at a time, it reduces heat damage, making it safe for various skin tones and types while minimizing post-inflammatory pigmentation risks.

Long-Lasting Results with Progressive Improvement

While initial results appear within weeks, collagen remodeling continues for months, providing progressive skin renewal and long-lasting radiance.

FAQ's

Have questions? We have the answers! Explore our FAQ section to find everything you need to know.

How many treatments are needed for the best results?

While some clients notice visible improvement after a single session, we typically recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for the most significant, long-lasting results.

Does the procedure hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild stinging or warm tingling feeling. Topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort.

When will I see the final results?

You may start noticing improvements within a few weeks, but full results continue to develop over 3-6 months as collagen production rebuilds and strengthens the skin.

Is there downtime after Fractional Skin Resurfacing?

There is minimal downtime compared to traditional laser treatments. Expect mild redness, swelling, and peeling for a few days, similar to a mild sunburn.

Can I combine this treatment with other procedures?

Yes! Many clients choose to combine fractional laser resurfacing with injectables, microneedling, or chemical peels for enhanced skin rejuvenation results. We customize treatment plans based on your skin goals.

Is this treatment safe for darker skin tones?

Yes! Our fractional laser delivers energy in a controlled, precise manner, making it safe for most skin tones. A pre-treatment consultation ensures the right settings for your skin type to prevent hyperpigmentation risks.
