About this treatment
Fractional laser resurfacing creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. As the skin heals, it replaces damaged cells and builds new collagen, which can improve texture, fine lines and some types of scarring.
How it works
Your skin is cleansed and numbed for about 45 minutes. The laser passes over each area in a controlled pattern, with settings tailored to your skin type and goals.
What to expect
✓ Warmth and redness similar to a sunburn for a few days
✓ Light flaking or bronzing as the skin renews
✓ A detailed aftercare kit and written instructions
Is it right for you?
Laser settings depend on skin tone, history and recent sun exposure. Your consultation includes a skin assessment to confirm whether resurfacing is appropriate for you.
Frequently asked
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients see a meaningful change after one session. Deeper concerns such as scarring may benefit from a series.
Is laser safe for darker skin tones?
Some lasers are suitable for a wide range of skin tones when settings are chosen carefully. Your provider will recommend the safest option for your skin.
When can I wear makeup?
Usually after five to seven days, once the skin has finished flaking.
