What is Fractional Resurfacing?
Fractional Resurfacing is a fairly new skin treatment that has become immensely popular among patients with acne scars, scars from past surgery, sun damaged skin and wrinkles. It uses heat to gently penetrate through the skin, making thousands upon thousands of microscopic holes. This stimulates collagen growth and lifts and tightens your skin. At the same time, it caused your skin to gently peel, which results in more refreshed and youthful complexion. Because this treatment is precise and highly customizable, it provides patients with both predictable results and conveniently rapid recovery.
How long is Fractional Resurfacing treatment?
Patients love Fractional Resurfacing because it is as quick as it is effective. The length of the treatment can vary depending on the nature of each patient’s skin condition. But, it usually takes no longer than 30 minutes.
Is Fractional Resurfacing painful?
Most patients say that Fractional Resurfacing is a fairly comfortable procedure. Some equate the sensation during the treatment to that of a getting a light sunburn. To make the procedure even more comfortable, a numbing cream may be applied 15 minutes prior to the treatment.
What can I expect after my Fractional Resurfacing Treatment?
There is minimal post-treatment recovery. Patients typically experience sunburn-like sensation for 24 to 48 hour after the procedure. The treatment area will appear red, dry and slightly swollen for the first week after the procedure. Patients experience some skin peeling and apply special creams to keep skin moist. All of these effects are a part of skin’s natural healing process and is a sign that that the treatment is working.
When will I see results?
Most patients usually say that they notice first results in about ten to fourteen days after the treatment. Best results can be achieved with a series of two to six fractional resurfacing treatments.
