Fractional Skin Resurfacing

Your physician will discuss your treatment needs with you during your consult.

The Healing Process

Immediately following treatment you will experience some swelling and redness. If your doctor uses advanced modes during the procedure, the area treated will appear red for a longer period of time. In most cases, this issue resolves in one to three weeks. During that time, with the exception of the first few days post-treatment, you may apply makeup to tone down the redness. Normal activities may be resumed, in most cases, within 5-7 days. Laser energy micro-ablates tissue leaving small micro-wounds bridged by healthy tissue. Your body’s natural healing process stimulates the creation of new tissue and collagen for a younger more youthful appearance of the skin.
