What are the benefits of fractional laser resurfacing?
Fractional laser skin resurfacing has three significant benefits compared to the traditional laser skin resurfacing: 1. Increased Comfort: The fractional array of microbeams does not cause bulk damage as traditional ablative skin resurfacing. As a result, the procedure is much gentler. 2. Increased Safety: Following a fractional ablative procedure, each tiny microbeam re-epithelializes (i.e. regrows the missing tissue and closes over) typically within 24 hours. This minimizes the risk of scarring, infection or long-term pigmentation changes. 3. Decreased Downtime: Depending on the type of treatment, most fractional laser patients can return to normal activities within a matter of days.
