We use an award-winning medical grade laser machine from UK’s Lynton Lasers for all our Fractional Resurfacing treatments. It contains an erbium YAG fractional laser for treating textural problems and scarring.
Fractional laser skin resurfacing provides total rejuvenation to give the skin a smooth, youthful and glowing appearance and is highly recommended for individuals who want a smoother skin texture or an improvement in the appearance of stretch marks.
CONSULTATION FOR FRACTIONAL LASER TREATMENTS
Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained to confirm suitability. Before proceeding with treatment you will also be asked to complete a consent form. Your skin will be assessed and a treatment plan put together. It is here where we can also asses the size of the area requiring treatment.
LASER PEELS
A fractional laser treatment doesn’t need to be an aggressive one – passing over the entire face just once gives some dryness for a day or two leaving the skin with a smooth and refreshed look. These gentle treatments don’t require a test patch but are only for lighter skin types.
DEEP FRACTIONAL LASER TREATMENTS
Deep treatments are for more stubborn skin concerns such as stretch marks, scaring and wrinkles. For these treatments there would generally be two passes, and a third over certain areas, if suitable.
Micro Areas (2-3 passes)
Top Lip
Nose
Small Areas (2-3 passes)
Cheeks
Forehead
Medium Areas (2-3 passes)
Lower Face
Neck
Décolletage
Large Areas (2-3 passes)
Full Face
Body (Breasts, Thighs, Stomach, Back, Chest)
Area size is a guide only and pricing is approximate for all Fractional Laser treatments – a full consultation is required.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ResurFACE fractional laser provides total rejuvenation to give the skin a smooth, youthful and glowing appearance.
How does fractional skin resurfacing work?
Minute sections of the skin are targeted with laser light, which penetrate into the tissue, causing small columns of thermal damage to stimulate significant collagen renewal. The surrounding non-affected areas of skin aid the body’s natural recovery process, for dramatic results without significant downtime.
Am I suitable for treatment?
Treatment is suitable for most people and highly recommended for individuals wanting a brighter, more even skin tone, smoother skin texture with improved skin elasticity, a reduction of wrinkles, reduced pore size and improvement to scars (including acne scars) and stretch marks.
How is the treatment carried out?
The skin is cleansed and the handpiece is moved over the skin delivering tiny microscopic laser beams. Typically treatment time varies depending upon the skin condition and the area being treated, but will range from 10 to 40 minutes. After treatment the skin is cooled. Protective eye wear must be worn during treatment.
How does the treatment feel?
A warm, heating sensation is felt during treatment with some mild stinging. After treatment the skin can be quite hot and so cooling is often utilised to minimise discomfort.
What should I expect after treatment?
You will experience a mild sunburnt sensation for a few hours after treatment and the skin may be red for 1 to 2 days. This is a normal sign that the skin is healing at a deep level. Swelling is likely but minimal, and resolves in 2 to 3 days. As the healing process occurs, your skin may have a ‘bronzed’ appearance that lasts from 3 to 10 days, depending on the treatment level. Your skin will naturally exfoliate and may flake as if you had mild sunburn.
Are there any side effects?
Skin redness, swelling and the bronzing appearance described above are all expected outcomes of treatment. Other adverse effects are rare but can include a small blister or temporary change to skin pigmentation, such as a darkening of the skin.
How many treatments are necessary?
Improvement is evident after the first session, but for optimum results 3 to 6 treatment sessions are often advised. Treatment is carried out every 2 to 6 weeks, depending upon the level of rejuvenation required.
