What Are Fractional Lasers & Why Are They Better For Skin Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing is one of the most effective skin rejuvenation procedures on the market. It comes in both surgical and non-surgical forms. Pretty much all laser skin resurfacing procedures (whether surgical or non-surgical) use what is called a “fractionated laser.” What are fractional lasers and why are they better for skin resurfacing? Let’s explore this question and more about laser skin resurfacing.
When a fractional laser treats the skin, it only targets a portion of the skin at a time. This means that it may require multiple passes, but it also allows the laser to treat both the surface and deeper layers of skin. It results in less overall damage without offering less of a result. Fractionated lasers can differentiate between healthy tissue and dead or damaged tissue. This is why it is so effective at rejuvenating the skin.
While other types of lasers can be used for laser resurfacing, they cause more damage and involve a much longer and more intensive recovery process. Fractionated lasers are ideal for treating the skin because they can target the pigmented and damaged areas of the skin without damaging the healthy skin.
