Fractional laser therapy

In frac­tion­al tre­at­ment, the skin is not trea­ted across the who­le sur­face but in a grid of many micro­sco­pi­cal­ly small points. Untouch­ed skin remains bet­ween the trea­ted columns.

Appli­ca­ti­on

This prin­ci­ple can be appli­ed to abla­ti­ve and non-abla­ti­ve lasers and to radio­fre­quen­cy. It is used for acne scars, sun dama­ge, stretch marks and gene­ral skin renewal.

Good to know

The advan­ta­ge lies in the heal­ing: from the islands left int­act, the skin rege­ne­ra­tes con­sider­a­b­ly fas­ter than after rem­oval across a who­le sur­face. This mark­ed­ly redu­ces the risk of scar­ri­ng and pig­ment changes.
