What is fractional laser treatment?

A fractional laser treatment is an advanced technique where laser light is divided into thousands of fine laser beams, creating tiny microchannels in the skin.

This treatment focuses on improving skin texture by controlled damage to specific areas of the skin.

The process leaves a pattern of treated and untouched skin zones, which promotes the skin's natural healing process and stimulates collagen production.

Who is fractional laser treatment suitable for?

Fractional laser treatments are ideal for individuals 18 years and older who want to work on achieving healthy and youthful skin. This treatment can be effective for a wide range of skin concerns, such as:

  • Wrinkles and fine lines: for smoother skin and reducing signs of aging.
  • Acne scars: helps even out skin texture after acne outbreaks.
  • Surgical scars: reduces the visibility of old scars.
  • Sun damage and pigmentation spots: improves skin tone and reduces UV-related spots.
  • Melasma: helps reduce facial pigmentation spots.
  • Enlarged pores: refines skin texture and minimizes pores.
  • Stretch marks (striae): reduces the visibility of stretch marks.

What are the benefits of fractional laser treatment:

A major benefit of fractional laser treatment is that it rejuvenates the skin by stimulating natural collagen production.

  • Faster healing: The healthy skin between treated zones remains intact, promoting quicker recovery.
  • Improved skin texture: Stimulates new connective tissue and collagen, firming and rejuvenating the skin.
  • Minimal downtime: Recovery time is often shorter than with traditional laser treatments, with lower risk of side effects.
  • Targeted rejuvenation: Effective for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin texture concerns.

How does a fractional laser treatment work?

The fractional laser treatment is a non-ablative technique, meaning the top skin layer remains intact. The skin is treated with fractional laser beams. Here's how it works:

01

Laser Beams

The Nordlys laser splits the light into multiple tiny, fractional beams targeting water in skin cells, generating heat that penetrates deeper skin layers.

02

Treated Areas

These beams create microscopic channels in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. The heat induces controlled skin damage, triggering natural healing processes.

03

Healing and Rejuvenation

The healthy skin around the treated areas aids in faster recovery. This process stimulates the production of new collagen, elastin, and connective tissue. The result is firmer, more even skin with improved blood circulation and texture.

What are the results of fractional laser treatment?

Immediate Results

Immediately after the treatment, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to mild sunburn. These symptoms typically subside within a few days.

Short-term Results

Within a few weeks, initial results like a smoother skin texture and a more even skin tone become noticeable.

Long-term Results

The full effects generally appear after several months as collagen and elastin continue to regenerate. For optimal results, multiple sessions may be necessary depending on the specific skin concerns.
