Fractional Laser

This article was medically reviewed by Dr. Okan Morkoç

Fractional laser treatment is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to target specific areas of the skin with microbeams of laser light. These microbeams create tiny, controlled injuries in the skin, prompting the body’s natural healing process and stimulating collagen and elastin production. Fractional lasers are highly effective in treating acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin texture, offering significant skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

How Does Fractional Laser Treatment Work?

Fractional lasers work by delivering precise laser energy into the deeper layers of the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This technique promotes faster healing and less recovery time. The treatment can be customized for different skin concerns:

  • Ablative Fractional Lasers

    • Use high-intensity laser beams to vaporize the outer skin layers, effectively resurfacing the skin.
    • Best suited for deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and pronounced scars.
    • Involves longer downtime but dramatic skin improvements.

  • Non-Ablative Fractional Lasers

    • Deliver lower-energy laser beams that heat the deeper skin layers without damaging the surface.
    • Ideal for mild to moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and skin texture improvement.
    • Requires minimal recovery time, making it suitable for busier lifestyles.
