Fractional Laser Resurfacing (Er:YAG 2940nm)

Fractional resurfacing uses an Erbium:YAG laser at 2940nm — a wavelength strongly absorbed by water in the skin — to precisely remove the outermost damaged layers in a grid of microscopic columns while leaving bridges of intact skin between them. This fractional pattern triggers rapid renewal of the surface and a strong collagen-remodelling response in the deeper layers, smoothing texture, softening fine lines, improving photoageing and refining scars,…

The skin is cleansed and numbed before treatment, which takes around thirty to forty-five minutes for the face. Afterwards the skin feels warm and looks flushed, with mild swelling and a sandpaper-like texture for several days as it renews and lightly flakes; diligent moisturising and sun protection support healing. Because collagen remodelling is gradual, results continue to improve over the weeks and months that follow, and more pronounced photodamage…
