Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing

A fractional laser that resurfaces the skin in microscopic columns to improve texture, fine lines, scarring and stretch marks while leaving surrounding skin intact for a quicker recovery. At Mediclaser it is priced by area, from the forehead, lips and eye zone up to the full face, neck, décolleté, abdomen and thighs. Treating only a fraction of the surface at a time is associated with collagen renewal and smoother skin over the following weeks.

Fractional laser resurfacing delivers energy into the skin as a grid of microscopic treatment zones, leaving the bridges of skin between them untreated. This fractional pattern is intended to trigger a focused repair-and-renewal response that can smooth texture, soften fine lines and improve the appearance of scarring and stretch marks, while the intact surrounding tissue allows faster recovery than older fully ablative resurfacing. At Mediclaser the skin is cleansed and prepared before treatment, which takes around thirty to forty-five minutes depending on the area. Afterwards the skin typically feels warm and looks flushed, with mild swelling and a sandpaper-like texture for a few days as it renews; diligent moisturising and strict sun protection support recovery. Because the effect is cumulative and collagen remodelling is gradual, a short course spaced several weeks apart is commonly recommended, with improvements continuing for months afterwards. The laser can be focused on the full face, the face and eyes together, the forehead, the delicate eye area, the lips, the neck, the décolleté, the abdomen or the thighs, each priced separately, and a lighter laser peel is also offered. The treatment is not suitable over active infection or for certain skin conditions and is avoided in pregnancy; suitability and the right settings are confirmed during the medical interview.
