Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing

A fractional laser that resurfaces the skin in microscopic columns to help improve texture, fine lines and tone with less downtime than fully ablative lasers. At Gabinety Tuwima it can be focused on the full face, the face with the chin or neck, or the delicate eye area, each priced separately. Best results come from a short course of sessions, with improvement continuing over the following weeks.

Fractional laser resurfacing delivers laser energy into the skin in a grid of microscopic treatment zones, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This fractional approach is associated with a collagen-remodelling response that can smooth texture, soften fine lines and even out tone, while the untreated bridges of skin between the zones allow faster recovery than older, fully ablative resurfacing. At Gabinety Tuwima the skin is cleansed and numbed before treatment, which takes around thirty to forty-five minutes for the face. Afterwards the skin typically feels warm and looks flushed, with mild swelling and a sandpaper-like texture for a few days as it renews; most people return to normal activities quickly with diligent moisturising and sun protection. Because collagen remodelling is gradual, a course of several sessions spaced a few weeks apart gives the best outcome, with improvements continuing for some time afterwards. The laser can be tailored to the full face (excluding the eyelids), the face with the chin, the face with neck and chin, or the delicate eye area on its own, each priced separately. Strict daily SPF is essential during and after a course. The treatment is not suitable over active infection or for certain skin conditions and is avoided in pregnancy; the clinician confirms suitability and appropriate settings for your skin at consultation.
