Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Precision skin renewal for scars, texture and ageing
Fractional laser resurfacing delivers thousands of tiny columns of laser energy into the skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact to accelerate healing. This controlled injury stimulates new collagen, elastin and skin cell production — progressively improving scars, pores, wrinkles and texture.
Ablative fractional CO2 or Er:YAG lasers remove micro-columns of skin for maximum remodelling; non-ablative fractional lasers heat without removing tissue for less downtime. Your clinician will recommend the appropriate modality based on your concern and tolerance for recovery.
