Fractional technology is a benchmark for efficiency and comfort in laser resurfacing procedures. Fractional resurfacing consists of the emission of tiny laser energy beams that penetrate into the skin in the form of thermal columns all the way to the dermis while leaving untreated tissue in between them. Laser energy is deposited into the tissue with a pattern of random shots which alternate areas treated by laser with those of intact skin. This provides for a faster recovery and tissue regeneration and is a virtually painless treatment.
These thermal micro-columns treat the dermis superficially and also in depth, reaching the underlying layers of the dermis and stimulating collagen formation. In addition, this mechanism allows for individualized treatments, adapting them to the needs of each patient.
1. Patients with acute inflammation.
2. Highly sensitive to treatment intolerance.
3. Malignant tumors and other infection diseases.
4. Isotretinoin use within the previous six months.
5. Active cutaneous bacterial or viral infection in the area to be treated.
6. History of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring.
7. Ongoing ultraviolet exposure, prior radiation therapy to treatment area.
8. Collagen vascular disease, chemical peel and Microdermabrasion.
