Get Summer Wedding Ready! Fractional laser is the perfect treatment to improve the overall skin texture and appearance.
What is the ResurFACE Fractional Laser?
The skin resurfacing treatment will even out skin tone, smoothen skin texture with improved skin elasticity, a reduction of wrinkles, reduced pore size and improvement to scars (including acne scars) and stretch marks to the body. Fractional skin resurfacing targets minute sections of the skin with laser light, which penetrates the tissue, causing small columns of thermal damage which in turn stimulates significant collagen renewal. The surrounding non affected areas of skin aid the body’s natural recovery process, allowing dramatic results without significant downtime.
Is there any downtime to the treatment?
You will experience a mild sunburnt sensation for a few hours after treatment and the skin may be red for 1 to 2 days. This is a normal sign that the skin is healing at a deep level. As the healing process occurs, your skin may have a ‘bronzed’ appearance that lasts from 3 to 10 days, depending on the treatment level. Your skin will naturally exfoliate and may flake away, as if you had mild sunburn.
How many sessions are needed?
Improvement is evident after the first session, but for optimum results 3 to 5 treatment sessions are often advised. Treatment is carried out every 2 to 6 weeks, depending upon the level of rejuvenation required and the area of concern.
Is the treatment painful?
A warm, heating sensation is felt during treatment, with some mild stinging. After treatment, the skin can be quite hot and so cooling packs are often utilised to minimise discomfort.
A test patch and consultation is needed before treatment if you have never had laser treatments with us before. The consultation can be tailored to you, creating a unique treatment plan, concentrating on your main skin concerns. Call the clinic on 01772 816133 to find out more.
