ResurFACE Fractional Laser

The award winning ResurFACE fractional laser delivers ablative treatments for dramatic skin rejuvenation, helping improve the appearance and smoothness of the skin. The fractional laser helps deliver similar results as other more aggressive treatments such as the CO2 laser and injectable options. Treatment is suitable for most people and highly recommended for individuals wanting a brighter, more even skin tone, smoother skin texture with improved skin elasticity, a reduction of wrinkles, reduced pore size and improvement to scars (including acne scarring) and stretch marks. A laser consultation will be conducted before treatment to chat about your desired results and skin concerns, design a treatment plan to suit your skin needs and complete a test patch and medical questionnaire.

FAQS about the ResurFACE Fractional laser treatment:

What will fractional laser improve?

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.

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 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 as if you had mild sunburn.

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.
