If you’re noticing wrinkles, scars, or stretch marks that make you feel less confident, fractional laser resurfacing offers a proven way to refresh your skin. This treatment uses advanced laser technology to target the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production and encouraging the growth of smoother, more even skin.
At Reflections Dermatology in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Dimitry Palceski and his team use state-of-the-art laser platforms including the Palomar Icon and Smartskin CO2 systems to deliver precise, effective results. From IPL photo-facials to fractional non-ablative and ablative treatments, you’ll receive care that’s tailored to your skin’s unique needs and your aesthetic goals.
What Is Fractional Laser Resurfacing?
Fractional laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light energy to improve skin texture and tone. Unlike older laser treatments that affect the entire surface area, fractional technology creates thousands of tiny treatment zones while leaving the surrounding tissue intact.
This approach allows your skin to heal more quickly and reduces the risk of complications, making it suitable for a wider range of skin types and concerns.
How Does Fractional Resurfacing Work?
During treatment, the laser delivers controlled energy deep into the dermis, where it creates microscopic columns of treated tissue. This triggers your body’s natural healing response, prompting the production of fresh collagen and elastin.
Over the following weeks and months, new skin cells replace damaged tissue, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. The fractionated approach means healthy tissue surrounds each treatment zone, which speeds healing and minimizes downtime.
What Can Fractional Resurfacing Treat?
Fractional laser treatments are versatile and can address a variety of skin concerns. You may benefit from this treatment if you’re dealing with fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, sun damage, age spots, uneven skin tone, or rough texture.
The treatment works on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas of the body where you want to see improvement.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Before your procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied for your comfort. The laser session itself typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. You may feel a warming or prickling sensation during the procedure.
Afterward, your skin may appear red and feel tender, similar to a sunburn. Most people return to normal activities within a few days, though full healing can take one to two weeks.
You’ll see gradual improvement over several months as new collagen forms, with optimal results often appearing three to six months after your final session.
