Scars and acne by fractional laser

Non-ablative and ablative fractional laser techniques are one of the most modern and effective procedures for improving skin texture and erasing surface skin irregularities like scars and stretch marks.

The treatment entails micro-perforation of the epidermis by laser beam, thus generating microlesions which stimulate the production of collagen and encourage the renewal of the epidermis. This phenomenon leads to a structural reorganisation of the dermis, forming neocollagen and giving the skin a smooth and refreshed structure.

Treatment

Non-ablative fractional laser technology
This technology helps to reduce scarring, improve the skin's texture, tighten pores and/or erase stretchmarks.

Ablative fractional laser technology
This technology acts upon unattractive and rebellious wrinkles around the mouth and eyes.

Result

The non-ablative fractional laser treatment causes slight redness and a minor oedema of the face which may persist for 24 to 48 hours. Recovery is particularly swift thanks to the fractionation system. The treatment sessions are easily integrated into a busy professional schedule. Results can be observed by the third session and reach their maximum 3 months after the third session.

The ablative fractional laser treatment requires about 5 days off from work and social activities during which time the treated areas will appear brown and wet. The skin will appear normal again by the 6th day though the complete result can be observed 8 weeks after the session when the collagen production is at its maximum and the skin looks smooth, healthy and rejuvenated.

Duration

The non-ablative fractional laser treatment is performed over the entire face under topical anaesthetic with cream. The session takes about 1 hour and 3 to 5 sessions are recommended with intervals of 4 weeks.

Ablative fractional laser treatment on small, well-defined areas under topical anaesthetic with cream. The session takes about 30 minutes and 1 to 2 sessions are recommended with intervals of 6 months.
