fractional laser resurfacing

This state-of-the-art treatment uses laser technology to give you a fresher, more youthful skin tone and texture. Fractional laser resurfacing is the latest method for rejuvenating aged skin. Our Lux 1540 is great for lines, wrinkles, scarring and sun damage. Advantages over other similar systems include more comfortable treatment; fast healing time with no lasting redness; and effective, long-term results.


What are the advantages of this treatment over conventional laser resurfacing?
The advantage of fractional laser therapy is that only selected areas of the damaged skin are treated. The laser works as though it has a sieve-like filter over it. so that microbeams are produced on small targeted areas. The treated skin area rapidly recovers with newer skin and healthy tissue. When therapy is done in fractions, this allows the skin to rapidly recover with little downtime. The side effects with this type of therapy are less and complications are very rare. In most cases, the old damaged skin is replaced by the new skin within a few days.

How many treatments are required?
Because fractional laser therapy only treats part of the skin, additional therapy is required to treat the entire skin surface. Most individuals require anywhere from 4-6 sessions to treat the damaged skin. The results of fractional laser skin resurfacing are not immediate but evidence of a smoother and tighter skin will be evident after 3-4 sessions. The final cosmetic benefits of this therapy are seen after several months. At Stradbrook Skin, this treatment is only carried out by highly qualified medically trained staff.
