Everything You Need to Know About Fractional Laser Resurfacing | Maryland Plastic Surgery and PURE MedSpa

Are you looking for skin rejuvenation? At Maryland Plastic Surgery in Millersville, MD, we offer fractional laser skin treatment that can help improve the appearance of skin with signs of aging or damage caused by the sun. If you’re considering a laser resurfacing treatment, rest assured that we can help you decide whether it’s appropriate for your skin type.

What is Fractional Laser Resurfacing?

Fractional laser resurfacing is an innovative skin treatment that uses laser energy to improve the texture and tone of the skin. It offers a minimally invasive way to reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and sun damage. It can also be used for treating acne scars and discoloration due to acne. Fractional laser resurfacing is becoming increasingly popular amongst people looking for an effective, non-surgical solution to reverse the effects of time on their skin.

What Can Fractional Laser Resurfacing Treat?

Fractional laser resurfacing is an effective treatment for various skin conditions. It can treat wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, age spots, and scarring. Fractional laser resurfacing is an excellent option for those looking to reduce signs of aging in their face or other areas without surgery.

What Are the Benefits of Fractional Laser Resurfacing Treatments?

There are many benefits associated with fractional laser resurfacing treatments. Firstly, it can help restore lost collagen and elastin in the skin, which is responsible for keeping it firm and elastic. By restoring these components in the skin’s matrix, fractional laser resurfacing can give you a more youthful appearance by reducing wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Additionally, fractional laser resurfacing treatments can help improve skin tone and texture by removing damaged skin layers accumulated over time due to sun exposure or other environmental factors. The treatments are also relatively quick (taking only around 30 minutes) with little downtime afterward, so you won’t have to miss out on any critical events or activities while recovering from your treatment session.

How Does Fractional Laser Resurfacing Work?

Fractional laser resurfacing works by sending pulses of light into the surface layers of your skin. These concentrated beams of light target specific areas where damage has occurred, or signs of aging are visible. Light energy breaks down old cells deeper than traditional cosmetic procedures like chemical peels or dermabrasion, making it very effective in treating fine lines, acne scars, or other forms of scarring.

This process also helps stimulate new collagen production, which helps keep your skin looking younger for a longer time! Another benefit is that treatments are targeted only towards certain areas rather than all across the face or body, like with chemical peels or dermabrasion. There’s much less risk involved when considering this type of procedure!

What is a Fractional Laser Resurfacing Treatment Like with Us?

Fractional laser treatments are an increasingly common and popular way to treat many skin concerns like wrinkles, aging spots, sun damage, acne scars, and more. You may wonder about the process, what to expect before and after the procedure, and how long it will take for your skin to heal. Let’s take a closer look at fractional laser resurfacing treatments – from preparation to recovery time.

Consultation

If you are looking for skin rejuvenation, a fractional laser resurfacing treatment may be the right choice. During the consultation, we will review your skin concerns and provide detailed information about how this laser skin treatment works.

Treatment

Fractional laser resurfacing is a laser skin treatment that uses fractionated technology to create thousands of tiny columns of coagulated tissue in the skin. This tissue destruction eliminates old, pigmented cells and penetrates deep into the dermis, removing unwanted pigmentation.

Because this fractional treatment preserves surrounding healthy tissue, the body’s natural healing process helps to create new collagen and elastin, resulting in tighter and healthier skin. Nonetheless, optimal results typically require 4-6 treatment sessions; however, ten treatments or more may be needed to treat more severe scarring.

Recovery

Getting fractional laser resurfacing treatments are a great way to rejuvenate your skin and achieve your desired look. However, it’s normal to be slightly uncomfortable during and right after the treatment, as your skin may appear slightly red, and there could be some minor swelling depending on how sensitive your skin is.

The good news is that we adjust the laser treatment according to individuals of all skin types, so even those with more sensitive skin shouldn’t have too much to worry about – any side effects should resolve within 48 hours.

What Makes a Good Candidate for Fractional Laser Resurfacing?

A fractional laser skin treatment is an effective skin rejuvenation procedure that can help improve skin tone and texture. But only some are good candidates for this type of procedure, which makes it essential to know whether you are eligible before investing in treatment.

We will examine your skin and medical history during the consultation process to determine if fractional laser resurfacing is right for you. We’ll discuss possible results, side effects, and what you can expect from the recovery process so that you’ll be as informed as possible about making the best choice for your skincare goals.
