Fractional Laser
Renew and Rejuvenate Your Skin at Sunset Medspa
​
Fractional skin resurfacing utilizes laser technology to create microscopic injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, which treats the entire skin surface, fractional lasers target only a fraction of the skin. This approach promotes faster recovery while still delivering effective results.
​
-
Minimally Invasive: As highlighted by the American Academy of Dermatology, the procedure is less invasive than traditional resurfacing methods, resulting in less downtime and quicker recovery.
-
Customizable Treatment: The treatment can be tailored to meet individual skin needs, allowing practitioners to adjust the intensity and depth of the laser based on the patient’s specific concerns, as explained by Cleveland Clinic.
-
Improvement in Skin Texture and Tone: Many patients report noticeable improvements in skin texture, pigmentation, and overall tone after just a few sessions.
-
Collagen Stimulation: Fractional lasers stimulate collagen production, which can help improve skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging over time. This is supported by information from the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.
-
Reduced Risk of Side Effects: Because the procedure targets only a fraction of the skin, there is a lower risk of complications compared to full-field laser treatments, making it a safer option for many patients.
