Fractional ablative lasers target thousands of pinpoint areas in the skin. Healing of each pinpoint addresses skin problems such as photo damage, poor skin tone and texture, wrinkles and scars.
The zones of untreated skin invigorate the body's natural healing process, and the treated areas stimulate production of new collagen, plumping up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles, lines, scars and other irregularities.
By delivering energy deep into the dermal tissue, fractional resurfacing selectively injures collagen molecules, causing wound-healing response and stimulating fibrolast activity. Fibroblasts turn on new collagen production, rejuvenating the collagen matrix and plumping the skin from the inside out.
