What areas can I have treated?

What makes the Fractional non-ablative treatments different from other Skin Resurfacing methods? 

Some skin resurfacing devices, such as CO2 lasers, use the ablative method, which removes the epidermis and some of the dermis. While good results are eventually seen the drawbacks include red and raw skin, down time and a risk of infection for several weeks after treatment. Our device uses the non-ablative method: sending light pulses into the epidermis and dermis, while leaving the stratum corneum in place. This allows quick recovery. 

Are these treatments painful? What should I expect after treatment? 

You may experience redness, warmth , swelling or tightness in the treated area, which typically fades within a few hours of treatment. The skin may often have a pinkish tone for -7 days.Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or other activities without any recovery time. With our “easier on the skin” fractional non-ablative processes, the light pulses are confined to narrow columns in the skin, allowing for a quick healing process.Some people notice positive changes in skin appearance within a few days.

A series of treatments at 3-6 intervals may be required to achieve the desired results. Your treatment provider will be able to give you more information about The Fractional non-ablative Skin Resurfacing treatment and expected outcomes.
