Fractional Laser Treatments

The common feature of these lasers is that the beam sent is converted into heat energy right at the surface of the skin, without going to the deep tissues, and performs peeling or superficial ablation of the skin.

In addition to the wavelength of the laser used, there are many parameters that need to be adjusted, such as how much energy each shot of the beam will contain, how frequently beams will be sent per unit area, and the diameter of the beam sent.

With developing technology, these parameters can be adjusted to a high level. By making suitable settings, a superficial peel can be performed on the upper layers of the skin, making it possible to get rid of spots on the skin. Or, using the same laser system, a tightening effect can be created in the skin by stimulating connective tissue cells without causing damage to the skin. With lasers made to scan a certain area automatically (with the fractional feature), even though a deeper burning capability is used, the healing process is shortened because the burning is done leaving healthy tissue in between. Thanks to this, these lasers can now be used both for peeling the whole face and for reducing poorly healed scars. When made to fire continuously, it becomes possible to cut tissues with a very fine beam without allowing bleeding in the tissues.
