Fractional Laser Resurfacing in Henderson, NV — Fotona Technology

What is Fractional Laser Resurfacing?

Fractional laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that works by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This "fractional" approach allows the skin to heal much faster than traditional full-surface resurfacing while still delivering dramatic improvements in texture, tone, and overall skin quality.

Benefits of Fractional Resurfacing

• Significant reduction in age spots and sun damage
• Improved acne scars and surgical scars
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
• Smoother, more even skin texture
• Tighter, firmer skin
• Faster healing than traditional resurfacing
• Suitable for face, neck, chest, and hands

How Does Fractional Resurfacing Work?

During fractional resurfacing, the laser creates thousands of tiny, deep columns called microthermal treatment zones (MTZs) in your skin. These columns penetrate deep into the dermis while leaving the surrounding tissue completely intact. The untreated tissue serves as a reservoir of healthy cells that help accelerate the healing process.

As your skin heals, it pushes out old, damaged tissue and replaces it with fresh, new skin. The treatment also stimulates significant collagen remodeling, which continues to improve your results for months after treatment.

What Can Fractional Resurfacing Treat?

Age Spots & Sun Damage - The laser targets and eliminates pigmented lesions, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin.

Acne Scars - Fractional resurfacing is highly effective at reducing the appearance of acne scarring by remodeling the scar tissue and promoting new collagen growth.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles - By stimulating collagen production, the treatment smooths fine lines and softens deeper wrinkles over time.

Uneven Texture - The treatment creates smoother, more refined skin surface by removing damaged cells and promoting new skin growth.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

Prior to treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. During the procedure, you'll feel warmth and a prickling sensation as the laser creates the microscopic treatment zones. Treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the area.

Afterward, your skin will appear red and feel similar to a sunburn. This typically resolves over 2-5 days. You may experience mild swelling and your skin will begin to flake as the damaged tissue is replaced with new skin. Most patients can return to work within 2-3 days with makeup coverage.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients see significant improvement after 1-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on your specific concerns and desired results. Results continue to improve for 3-6 months after your final treatment as collagen remodeling occurs.
