Fractional laser treatment is a non-invasive treatment that delivers laser beam divided into thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment zones that target a fraction of skin at a time.
Light energy is absorbed by water and substances in skin called chromophores.
The light energy is changed into heat energy, and the heat then destroys thin sections of skin.
The fractional laser targets and treats within these zones without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue, thus the healing time is less.
As the wounded area heals, new skin grows to replace the damaged skin.
Even with realistic expectations, patients see results after several weeks or months after laser for scars.
