Fractional laser
Unlike with selective Photothermolysis, where the whole of the selected target area is damaged, “Fractional Photothermolysis” seeks to only damage certain zones within the selected target area (producing tiny dot, or pixel-like treated areas on the skin), leaving the other zones within it perfectly intact. As a result, there is only fractional damage through the heat of the light source. This allows the skin to heal much faster than if the whole area was treated, as the ‘healthy’ untreated tissue surrounding the treated zones helps to fill in the damaged area with new cells.

Fractional Photothermolysis or Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing can therefore be compared to the precise alteration of digital photographs that we are able to do nowadays - pixel by pixel.
The concept of this fractional laser technology can be applied with either ablative laser resurfacing or non-ablative laser skin rejuvenation, using the various different wavelengths of lasers available.

Fractional laser is used to treat acne scars, post surgical scars, trauma, wrinkles, melasma and chicken pox. It is a very safe procedure that ensures minimal complications yet providing the highest degree of skin texture improvement...
