Fractional Laser Resurfacing
As a person ages, their collagen production begins to decline, which leads to a gradual breakdown of the skin's underlying support structure. Daily exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays and other elements can cause the skin to become discolored and premature wrinkles may start to show.
What is Fractional Laser Resurfacing Used to Treat?
Fractional laser resurfacing eliminates fine wrinkles, acne scars and brown spots as well as tightening and rejuvenating the skin. This innovative treatment method can reverse early signs of facial aging and restore a fresh youthful look to your skin. Most patients say they look five to 10 years younger within one week of the procedure. These effects can last up to one year after treatment as long as good techniques in skin protection and an overall healthy skincare regimen are regularly practiced.
