Treatment Process
Fractional laser treatment requires specialized medical personnel, who follow the following steps:
Anesthetic Cream: Before the treatment, a local anesthetic is applied to the patient's skin, in order to reduce the burning sensation in the area during the application of the laser.
Laser application: The doctor adjusts the laser according to the needs of the skin and the aesthetic effect we want to achieve, and the size of the damage to the skin and then applies it to the corresponding areas, guiding it with great precision.
Recovery: At the end of the treatment, the skin shows an expected redness and for this soothing creams are applied, as well as the corresponding recovery instructions are given by the doctor, which should be followed for the next period. Recovery after fractional laser is usually simple. Patients may feel a slight burning sensation for a few hours, but these symptoms subside quickly. Doctors usually recommend using sunscreen and moisturizer to properly protect the skin.
Recovery: The recovery time from the session may vary depending on the skin type and the severity of the problem. But usually, it takes about 1 week of recovery.
The Fractional Laser can be applied in a targeted manner, only in the affected area, without affecting the rest of the skin, thus significantly reducing the recovery time.Results & Benefits of Fractional Laser
