Fractional resurfacing is done using a device called Halo. This device, which is a fractional laser, delivers precise microbeams of laser light to the lower layers of the skin. This creates deep, narrow columns of tissue coagulation. This stimulates the area to start its natural healing process, growing new, healthy tissue and boosting collagen production in the treated area.
Our faces aren’t the only place signs of aging can occur. The neck, hands, chest, and arms can all start to change with age. Fractional resurfacing can be used in all these areas, helping patients look their best, no matter where their problem area is.
There are many benefits
There are many reasons patients choose to have fractional resurfacing in addition to getting younger-looking skin.
First, it is noninvasive with little downtime. Patients don’t have to undergo surgery, which is invasive, costly, and can leave them out of work for weeks. After fractional resurfacing, patients can return to activities, though they will need to protect their skin for the first 24 hours.
Second, it is virtually pain-free. A topical anesthetic and integrated cooling technology are used to minimize any discomfort a patient may feel. Though many patients will feel heat with the occasional prickling sensation during treatment, it should not be painful. After your treatment, the area that was worked on may feel slightly warm, but again, should not be painful for patients and will fade within the day.
