What is Fractional Laser?
Fractional laser is an advanced laser technology used to treat spots, wrinkles and scars on the skin. This treatment method encourages skin renewal by causing micro damage to the lower layers of the skin. Fractional laser is particularly effective in the treatment of skin spots, acne scars, sun spots and fine wrinkles. Thanks to the renewal provided by the laser, the skin gains a smoother and younger appearance.
How Does Fractional Laser Work?
Fractional laser creates microscopic damage to the tissues under the skin by sending tiny laser beams to certain areas of the skin. These small points of damage activate the body's self-renewal mechanisms and help the formation of new, healthy skin cells. Fractional laser provides healing in the lower layers without damaging the skin surface, thus providing a faster recovery process after treatment.
Effect of Fractional Laser in Spot Treatment
One of the biggest advantages of fractional laser is that it targets the area where the spots are located and treats these spots directly. Laser beams focus on areas where pigments are dense and lighten the color of these pigments over time. Effective results can be achieved especially in problems such as sun spots, aging spots, and acne scars. Fractional laser lightens the appearance of spots and makes the skin tone more homogeneous.
Treatment Process and Sessions
Fractional laser treatment usually requires several sessions. A certain period of time is left between sessions because the skin needs to heal while it enters the renewal process. The duration of each session is usually between 20-30 minutes and varies depending on the treatment area. The number of sessions is determined by the dermatologist according to the type of spot treated and the needs of the skin. Fractional laser treatment can usually leave a slight redness and crust on the skin, but this disappears within a few days.
Fractional Laser Post-Care
The skin may become sensitive after treatment, so it is important to pay attention to certain care steps. Using a high protection factor sunscreen before sun exposure prevents spots from reoccurring on the skin. In addition, keeping the treated area clean and using a moisturizer speeds up the healing process. The effects of fractional laser treatment are seen over time and a significant improvement is noticed on the skin within a few weeks.
Advantages of Fractional Laser Spot Treatment
Fast Healing Process: Compared to other laser methods, fractional laser is less invasive and the skin healing process takes a shorter time.
Deep Effect: Fractional laser provides permanent results by creating a deep effect on the tissues under the skin.
Low Risk: Since fractional laser is effective only on the lower layers without damaging the skin surface, the risk of complications is lower.
Natural Appearance: After the treatment, the skin renews naturally, which provides a smoother and more homogeneous skin tone.
Who is Suitable for?
Fractional laser treatment is generally suitable for people aged 18 and over. Those who have problems such as spots, fine wrinkles, acne scars or sun spots on the skin may benefit from this treatment method. However, laser treatment is not recommended for people with active acne or skin infections. Before starting the treatment, it is helpful to consult a dermatologist to determine if it is suitable for your skin type.
