As more people embrace non-surgical skin treatments, fractional skin resurfacing treatments have become popular and a non-surgical option for individuals concerned about skin texture and tone. Fractional resurfacing treatments for the skin may be considered by individuals concerned about skin texture, tone or scarring with minimal recovery downtime or side effects.
Fractional skin resurfacing is a non-surgical treatment that aims to support the skin’s natural renewal process by using laser or radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen production. Some of the potential skin concerns that can be supported by laser skin surfacing are acne scarring, stretch marks, wrinkles and more.
For patients looking for fractional skin surfacing in Sydney or around NSW, you can visit My Cosmetic clinic in 6 locations at Castle Hill, Crows Nest, Erina, Newcastle, Rosebery and Wollongong.
Fractional skin resurfacing, or the Endymed Fractional Skin Resurfacing, is a controlled skin treatment that uses radiofrequency or laser technology to deliver targeted energy to the skin’s surface and deeper layers. The treatment creates microscopic treatment zones, which create controlled microthermal zones in the skin, which may stimulate collagen production.
Unlike traditional resurfacing methods, which treat the entire skin surface, fractional skin resurfacing treatment selectively targets small areas while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This approach may assist in faster recovery while maintaining the integrity of the skin that are unaffected.
There are different factors that take a toll on skin over time. Some of these may include pollution, UV rays, hormones, genetics, and other factors that may affect the skin’s health. However, laser resurfacing may assist in improving the appearance of skin affected by environmental or intrinsic ageing factors.
