What advantage does a fractional laser offer compared to traditional lasers?

A fractional laser offers a significant advantage in that it treats only a fraction of the skin at a time. This targeted approach creates micro-injuries while leaving surrounding skin intact, facilitating faster healing and reducing downtime for the patient. The intact skin helps to accelerate the healing process and promotes quicker recovery compared to traditional lasers, which may treat the entire area at once, resulting in longer healing times and increased risk of complications.

This method allows for multiple treatments with gradual improvements, making it effective for addressing skin texture, wrinkles, and other concerns while minimizing risks associated with more extensive treatments. This makes fractional lasers particularly appealing for patients seeking rejuvenation without the extended recovery period associated with traditional laser treatments.
