Introduction to Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Fractional laser resurfacing is a dermatological treatment offered by Dr. Kumar at the Skin Hair and Laser Clinic. This advanced technology is designed to rejuvenate the skin by addressing various imperfections, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation issues, and uneven skin texture. Unlike traditional laser treatments, fractional lasers work by targeting only a fraction of the skin at a time, creating microscopic treatment zones that leave surrounding tissue intact. This promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of side effects, making it a highly effective and safe option for skin rejuvenation.
How Fractional Laser Resurfacing Works
Fractional lasers deliver high-intensity light energy into the skin in a grid-like pattern. The laser beams create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the treated area, known as microthermal zones. These zones penetrate deep into the dermal layers, where they stimulate the body's natural healing process. As the skin repairs itself, it produces new collagen and elastin, essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness.
The fractional nature of the treatment allows for precise targeting of specific skin concerns while leaving the surrounding tissue undisturbed. This approach not only speeds up the recovery process but also reduces the likelihood of complications such as hyperpigmentation or prolonged redness.
Benefits of Fractional Laser Resurfacing
1. Skin Rejuvenation: Fractional lasers are highly effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. The treatment promotes collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
2. Improvement of Acne Scars: Fractional laser resurfacing is one of the most effective treatments for acne scars. By breaking down scar tissue and promoting the formation of healthy skin, it significantly improves skin texture and reduces the depth of scars.
3. Pigmentation Correction: The treatment can also address hyperpigmentation, melasma, and age spots. The laser energy targets the pigment in the skin, breaking it down and allowing it to be naturally eliminated by the body.
4. Even Skin Tone and Texture: Fractional laser resurfacing helps to even out skin tone and texture by stimulating the growth of new skin cells. This results in a smoother, more uniform complexion.
5. Minimal Downtime: Unlike traditional ablative laser treatments, fractional laser resurfacing involves less downtime. Most patients experience mild redness and swelling for a few days, after which they can return to their normal activities.
The Treatment Process
1. Consultation: The process begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Kumar. During this session, your skin concerns and goals will be discussed, and a personalized treatment plan will be created.

2. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
3. Laser Application: Dr. Kumar will use the fractional laser device to deliver precise pulses of laser energy to the targeted areas. The treatment typically takes between 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and severity of the area being treated.
4. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, a soothing ointment may be applied to the treated skin. Patients will receive detailed aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using Dr Kumar's skincare products, and applying sunscreen regularly.
What to Expect After Treatment
- Immediate Effects: The skin may appear red and swollen immediately after the treatment, similar to a sunburn. This is a normal response and usually subsides within a few days.
- Peeling and Flaking: As the skin begins to heal, you may experience mild peeling or flaking. This is the old, damaged skin being replaced by new, healthy skin.
- Results: Noticeable improvements can be seen within a week, with continued enhancement over the next few months as collagen production increases. The full benefits of the treatment are typically observed after 2-3 sessions, spaced several weeks apart.
