Fractional Lasers Edmonton
Fractional lasers are a category of non-invasive resurfacing treatments offered at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton. The technology creates microscopic columns of controlled treatment within the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact, supporting the natural healing response and stimulating collagen renewal.
Fractional lasers can help address texture irregularities, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, pigment spots and dullness on the face and other treatable areas, with parameters adjusted to skin type and the depth of the concern. Different categories of fractional lasers are available with varying intensity and recovery, and the treatment may be received on its own or as part of a personalized plan that pairs it with complementary in-clinic options such as medical-grade skincare protocols.
Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, fractional lasers at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton always begin with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether fractional lasers are the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results, the recovery and the possible side effects.

Applying adapted products
Applying a specific cream immediately after the treatment is not always necessary; each technology requires different follow-up and post-treatment procedures that are carefully explained to the patient by our medical and technical team. These recommendations must be strictly followed to allow the skin to recover properly. Swelling, redness, and sometimes even bleeding can be expected during the first 48 hours; these symptoms decrease significantly in 5 to 10 days. Normal skin flaking/peeling occurs at the end of recovery and it is imperative that you avoid sunlight, makeup and all scented products until your skin has fully healed.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
It normally takes 2 to 5 sessions at a minimum one-month interval to achieve optimal results, depending on the initial condition of your skin. However, it is strongly recommended to maintain the overall health of the epidermis using glycolic peels occasionally, or as part of a course of treatment, based on your technician’s recommendations. Skin treated by fractional laser is not exempt from the natural aging process! Other parts of the body can benefit from Venus Freeze sessions.
Contraindications
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should delay this type of treatment. Some treatments for severe acne – received within the last 6 months – may also be a contraindication.
