Fractional lasers come in three main forms. Ablative fractional lasers, such as CO2 and Er:YAG, vaporize the tissue within each column and renew the surface itself: a more intensive option, often considered for deeper acne scars and more pronounced texture, which involves more recovery time. Non-ablative fractional lasers heat the deeper layers without breaking the surface, supporting smoother texture and more even tone with little to no downtime. Hybrid lasers, such as Halo, combine both types of energy in the same session to support visible improvement while keeping recovery shorter than fully ablative treatment. Your specialist will recommend the most appropriate option based on your skin, your concerns and your goals.

What to expect during your session

Step 1

Applying an anesthetic gel

Desensitizing the skin with a lidocaine-based anesthetic gel will reduce discomfort felt during treatment. This product is applied to and left on clean skin for approximately 1 hour before treatment to temporarily desensitize the treatment area.

Step 2

Cleaning and disinfecting the skin

Carefully removing all traces of gel, makeup and lipid film is an essential first step in your fractional laser treatment. It is also important to properly disinfect the skin using alcohol to create a suitable sterile surface before the start of the procedure.

Step 3

Proper eye protection

Depending on the technology used, protective eyewear may be required to properly protect your eyes from possible light emissions. Your eye protection ensures complete safety at all times.

Step 4

Setting device parameters

Determining the specific parameters for the treatment will ensure its success. Since each individual is unique, each condition must be treated differently depending on the area to be treated, the surface and outline of blemishes to be corrected, and skin type. Staff should consider several factors that are unique to you and that may change over time. Deep acne scars or stretchmarks will probably require more work than a simple pass over superficial freckles. The good news is that once your skin has regenerated, the results will remain with you for the rest of your life.

Step 5

Delivering energy

Feeling the applicator tip sliding over your skin can be relatively uncomfortable. By their very nature, fractional lasers are reasonably invasive treatments that sometimes cause a strong heat/burning sensation. Depending on the technology used, several passes may—or may not—be required on the same area and, given the depths attained in some cases, bleeding may also occur (especially during CO2 and ProFractional lasers). The session rarely exceeds 60 minutes and our experienced medical and technical personnel make every effort to minimize discomfort and accompany you throughout the treatment.

Step 6

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.
