Fractional Lasers Vancouver

Fractional lasers are a category of non-surgical laser treatments offered at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver. They create controlled columns of micro-injury in the skin while leaving healthy tissue between treatment points, triggering the body’s natural repair response and supporting collagen production in the deeper layers.

Fractional lasers can address fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and other types of scarring, uneven skin texture, pigment irregularities and the visible signs of sun damage on the face, neck, décolleté and selected body areas. The treatment may be received as a series of sessions and can be paired with complementary in-clinic options such as PRP, exosome therapy or medical-grade skincare protocols, depending on individual goals and skin type.

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, fractiofnal lasers at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver always begin with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether a fractional laser treatment is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

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.
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.
