Fractional Lasers | Pointe-Claire

These reliable, highly accurate lasers eliminate old or damaged skin cells to reveal new, radiant-looking skin while reducing the appearance of acne scars, stretchmarks, age spots and freckles. There are two categories of fractional lasers that deliver energy at various strengths (measured in joules), wavelengths (measured in nanometers) and warm-up time (measured in milliseconds). This “adaptability” presents a considerable advantage; the parameters can be set according to the extent of the damaged skin to be treated, as well as the patient’s skin type. ABLATIVE FRACTIONAL LASERS Ablative-type fractional lasers break the skin barrier and reach the dermis with wavelengths that oscillate between 2,940 and 10,600 nanometers at the more intensive end. They can cover 15 to 22% of the skin surface and are considered more aggressive—they can sometimes disrupt a patient’s social life for up to 15 days. These lasers are adept at treating thicker skin or deep acne scars and are well suited for smoothing wrinkled or rugged surfaces. At Dermapure, we prioritize CO2 and ProFractional lasers. Specific care protocols have been clearly established to maximize results and minimize discomfort while ensuring complete safety. Only our qualified medical staff is allowed to use these technologies. NON-ABLATIVE FRACTIONAL LASERS Non-ablative fractional lasers use less energy and cover less area, and produce shorter wavelengths that range from 1,440 to 1,927 nanometers. They don’t break the skin barrier and, as such, do not pose an elevated risk of hyperpigmentation. In addition, they do not interfere with a patient’s social life. However, these fractional lasers, while very gentle, are highly effective and product remarkable results in terms of overall skin tone and pore tightening. The technologies available at our clinics—Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant™ and Venus Viva™—are perfect for treating both normal and thin skin types. HYBRID LASERS Hybrid lasers such as the Halo™ , combine non-ablative laser technology with ablative laser technology. They make it possible to create controlled coagulation zones at strictly targeted skin depths. This technology, available in some of our clinics, stimulates the production of new collagen and improves the complexion, firmness and texture of the skin. In addition, this type of laser is ideal for treating normal and sensitive skin. FRACTIONAL RADIOFREQUENCY Rather than relying on laser energy, the EndyMed FSR treatment is based on the innovative use of fractional radiofrequency to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Offering the most effective depth penetration on the market (2.9 mm) and a gentle sweeping technology, EndyMed FSR has the benefit of keeping the skin upper layer undamaged significantly reducing recovery time. This treatment tightens skin texture, brightens, and evens skin tone, reduces pores, and improves skin texture and the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars. It’s safe and effective and suitable for all skin types.
