Fractional Laser Resurfacing

The skin rejuvenation experts at Pima Dermatology know that wrinkles and irregular skin texture can make your skin appear dull and lackluster. That’s why our board-certified dermatologists offer fractional laser skin resurfacing as an effective way to refresh your skin and to restore a youthful, radiant appearance.

What is Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing?

When it comes to fractional laser skin resurfacing, the name itself helps tell the story. Fractional laser skin resurfacing allows for the precise targeting of specific areas, or fractions, of the skin. Think of it as islands (the treated areas) surrounded by the waters of the sea (the untouched areas). During this procedure, only the targeted areas are affected, leaving surrounding areas of your skin untouched.

Fractional laser skin resurfacing uses computer-aided technology to penetrate beneath the skin’s surface, and usually results in less discomfort than standard laser resurfacing. The ultimate result is faster healing and less downtime.
