What is Fractional Resurfacing?
Fractional resurfacing, sometimes called fractional laser resurfacing or laser skin resurfacing, is a skin treatment that improves texture, tone, and overall skin quality by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
These tiny treatment zones stimulate collagen production and encourage the skin to heal itself, helping soften fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and uneven texture. It’s called “fractional” because only a fraction of the skin is treated at once, making recovery more manageable while still getting noticeable, long-term improvements.

fractional resurfacing FAQs
Q. How many sessions will I need to see noticeable results?
The number of sessions depends on the area being treated and your skin concerns. Typically, smaller areas like the face require 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, while larger areas or deeper skin issues may need 6–8 sessions. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan for best results.
Q. How long do the results last?
Results can last for several months to a few years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow post-treatment care. Periodic maintenance sessions are recommended to keep your skin smooth, even, and radiant.
Q. Is fractional resurfacing painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate heat or tingling. We use numbing creams to minimize discomfort, and the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Any redness or mild swelling usually subsides within a few days.
Q. Can fractional resurfacing be done on all skin types?
Yes, but we tailor settings to your specific skin type to minimize risks of pigmentation changes or irritation. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and recommend the safest, most effective approach.
Q. How long is the downtime after treatment?
Downtime varies depending on the intensity of your session. For lighter treatments, you may have 1–2 days of mild redness and flaking. Deeper sessions may require 3–7 days of visible peeling and redness. Most clients return to normal activities within a week.
Q. Can I combine fractional resurfacing with other treatments?
Yes, many clients combine it with treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or microneedling for enhanced results. We’ll guide you on safe timing and combinations to maximize your skin’s rejuvenation.
Q. Can I wear makeup after fractional resurfacing?
We recommend waiting at least 24–48 hours before applying makeup on the treated area, depending on the intensity of your session. Your skin may be red, sensitive, or slightly peeling right after treatment, so giving it time to calm helps prevent irritation. When you do resume makeup, use gentle, non-comedogenic products and avoid heavy or abrasive formulas for a few days.
