A “fractional” laser basically splits up a beam of laser light into several hundred smaller spots when the laser hits the skin. This creates a “pixilated” area of ablation. This is a very intelligent way of delivery as the normal skin between the ablated areas allow faster healing and recovery.
Fractional Lasers are staples in Aesthetic Medicine. Any laser that has come along in the past is being fractionated. From Erbiums to CO2, from Nd-Yags to Diodes, and from highly ablative to completely not ablative one.
There are also fractional devices that are non-lasers. Like the Fractional RF and micro-focused ultrasound. And of course our Microneedling RF.
Non-invasive & Non-surgical
There are of course many types of acne scars. Some are pretty shallow like a rolling hilly terrain. Others are like a crater (box cart scars) or like holes chiseled into skin by an ice-pick (ice-pick scars). The shallow scars respond very well and will lighten somewhat 3 treatments of the Microneedling RF.
The deeper ones may lighten less – about 40% to 50% – after 3 treatments. Ice-pick scars are the hardest to treat. Subcision and bio-stimulators may be needed.
