Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment in Delhi

Laser Resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the skin by removing the outer layers and stimulating the underlying skin to produce new, smoother skin. This treatment is particularly effective for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and age spots, as well as improving skin texture and tone.

How Laser Resurfacing
Works

The procedure works by using concentrated beams of laser energy to target damaged skin cells, promoting collagen production and encouraging the growth of fresh, healthy skin. As the skin heals, it becomes firmer, more even-toned, and more youthful in appearance.

Laser resurfacing can be performed using different types of lasers, including ablative lasers, which remove thin layers of skin for more dramatic results, and non-ablative lasers, which work beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen without removing outer layers.

1. Ablative Lasers

These lasers remove the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and a portion of the underlying dermis, stimulating collagen production.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers and erbium (Er:YAG) lasers are common types.

Ablative lasers are more aggressive, providing more dramatic results but requiring longer recovery times.

They are effective for deeper wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars.

2. Non-Ablative Lasers

These lasers work by targeting deeper layers of the skin without removing the outer layer.

Fractional lasers are a type of non-ablative laser that creates tiny columns of injury in the skin, leaving surrounding areas untouched. This stimulates collagen production and helps improve skin texture and tone with minimal downtime.

Suitable for milder skin issues, fine lines, and superficial acne scars.

Benefits

Improved Skin Appearance

Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
Minimizes acne scars, surgical scars, and other skin imperfections.

Collagen Production

Stimulates collagen growth, which helps improve skin elasticity and firmness over time.
Non-ablative lasers can achieve these benefits with little to no downtime.

Long-Lasting Results

Effects can be long-lasting, depending on the depth of treatment and aftercare.
Results typically become more noticeable as new collagen forms over time.

What is Laser Resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses laser energy to remove damaged skin layers, stimulating collagen production and revealing smoother, younger-looking skin.

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and other scars
Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
Sun damage
Age spots and freckles
Enlarged pores
Skin laxity and rough texture

How does Laser Resurfacing work?

The laser targets the outer layer of skin (ablative) or heats the deeper layers (non-ablative), prompting skin renewal and collagen regeneration for a tighter, smoother complexion.

What are the different types of Laser Resurfacing?

Ablative lasers (e.g., CO2, Erbium) remove layers of skin for deep resurfacing.
Non-ablative lasers (e.g., Fraxel) heat the skin without removing layers, promoting collagen production with minimal downtime.
Fractional lasers treat small areas in a grid pattern, speeding up healing while delivering powerful results.

Is Laser Resurfacing safe?

Yes, when performed by a qualified professional, laser resurfacing is a safe and effective procedure. Downtime and side effects vary depending on the laser type and individual skin sensitivity.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions depends on the skin concern and laser type:

Ablative lasers: 1-2 treatments with longer recovery.
Non-ablative lasers: 3-5 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart.

How long does a Laser Resurfacing session take?

A typical session lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and laser type.

Does Laser Resurfacing hurt?

Mild discomfort is common. Topical numbing cream is usually applied to minimize pain. Some patients describe the sensation as a mild stinging or warming feeling.

What is the recovery time for Laser Resurfacing?

Ablative lasers: 1-2 weeks of downtime (redness, peeling, swelling).
Non-ablative lasers: Minimal downtime (redness for a few hours to a couple of days).

For at least 1-2 weeks, avoid:

Direct sun exposure (always wear SPF 30+)
Harsh skincare products (retinoids, acids, exfoliants)
Excessive sweating and strenuous workouts
Makeup (for a few days, depending on your provider's instructions)

When will I see results?

Initial improvements are visible within a few days to weeks.
Full results develop over 3-6 months as collagen production increases.

How long do the results last?

Results can last several months to years, depending on skincare routine, sun protection, and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments may be recommended annually.

Is Laser Resurfacing suitable for all skin types?

Certain lasers work better for specific skin types. People with darker skin tones should consult with an expert to avoid pigmentation risks.
