FRACTIONAL SKIN RESURFACING

Erbium-YAG laser skin resurfacing is an effective method for improving skin texture and reducing wrinkles. This treatment uses laser energy to create controlled wounds in the skin, promoting a healing process that leads to reduced wrinkles.

In the past, ablative resurfacing treatments involved removing the entire surface of the skin, leading to long recovery times and complications. However, fractional ablative resurfacing treats only a fraction of the skin, significantly reducing recovery times and risks. This makes it a popular choice for rejuvenating photodamaged skin.

Erbium YAG fractional skin resurfacing is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that precisely targets specific areas, minimizing side effects compared to traditional methods. The treatment stimulates collagen production, reversing signs of aging and sun damage while promoting natural healing.

By removing the damaged outer layer, this procedure reveals a smoother, more youthful complexion. At Sharplight, we customize your treatment for optimal and personalized results.

FAQ’s

  • Typically, Fractionated Erbium-YAG Laser Skin Treatment could be the most suitable choice for you if:

    - You aim for optimal results and are open to undergoing 2–5 days of post-care.

    - You have fine lines and wrinkles that you wish to minimize.

    - You seek to diminish sunspots and reduce the appearance of pores.

    - You wish to decrease the visibility of acne or surgical scars.

  • Before the treatment, we administer a numbing cream to the skin, allowing it to take effect for 20-40 minutes. During the procedure, you may experience a mild to moderate sensation of heat.

  • Due to the precision of the laser energy, the level of pain and side effects is notably lower compared to other resurfacing devices.

    In the days following the treatment, you might encounter some discomfort and swelling in the treated area. Additionally, you may experience irritation, itchiness, or a mild heat sensation (resembling a sunburn) within 72 hours post-treatment.

    The healing process, which may include redness and a texture akin to sandpaper, can persist for 1–2 weeks after the treatment.

  • The number of treatments required varies based on skin condition and desired outcome. Typically 1-3 sessions of Fractional Er:Yag Laser Treatments are required. The interval between treatments is 6-8 weeks.

    Results can be refreshed on an annual basis.

  • Patients frequently observe immediate results, and the full effects become increasingly apparent as the skin's natural healing process unfolds.

    The most substantial improvements in texture, pores, wrinkles, and scars are typically noticeable within the subsequent two months.

    It's important to acknowledge that the enhancement process may extend for up to six months following the concluding treatment.
