Smooth Out the Past—One Pulse at a Time
The marks left by acne scars, surgical procedures, or skin injuries can lead to a loss of confidence. The good news is that you no longer have to live with bumpy texture or uneven skin. The most effective non-surgical option available today is fractional laser treatment.
At PrimeMedSpa, we use fractional laser technology to provide dramatic improvements in scar appearance, skin texture, and overall brightness. Here’s how it works—and why it might be the right solution for you.
What Are Fractional Lasers?
Fractional lasers are advanced tools in skin resurfacing that target small areas of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected. This “fractional” approach stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production while minimizing recovery time.
There are two main types:
- Ablative lasers (e.g., CO2): Vaporize tissue for deeper resurfacing.
- Non-ablative lasers: Heat the skin to stimulate collagen without removing tissue.
At PrimeMedSpa, we offer both options—customized to your skin type, scar severity, and recovery preferences.
How Do Fractional Lasers Help Scars?
Scars form when the skin heals from injury but doesn’t regenerate normally, leading to:
- Raised, pitted, or discolored areas
- Irregular texture
- Loss of elasticity and smoothness
Fractional lasers break down scar tissue and encourage healthier, more structured regeneration. Over time, this results in:
- Smoother skin
- Improved tone and texture
- Reduced scar depth
- Less discoloration or redness
Clinical studies show that fractional laser therapy can reduce acne scar visibility by up to 70% after several sessions.
Types of Scars Treated with Fractional Lasers
Fractional laser therapy can improve a wide range of scars, including:
- Acne scars (boxcar, ice pick, rolling scars)
- Surgical scars
- Burn scars
- Injury-related scars
- Stretch marks (in some cases)
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your scar type and skin condition to determine the best laser protocol.
What to Expect During a Fractional Laser Treatment
- Consultation: Your skin is analyzed, and a personalized plan is created.
- Preparation: A numbing cream is applied for comfort.
- Treatment: The laser is passed over the target area in short pulses.
- Aftercare: You’ll receive instructions for healing and post-treatment skincare.
Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, with most clients needing 3–6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
Downtime & Recovery
Recovery time depends on the laser type:
- Non-ablative lasers: Mild redness and swelling; back to normal in 2–3 days.
- Ablative lasers: Peeling and downtime for 5–7 days, with deeper results.
Our team will recommend the best treatment based on your goals, skin type, and lifestyle.
FAQs About Fractional Laser for Scars
1. Does it hurt?
Most clients feel only mild discomfort due to numbing cream, describing it as a warm prickling sensation.
2. Are results permanent?
Yes—once scars are smoothed, they don’t return. However, aging and sun exposure can affect skin texture over time, so maintenance may be recommended.
3. Is fractional laser safe for all skin tones?
Yes, with the right settings and technology. At PrimeMedSpa, we use FDA-cleared devices safe for various skin types.
4. Can I combine this with other treatments?
Absolutely. Fractional lasers pair well with microneedling, PRP, and chemical peels for enhanced results.
