Fractional laser is an application that is effective in the upper and lower layers of the skin, anti-aging, wrinkles, acne and scars such as scars and age-related skin problems in the treatment of age-related skin problems.
Fractional laser is especially used in the treatment of acne scars on the upper skin. Apart from this, fractional laser is also effective in problems such as wounds, burns, surgical scars, body cracks.
How is it applied?
In this application, CO 2 carbon dioxide fractional laser is mostly used. Carbon dioxide laser has an important place in skin treatments in recent years. It is a type of laser that can create positive effects on the skin and can penetrate deeper layers of the skin due to its technical feature.
Fractional lasers send laser light to the skin in tiny diameter columns. Laser beams cause heat damage to the skin. The skin areas around these columnar damage areas remain intact. The heat damaged area is rapidly repaired with cells from the surrounding intact skin. In this way, skin regeneration is ensured.
How Many Sessions Should Be Performed?
Although the number of sessions varies according to the condition of the complaint on the skin, generally at least 3-5 sessions are performed. Session intervals can be between 3-8 weeks. Some patients may feel discomfort during the application. It is possible to relieve discomfort with local anaesthetic creams. There may be slight redness on the skin after the procedure, but it decreases and passes within 3-7 days.
When is the effect seen?
Although there is an immediate improvement due to oedema and collagen shortening after fractional laser, the actual effects are seen after the third month. It is necessary to wait for the 6th month for the full results of the procedure to appear.
Can it be used together with other methods?
One of the important advantages of fractional laser is that it can be combined with other applications. It is possible to obtain more effective results in scar, wrinkle and sagging treatments by using PRP, mesotherapy and filling methods.
