Health Skin is In
If your skin feels rough, uneven, or marked by years of sun exposure or past breakouts, fractionated laser resurfacing offers a powerful yet surprisingly gentle way to refresh your complexion. At YAKER Hair Restoration + Med Spa, we use advanced fractional laser technology to deliver exceptional resurfacing results—often with far less downtime than traditional lasers.
Think of this treatment like aerating a lawn: tiny micro-channels are created in the skin, while the surrounding tissue remains intact. This sparks a natural healing response that builds fresh collagen, tightens the skin, smooths texture, and gradually restores a more youthful, healthy glow. You get the benefits of deep rejuvenation without the weeks of recovery associated with older, fully ablative lasers.
What Fractionated Laser Resurfacing Can Improve
This treatment is ideal for patients who want noticeable improvement in skin quality without aggressive, extended downtime. It effectively treats:
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Fine lines and deeper age lines
- Melasma (select cases)
- Sunspots and sun damage
- Crepey or thinning skin
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Enlarged pores
Whether your concerns are related to aging, hormones, or old injuries, this laser helps rebuild the skin from within.
How It Works
Fractionated laser energy creates thousands of microscopic treatment channels in the skin. These tiny, controlled injuries trigger your body to remodel collagen—your skin’s natural support structure.
Here’s what happens behind the scenes:
- Micro-ablation: The laser precisely removes micro-columns of damaged skin.
- Collagen remodeling: Your body responds by producing fresh collagen and elastin.
- Skin renewal: New, healthier skin cells rise to the surface, improving texture, firmness, and clarity.
Over time, your skin continues to improve as collagen production increases. Many patients describe the result as their skin looking plumper, smoother, and more even.
What to Expect After Treatment
Recovery varies slightly from person to person, but most patients notice a predictable timeline:
- Immediately after: Skin feels warm—similar to a sunburn. Mild redness is normal
- Day 1: Light peeling or flaking may begin, along with mild tightness or itchiness
- Day 2: Redness starts to fade. Skin feels drier as it heals
- Days 3–7: Continued improvement as fresh, new skin appears
Most patients are comfortable returning to normal routines within 2–7 days, depending on treatment depth.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Your treatment plan is customized based on your goals and the severity of your concerns.
Typical recommendations:
- 1–4 sessions
- Spaced 3–6 weeks apart
We often enhance results by combining fractionated resurfacing with a NanoLaser Peel, which smooths the skin’s surface and accelerates overall brightness.
When Will I See Results?
You’ll start noticing changes within 2–5 days, once the initial redness and peeling subside.
What makes this treatment especially appealing is that results don’t stop there:
- Pigmentation continues improving for 2–3 weeks
- Collagen remodeling progresses for several months
- Skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant
It’s a treatment that not only fixes what you see now, but also improves what you’ll see later.
