Laser Skin Resurfacing (Fractional)
Fotona laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin, improve its texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. By using a controlled fractional laser to target specific layers of skin, Fotona promotes collagen remodeling and enhances skin elasticity, leading to smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin. The benefits of this treatment include minimal downtime, a lower risk of side effects compared to traditional methods, and the ability to customize the procedure based on skin type and treatment goals. With continued collagen production stimulated over time, patients often experience lasting improvements in skin tone, clarity, and resilience.

Typically 30-60 minutes per session.
DOWNTIME
3-7 days of manageable redness and peeling.
SESSIONS REQUIRED
1-3 sessions may be needed for optimal results.

Our state-of-the-art Er:YAG laser system utilizes fractional laser photothermolysis to achieve exceptional results. This innovative technique creates microscopic wounds in the skin, promoting rapid healing and collagen remodeling. The laser energy is delivered in a controlled pattern, allowing for precise treatment tailored to your specific concerns.
During the treatment, you may experience a mild tingling or warmth as the laser energy is applied to your skin. Afterward, you may notice some redness and peeling, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after treatment, with minimal downtime.
The number of sessions needed depends on your individual skin concerns and goals. While some patients may achieve satisfactory results with just one session, others may benefit from multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal outcomes. During your consultation, we will assess your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Yes, our advanced laser technology is safe and effective for a wide range of skin types and tones. Whether you have fair or dark skin, our fractional laser system can be customized to address your specific concerns while minimizing the risk of side effects or complications.
After discussing your needs with your skin technician, they will tailor the energy level of your Fotona™ Fractional Resurfacing treatment to suit your skin concerns and accommodate your schedule. Whether you prefer a gradual approach with minimal downtime (just some redness for about a day) or a more intensive treatment for deeper resurfacing when you have extra time, they will create a plan that works best for you.
Post-treatment, expect around 48 hours of redness similar to a sunburn. To ease discomfort, you can apply cold vinegar compresses and take Tylenol every 4 hours if needed. Redness will begin to fade after about 36 hours, and abnormal skin cells will gradually peel off. On day 7, a light exfoliation can help smooth the peeling skin.
While laser skin resurfacing is generally safe, some temporary side effects may occur, including redness, swelling, and peeling. These effects typically subside within a few days to a week. To minimize the risk of complications, it’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your skincare specialist.
The longevity of results depends on several factors, including your skin’s natural aging process, sun exposure, and skincare routine. While laser resurfacing can provide significant improvement in the appearance of your skin, it’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle and protect your skin from sun damage to prolong the results.
At Vancouver Medi Spa, we generally avoid spot treating individual areas. If you have acne scars, it’s likely you also have larger pores and textural imperfections that would benefit from comprehensive treatment. Our goal is to enhance the overall texture and tone of your entire face, ensuring a balanced and uniform improvement rather than focusing on just one area.
