Fractional resurfacing sounds complicated and intimidating to many individuals, largely because the name doesn't fully explain the dynamic impact that this procedure can have on a person’s skin. One of the many ways in which the Aesthetic Institute of Atlantis rejuvenates people's skin is through the fractional resurfacing process. It's actually a fairly simple, straightforward, and ultimately life-changing form of facial rejuvenation that the sun-loving Florida residents love!

The fractional resurfacing process involves the use of Er:YAG Lasers. These lasers are commonly used in human skin resurfacing. The term Er:YAG refers to the chemical composition of a particular type of solid-state laser. The output of this type of laser is safer, in some instances, than that of carbon dioxide lasers. It is also readily absorbed by the water in the skin. In addition to their use for fractional resurfacing, Er:YAG lasers are particularly useful for acne treatment, anti-wrinkle treatment and melasma treatment.

There are three main benefits from the use of Fractional Er:YAG lasers:

  • Healing of The Skin: The light energy from the laser is converted into heat energy, which diminishes a thin part of your skin and triggers the healing process. New, smoother, clearer skin will grow to replace the scarred, wrinkled, or discolored skin.

  • Tightening of The Skin: In some instances, the heat from the laser is used simply to tighten the skin. This freshens the appearance of aging skin.
  • Shorter Downtime & Side Effects: Advances in resurfacing, thanks to fractional lasers, mean that recovery is fairly quick, and skin typically only looks a bit sunburnt after the procedure. Topical creams can help expedite the healing process.

Once you're ready to revitalize your skin, you'll want to consider fractional resurfacing. No matter your age, you can benefit from the improvements it will make in the radiance and smoothness of your face.
