Effective Fractional Laser Therapy in Sydney

About the treatment

Fractional treatment pierces thousands of invisible microscopic laser columns into the skin, causing the new formation of collagen through heat and light energy. The body’s innate healing response is activated, which initiates an influx of new protein. From here, damaged cells are replaced with younger, smoother, and healthier skin. Best results are seen six to eight weeks after treatment.

Erbium (Non-Ablative Laser)

Fractional Erbium Laser is a non-ablative laser that works to improve skin texture and re-model collagen fibres. It helps to replace old skin cells with new ones.

The laser delivers the light in a fractional pattern, creating microscopic zones of treatment surrounded by untreated areas. This allows for faster healing and reduces the risk of side effects. Our erbium lasers are generally safer for darker skin tones compared to other ablative lasers such as DEKA.

DEKA (Ablative Laser)

Deka Fractional CO2 Laser Technology offers precise control with multiple pulse options, which allows to target specifics depths and stimulate collagen product. By tailoring the pulse type to the treated area, you can achieve various results, from treating delicate areas like the neck and eyelids to addressing complex concerns like scars, pigmentation, and deep static lines.

What Conditions Can Be Treated with Fractional Laser?

Acne scars: Fractional lasers can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars by stimulating the production of collagen, which can fill in the scar tissue.

Uneven skin tone: Fractional lasers can help to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone by targeting areas of hyperpigmentation (dark spots).
