What are Fractional Lasers?

Fractional lasers are resurfacing lasers that benefit the skin by creating columns of thermal damage in the skin. Fractional laser technology works by delivering a series of microbeams deep into the skin. These microbeams create controlled columns of thermal damage, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and triggering the production of collagen and elastin. This process helps to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation irregularities. By creating columns, as opposed to allover damage, the skin is able to heal itself and regenerate itself, leading to the appearance of a revitalized complexion. Fractional lasers target both the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin) and dermis (beneath the epidermis) to reduce pigment and stimulate collagen formation. The columns of injury are interspersed with areas of normal skin, which helps speed up wound healing, decrease side effects, and reduce downtime.

Would you like smooth and rejuvenated skin? At Aphrodite Laser Skincare, we use the Frax 1940, a non-ablative laser that is highly effective in laser skin resurfacing for texture, and mild to moderate wrinkles. Unlike ablative lasers, which break the surface of the skin, the non-ablative lasers keep the skin intact, making the healing process quick and comfortable.

What to Expect

Pre-Treatment Consultation

Consultation: Schedule a pre-treatment consultation with one of our medical providers. During this consultation, your medical provider will assess your skin, discuss your goals and expectations, review your medical history to determine if the Frax 1940 is right for you.
Sun Protection: Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds leading up to your treatment.
Avoid certain medications and products. Inform your medical provider about any medications, supplements, or topical products that you are currently using. Certain topical medication such as retinoids may be paused temporarily to reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
Skincare Routine: Follow a gentle skincare routine leading up to the treatment. Avoid harsh exfoliants, chemical peels or aggressive skincare treatments that may sensitize the skin or compromise the integrity.

Your Appointment

Arrival and Check-In: Upon arrival at our clinic, you will be warmly greeted by our friendly staff. They will guide you through the check-in process, ensuring that all necessary paperwork is completed.
Pre-Treatment Preparation: Prior to the treatment, a member of our team will prepare you for the session. This may involve cleansing the treatment area and applying a topical anesthetic cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure, if deemed necessary.
Eye Protection: To protect your eyes from the laser light, you will be provided with specialized eyewear. It is crucial to wear this eye protection throughout the entire treatment session.
Treatment Procedure: Once you are prepared, your trained practitioner will begin the Nordlys Candela Frax 1940 treatment. The handheld device will be gently applied to the treatment area, delivering controlled microbeams of laser energy to the skin. You may experience a sensation of warmth or mild prickling during the procedure, but any discomfort should be minimal.
Treatment Duration: The duration of the treatment session will depend on the size and number of areas being treated. Generally, a single session can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.
Follow-up and Future Sessions: Depending on your treatment plan, you may be advised to schedule follow-up sessions to achieve optimal results. Your practitioner will discuss the recommended treatment frequency and the number of sessions required during your consultation and after your initial treatment.

Aftercare

Protect the Treated Area: Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area immediately after the procedure. Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, covering the treated area with clothing or a wide-brimmed hat, and avoiding direct sunlight whenever possible. This helps prevent hyperpigmentation and promotes optimal healing.
Apply Recommended Topicals: If your practitioner has provided you with any post-treatment creams or ointments, apply them as directed. These products are specifically formulated to soothe the skin, reduce redness, and support the healing process.
Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse the treated area gently with a mild, non-irritating cleanser. Avoid using harsh or abrasive products that can potentially irritate the skin. Pat the skin dry instead of rubbing it with a towel.
Avoid Intense Heat: Refrain from exposing the treated area to excessive heat sources, such as hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, or hot showers for at least 48 hours post-treatment. Heat can aggravate the skin and prolong the healing process.
Skip Harsh Skincare Products: Avoid using products containing harsh chemicals, strong exfoliants, or active ingredients such as retinol or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) on the treated area until your skin has fully healed. These substances can cause irritation and delay the healing process.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your body and skin hydrated. Proper hydration supports overall skin health and assists in the healing process.
Be Patient: Results from Nordlys Candela Frax 1940 treatments typically develop gradually over time. It may take a few weeks or multiple sessions to see the full benefits. Be patient and follow your practitioner’s recommended treatment plan.
Follow-Up Appointments: Depending on your treatment plan, you may be scheduled for follow-up sessions.
