Fractional
A multifractional, non-ablative dual-wavelength laser. This means it uses two different laser wavelengths to treat the skin without completely removing the top layer (ablative).
It delivers laser energy in a fractional pattern, creating tiny microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding skin intact. Dual Wavelengths: uses 1550nm and 1927nm wavelengths, each targeting different depths within the skin.
Fractional Technology: Minimizes downtime and side effects compared to traditional laser resurfacing.
Versatility: Can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns.
-
The laser energy stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for skin firmness and elasticity.
It can also help to:
Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Improve skin texture and tone
Treat acne scars and other skin imperfections
Reduce hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
-
Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, it can help to minimize the depth of wrinkles and improve skin firmness.
Improved skin texture and tone: It can help to refine skin texture, reduce pore size, and improve overall skin tone by addressing issues like hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and uneven skin color.
Treatment of acne scars: It can help to diminish the appearance of acne scars, including ice pick scars, boxcar scars, and rolling scars.
Reduced hyperpigmentation: The laser can effectively target and break down excess melanin, helping to lighten dark spots, melasma, and freckles.
Minimal downtime: Compared to more invasive laser treatments, the Multifrax generally has minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities quickly. -

Gentle Cleansing:
Cleanse the treated area gently with mild, fragrance-free cleansers.
Avoid harsh soaps, scrubs, or any products that may irritate the skin.
Hydration:
Apply a gentle moisturizer to the treated area regularly.
Look for moisturizers that are non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and contain soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides.
Sun Protection:
Crucial:
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to the treated area daily, even on cloudy days.
Avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible for several weeks after treatment.
Cool Compresses:
Apply cool compresses to the treated area as needed to reduce any redness or swelling.
Avoid Irritants:
Refrain from using harsh chemicals, such as retinoids or exfoliants, on the treated area for a period of time as directed by your doctor.
Avoid makeup, perfumes, and other irritating products for the first 24-48 hours after treatment.
Monitor for Side Effects:
Watch for any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus.
Contact your doctor if you experience any concerning side effects. -
Chemical peels can exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and stimulate collagen production. This can help to enhance the results of the MultiFrax treatment by improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promoting a more radiant complexion.
