Fractional LightScan Resurfacing

What is fractional laser skin resurfacing?

Fractional laser skin resurfacing allows the elimination of initial signs of aging, shallow wrinkles, and scars. By means of targeted exposure to low-energy infrared laser, stimulation of fibroblasts and synthesis of type I collagen, endothelial cells occur, initiating the natural skin repair process.

Additional benefits of non-ablative laser skin resurfacing:

• The procedure is highly comfortable and painless, requiring no use of even minimal anesthesia;
• There is no rehabilitation period - you don't need to stay at home for several days, waiting for swelling and scabs to subside;
• The laser can be used on various body areas: face, neck, hands, abdomen, chest;
• It's versatile as laser resurfacing can be applied to all skin types;
• Visible and consistent results can be seen after just 3-5 sessions.

Who is suitable for the procedure of fractional laser resurfacing?

If you have any of the problems listed below, we recommend scheduling an initial consultation with a cosmetic doctor at the LeoDerm Medical Center:

• Shallow wrinkles around the eyes, nasolabial folds, on the neck;
• Loss of skin tone and natural radiance, uneven tone;
• Pigment spots, particularly those associated with natural skin aging;
• Acne scars;
• Stretch marks on the body.

Contraindications for laser resurfacing

Like any cosmetic procedure, laser skin resurfacing has its contraindications, including:

• Infectious and inflammatory skin processes in the acute phase;
• Psoriasis;
• Herpes;
• Oncology; diabetes mellitus;
• Recent sun exposure;
• Pregnancy and lactation;
• Taking medications that increase sensitivity to light;
• Keloid scars.

What equipment does LeoDerm use for fractional resurfacing?

The non-ablative laser LIGHTscan™ allows for even treatment of precisely defined areas of the skin without affecting adjacent ones. The laser beam divides into numerous thin microrays that descend onto the skin in uniform intervals, forming a fine grid of microchannels. The skin remains untouched in between the rays.

As a result, healthy cells begin to actively regenerate, initiating natural restoration processes that produce elastin and collagen. Externally, this manifests as a change in the skin's texture - smoothing and evening out its relief.

During the procedure, the cosmetic doctor independently sets the necessary power, depth, and area of laser impact based on the skin's condition and the nature of the changes. That's why the equipment is individually adjusted for each client. Due to the non-aggressive nature of the treatment on the skin, after fractional resurfacing with LightScan, there are no significant swellings, redness, or a typical rehabilitation period.

How does fractional laser skin resurfacing proceed?

Non-ablative LightScan resurfacing involves several consecutive stages:

1. In the first stage, the cosmetic doctor removes all makeup, cleanses the facial skin, applies an antiseptic, and provides protective goggles for the client.
2. Next, the doctor treats specific areas with the laser. Generally, the procedure takes about half an hour.
3. The final stage involves applying a soothing regenerative cream that accelerates skin recovery.

The noticeable result will be visible after just 3-5 sessions. The skin will become firmer, pigmented spots will fade, the overall tone will even out, and expression lines will become less pronounced. Fractional laser facial resurfacing with LightScan is an excellent alternative to more radical lifting procedures.
