What is fractional laser and resurfacing treatment in Walnut Creek, CA?
Fractional laser resurfacing is a rejuvenating treatment that produces
amazing results. The results are similar to a deep chemical peel but
without the downtime. The fractional laser is also less invasive than
the traditional CO2 laser. This is due to the fact that the fractional
laser uses tiny beams of light to heat up the deeper layers of skin to
help stimulate collagen production. This treatment is provided in
several sessions to lessen the temporary damage and to promote faster
healing.
Fractional laser resurfacing can be used to improve many
signs of aging as well as acne and scaring. This precise laser is able
to treat damaged areas of the skin while leaving other areas untreated.
This type of treatment is sometimes referred to as bridge therapy. The
approach is less painful, heals faster and still provides the desired
results.
Fractional laser resurfacing treatment is non-ablative which
means it does not break the skin. When you come in for your procedure
we will start by cleansing the area to be treated. You will be asked to
wear goggles to protect your eyes. Then Dr. Lee will pass the hand piece
over the desired treatment areas. It will typically take three passes
over each area to achieve the desired results. After fractional laser
and resurfacing in Walnut Creek, CA, you can expect the treated areas to
be swollen and red. It will be similar to what you might feel if you
were sunburned. We can provide a topical anesthetic if needed to make
you more comfortable during the procedure.

collagen is produced for six months to a year. During this time, brand
new healthy, radiant, more youthful skin will emerge. You will see that

improve. You will also see improvement in the appearance of skin tone,
scars and the texture of your skin. Brown spots and dark areas will
