Due to the environmental factors, aging and skin conditions, your complexion may suffer over time: developing uneven textures, wrinkles, sunspots, acne scars and dullness. Here in Heights Dermatology, we know how frustrating these changes can get. This is why we provide fractional ablative laser therapy that is a high-tech dermatological treatment aimed at enhancing the beauty and health of your skin by addressing the causes of these defects.
What is a Fractional Ablative Laser?
Fractional ablative laser is very precise, skin-resurfacing technology that applies laser energy to focus on damaged skin in a pattern of fractions-that is, to treat microscopic columns of skin while leaving tissue between the columns untouched. This promotes the natural healing of the body, which stimulates the production of new skin and collagen to grow.
What Conditions Does It Treat?
Fractional ablative laser treatment is particularly helpful in patients who want to decrease the visibility of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Age and sun exposure are typical factors that cause fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
- Sun damage: When exposed to UV radiation over long periods, the skin becomes irregular in pigmentation and rough in texture.
- Acne scars: This laser technology can greatly help improve deep or pitted acne scars.
- Surgical or traumatic scars: Old or raised surgical or traumatic scars can be softened with fractional laser therapy.
Irregular skin tone and texture: This may be due to aging, hormones, or environment.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Fractional ablative laser therapy may be a good option in case you are in good health, and you have minor to moderate signs of aging, sun damage, or scarring. After a consultation with our skilled dermatologist in Houston, the most effective treatment plan will be established depending on your skin type and conditions.
