What is Photofractional Laser Resurfacing?
The Lumenis® Photofractional solution
The Lumenis® Photofractional treatment is a highly effective method for improving the appearance of stretch marks on different areas of your body.
Our unique technology combines two solutions, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ResurFX non-ablative skin resurfacing, so that both skin tone and texture can be treated simultaneously. No matter if you have older stretch marks from puberty, or newer ones from pregnancy, PhotofractionalTM is an effective laser treatment to help you regain smooth skin.
Is Photofractional Laser Resurfacing safe?
Developed by the pioneer of aesthetic medicine and trusted
by leading professionals around the world, Photofractional is clinically validated to safely and effectively treat stretch marks.
How does Photofractional Laser Resurfacing work?
Photofractional technology
By combining both IPL and ResurFX technologies, both skin pigmentation and texture can be treated at the same time. Lumenis® IPL technology removes unwanted pigment from the skin, while the ResurFX fractional laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating new collagen production is the key to a smoother, tighter looking skin.
Photofractional Laser: The treatment for Acne, Facial Scars, and Skin tightening
To ensure utmost comfort, San Antonio Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jose Barrera, MD applies a topical numbing cream before treatment and/or use air cooling during treatment. Depending on the area being treated, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes. You may experience a warm or prickling sensation as the laser is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable.
Laser microbeams heat the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin fibers, and intense pulses of light address pigmentation.
The advanced scanner delivers the laser beams in a precise manner with integrated cooling to ensure maximum comfort.
