skin resurfacing philosophy

Fractional radiation of the skin involves delivering laser light through a small energy spot surrounded by a large area of non-irradiated, healthy tissue. Consequently, the utilization of fractional technology induces minimal tissue injury, prompting a substantial healing response from adjacent non-injured tissues. Chemokines and cytokines, as proteins, play a pivotal role in initiating the signaling response and, consequently, the healing process within the tissues.

Ablation refers to the removal of tissue through destruction or vaporization. In contrast, non-ablative laser radiation delivers thermal effects to the skin tissue without causing destruction or removal. Non-ablative lasers are selective, causing significantly less damage to tissues compared to ablative laser sources.
