It’s essential to protect your skin from the sun during the recovery period.
Number of Sessions: Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, especially for more significant
pigmentation issues. The interval between sessions will depend on the specific laser used and the practitioner’s
recommendations.
Long-Term Results: Over time, as the skin heals and collagen production increases, you may notice improvements
in pigmentation, texture, and overall skin quality.

Benefits: Treats both pigmentation related problems and improves overall skin texture. May be effective for
melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation.
Precision Targeting: Fractional lasers deliver microscopic beams of light to the skin, targeting specific areas of
pigmentation. This precision allows for accurate treatment of pigmented lesions without affecting the surrounding
healthy skin.

Stimulation of Collagen Production: Fractional laser treatments stimulate the production of collagen, a crucial
protein that helps maintain skin structure and elasticity. This can result in improved skin texture and firmness.
Reduced Downtime: Compared to traditional ablative lasers, fractional lasers have a shorter downtime. The
fractional approach creates micro- injuries in the skin, promoting faster healing and minimizing the overall
recovery period.
Versatility: Fractional lasers can be customized to address various skin concerns, including pigmentation
issues, fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. This versatility makes them suitable for a range of skin conditions.

Minimized Risk of Complications: Fractional laser treatments have a
lower risk of complications compared to more aggressive ablative laser
treatments. The controlled nature of fractional lasers reduces the chances
of scarring and other adverse effects.
Improvement in Pigmentation Irregularities: Fractional lasers effectively
target excess melanin in pigmented lesions, breaking down the pigment
and promoting a more even skin tone. This makes them beneficial for
treating conditions such as sunspots, age spots, and melasma.
Customizable Treatment Plans: Practitioners can adjust the intensity
and depth of fractional laser treatments based on the patient’s specific skin
concerns and desired outcomes. This customization allows for personalized
treatment plans.

Long-Term Results: As the skin heals from fractional laser treatments,
improvements in pigmentation, texture, and overall skin quality can become
more noticeable over time. Long-term results may include a reduction in
pigmented lesions and a more youthful appearance.

Minimal Discomfort: Topical anesthesia is often applied before the
fractional laser procedure, minimizing discomfort during the treatment.
Some fractional lasers also have built-in cooling mechanisms to enhance
patient comfort.
Safe for Various Skin Types: Fractional laser technology has evolved to be
safer for a broader range of skin types. However, it’s crucial to consult with
a qualified practitioner to determine the most suitable treatment approach
based on individual skin characteristics.
3 Microdermabrasion Machines: Exfoliate the outer layer of skin, promote cell turnover and help reduce
pigmentation.
How to use

Consultation: Before starting any Microdermabrasion treatment, have a consultation with a licensed skincare
professional or dermatologist. Discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and expectations.
Skin Assessment: The practitioner will assess your skin type, the severity of pigmentation, and other factors to
determine if microdermabrasion is a suitable treatment for your specific needs.
