-
Fractional lasers create micro-injuries that form a grid light pattern because the laser beam is split into many small beams. With these targeted micro-injuries, you can trigger a healing reaction without damaging your skin. Like microneedling, a fractional laser treatment is a call to your body, telling it to generate new collagen directly to a specific area. Since the treatment leaves the surrounding tissue intact, it gives clients a matrix of treated skin next to untreated skin which results in much faster healing and less downtime, while still achieving excellent results.
-
Popular treatment areas include the face, neck, décolleté, and hands due to the powerful anti-aging results produced by the fractional laser.
-
The longevity of results are dependent on aging, sun exposure without the use of sunscreen or sun block and other lifestyle habits.
-
Fractional Laser treatments are safe and effective without the long downtimes typically associated with other laser treatments or surgery. You can expect your skin to be red similar to a sunburn after the treatment and you will not be able to wear makeup for about 7 days. The qualified medical staff at Timeless Elements will ensure that you are provided with aftercare products and detailed post-treatment care instructions so that the healing process will progress safely and quickly.

MORE FAQs
Who is a good candidate for fractional laser skin resurfacing?
Those with mild to moderate skin flaws, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and age spots, make good candidates for fractional laser skin resurfacing. Men and women of varying skin types can receive this treatment provided that they are in good health and willing to adhere to post-treatment care instructions to receive optimal results.
Can darker skin tones receive a fractional laser treatment?
Yes. Some patients with ethnic/darker skin can receive the fractional laser treatment because the device used can be adjusted to treat darker skin tones without damaging the skin, however, darker skin tones do run a greater risk of experiencing hyperpigmentation after treatment. A consultation will help us assess your skin type and recommend a safe treatment plan. The qualified medical staff at Timeless Elements Med Spa & Laser Center have been treating patients of all skin tones in Forest Lake, MN for many years with advanced medical lasers and continue to train with these lasers to ensure that clients of all skin types receive the safest and most effective treatment possible.
What is the treatment like?
To lessen discomfort, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the skin prior to treatment. The problem regions are then targeted while the laser is guided across the skin by a member of our trained medical staff. You might feel mild discomfort, heat, or a prickling sensation as the laser treats each area. Depending on the size of the treatment area (face, neck, chest, etc.), the fractional laser treatment may take up to an hour including numbing time with the topical anesthetic.
How many treatments will I need to see results?
The number of treatments required will depend on a number of factors including:
The severity of skin imperfections, sun damage, acne scars, etc.
The patient’s age and skin laxity
The patient’s skin tone
The desired outcome the patient is looking to achieve
Typically, 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended, but patients will see impressive results from fractional skin resurfacing after just one treatment.
Can fractional laser resurfacing treat acne scars?
Yes. The outermost layer of skin (epidermis) is intentionally damaged by the fractionated laser beam. At the same time, the laser reaches the deeper layer of skin, known as the dermis. This causes the body to respond with an increase in collagen producution over time, which will work to repair damaged skin from acne scars in the treated area, resulting in smoother skin texture where acne scars exist. Additional skincare treatments and lasers combined with the fractional laser may be needed to see improvement for deeper and more severe acne scarring. Call (651) 464-6444 to book a complimentary consultation with our laser specialists at our Forest Lake Med Spa to see if fractional laser resurfacing is the right treatment for your skincare needs.
How do I prepare for my fractional laser treatment?
We recommend that you avoid tanning beds and prolonged sun exposure one month prior to treatment. Avoid harsh chemicals and exfoliants a week before treatment.
