Most commonly done with a laser, skin resurfacing is the most dramatic, non-surgical procedure to repair and renew the skin, addressing a wide-ranging skin concerns. Fractional-based skin resurfacing involves creating a pattern of microscopic injuries to a fraction of the skin. This stimulates a natural wound-healing response, exciting the skin to repair itself.

While you'll begin to enjoy noticeable improvement following your first treatment., two to three treatments are recommended for optimal results.
