What is the typical purpose of fractional lasers?

The typical purpose of fractional lasers is to treat a variety of skin conditions by delivering energy in a fractionated manner. This approach targets specific areas of the skin without affecting the entire surface, promoting healing and regeneration while minimizing recovery time. Fractional lasers create microscopic wounds in the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing processes, leading to improvements in skin texture, tone, and elasticity. By treating only a fraction of the skin at a time, these lasers can effectively address issues such as sun damage, fine lines, and scars, making them versatile tools in dermatological procedures. This technique allows for safer and more comfortable treatments compared to traditional laser methods that may ablate larger areas of tissue.
