Introducing the Fractional Skin Resurfacing Treatment

How Does Starlux Fractional Skin Resurfacing Work?

The Palomar Lux1540 Fractonal Non-Ablative Laser Handpiece delivers light in an array of narrow, focused "microbeams", to create columns of coagulation within the skin. These columns initiate a natural healing process that forms new, healthy tissue. This results in improved skin appearance.

What areas can I have treated?

StarLux Fractional non-ablative treatments can be performed on most areas of the body, including the face, chest, arms, and hands.

Whats makes Starlux Fractional non-ablative treatments different from other Skin Resurfacing methods?

Some skin resurfacing devices, such as CO2 Lasers, use the ablative method, which removes the epidermis and some of the dermis. While good results are eventually seen, the drawbacks include red and raw skin, down time and a risk of infection for several weeks after treatment.

Our device uses the non-ablative method: sending light pulses into the epidermis and dermis, while leaving the stratum corneum in place. This allows quick recovery.

Are these treatments painful? What should I expect after treatment?

You may experience redness, warmth, swelling, or tightness in the treated area, which typically fades within a few hours of treatment. The skin may often have a pinkish tone for 5-7 days. Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time.

With our "easier on the skin" fractioanl non-ablative process, the light pulses are confined to narrow columns in the skin, allowing for a quick-healing process. Some people notice positive changes in skin appearance within a few days.

A series of treatments at 3-6 week intervals may be required to achieve the desired results. Dr. Dadurian will be able to give you more information about StarLux Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing treatment and expected outcomes.
