Fractional ablative laser treatment in Wrocław

Ablative fractional laser, Wrocław – IPIXEL Alma Harmony XL Pro SE

A fractional ablative laser is an advanced device used in aesthetic medicine and dermatology for skin regeneration, rejuvenation and improvement. Unlike traditional lasers, a fractional laser works by means of fractionation – this means that the laser beam is broken down into hundreds of microbeams. The fractional laser works by causing controlled thermal damage to the skin. When a microbeam of the laser penetrates the epidermis and reaches the dermis, small columns of damage (known as coagulation zones) are created within it. It is precisely in these areas that the body initiates an intensive regeneration process, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin fibres. 

Reducing wrinkles and signs of skin ageing

The fractional laser is one of the most effective tools in combating visible signs of ageing. It acts on the deep layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity. As a result, both shallow and deep wrinkles become less visible, and the skin takes on a more youthful appearance. The treatment reduces crow’s feet, nasolabial folds and forehead wrinkles, whilst improving the overall condition of the skin.

Removal of acne, surgical or burn scars

Scars are often a difficult-to-remove cosmetic imperfection that affects self-confidence and quality of life. Thanks to the action of the fractional laser, it is possible to lighten and smooth out acne scars, burn scars or those resulting from injuries or surgery. The micro-damage to the skin caused by the laser stimulates regenerative processes, allowing healthy tissue to be rebuilt and reducing the visibility of scars. The effects are noticeable after just a few sessions, and the skin becomes smoother and more even-toned.

Improvement in skin texture – smoothing, firming and pore minimisation

As we age, the skin’s structure deteriorates – unevenness, visible pores and a loss of firmness become apparent. Treatments using a fractional laser improve skin texture by smoothing the skin’s surface and tightening the pores. The regeneration process triggered by micro-injuries also increases the skin’s firmness and elasticity, giving the face a younger and healthier appearance. Regular use of the fractional laser restores the skin’s smoothness and even texture.

Reducing the appearance of stretch marks and smoothing the skin’s surface

Stretch marks are one of the most persistent skin problems, often leading to a loss of self-confidence. They can appear as a result of sudden weight changes, pregnancy or rapid growth. Fractional laser treatment helps to reduce the appearance of stretch marks by improving their texture and colour. The treatment acts on the deep layers of the skin, stimulating regeneration and collagen production, which leads to a smoother surface and a reduction in the visibility of stretch marks. Regular sessions help to achieve noticeable results, making the skin look healthier and more even-toned.

The fractional laser treatment process

1. Consultation and
   assessment The first stage is a consultation with a specialist at US Clinic. The expert thoroughly assesses the condition of the skin, discusses the patient’s expectations and conducts a detailed medical history to identify any potential contraindications. This stage is particularly important for ensuring the safety of the treatment and achieving the best possible results.
2. 
   Skin preparation: Before the treatment, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure, use high-factor sunscreen and refrain from irritating treatments (e.g. strong exfoliants). Immediately before the procedure, the treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and an anaesthetic cream may be applied.
3. The procedureThe
   practitioner places the laser handpiece against the skin, emitting microbeams onto the selected areas. The entire process can take from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area. The patient may feel warmth, a tingling sensation or a slight burning sensation, although most people describe the discomfort as minor.
4. 
   Post-treatment care: After the treatment, the skin may be reddened, slightly swollen, and sometimes small scabs or flaking may appear. The practitioner will provide aftercare advice, such as using soothing creams and avoiding the sun.

Frequently asked questions about fractional laser treatment

Is the treatment painful?

During the treatment, patients may experience a slight burning sensation, warmth or tingling in the areas treated by the laser, which is a normal skin reaction. To alleviate any discomfort, an anaesthetic cream is applied to reduce any unpleasant sensations. As a result, most patients find the treatment well tolerated, with minimal pain.

How many sessions are needed to see results?

The optimal number of treatments depends on the condition of the skin and the problem to be corrected, but is usually between 2 and 4 sessions. Treatments are carried out at intervals of 3 to 6 weeks, allowing the skin to fully regenerate between sessions. In the case of more advanced conditions, such as deep scars, a specialist may recommend additional sessions.

When will the first results be visible?

The first effects of the treatment can be seen after about 2 weeks, when the skin begins to regenerate and regain a fresh appearance. Full results, such as smoother skin, reduced scarring and improved firmness, are visible after 1–3 months, once the collagen regeneration process is complete. The time it takes to see the final results depends on the individual characteristics of the skin and the extent of the treatment.

Can fractional laser treatment be combined with other treatments?

Fractional laser treatment works perfectly in combination with other aesthetic medicine treatments, such as mesotherapy, platelet-rich plasma or chemical peels. Combining different procedures enhances the regenerative effects and achieves better results in a shorter time. Our experts tailor a treatment plan to each individual to meet the patient’s needs and expectations.

How long is the recovery period?

The recovery period following fractional laser treatment ranges from a few days to two weeks, depending on the intensity of the treatment and the skin’s reaction. During this time, the skin may be red, slightly swollen and flaky, which is a natural part of the regeneration process. It is important to use soothing creams, avoid the sun and protect your skin with SPF 50 sunscreen to speed up healing and safeguard the results of the treatment.
