ResurFACE. Treatment with Fractional Skin Resurfacing

The award-winning fractional laser ResurFACE is available at Staffordshire Skin & Laser Clinic. Many people suffer lifelong skin concerns without any real treatment solutions. Fractional laser treatments were developed to offer dramatic rejuvenation results without the pro long down time or risk associated with more aggressive treatments such as CO2 and fully ablative lasers, whilst still delivering comparable results. Within clinic we use ResurFACE fractional laser to treat a number of indications including fine lines and wrinkles, skin rejuvenation, stretch marks, acne scaring and much more giving the skin a total rejuvenation resulting in a smoother, youthful and glowing appearance. ResurFace was launched in 2014. Within its first year it was voted the ‘Most Innovative Treatment of 2014’.

How Does Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

As the hand piece is passed over the skin, minute sections of the skin are targeted with the laser, which penetrate deep within the tissue causing small columns of thermal damage. This in turn leads to a significant stimulation of collagen renewal and remodelling of the collagen matrix. As only fractions of the skin are targeted, fractions of healthy skin are equally left untouched which aids in the skins natural recovery process, thus allowing dramatic results without significant downtime.
How Does The Treatment Feel?

During treatment a heating sensation will be felt with a mild stinging sensation. Most of our clients tolerate treatment well, however if you do find it uncomfortable a topical anaesthetic can be applied 30 minutes prior to treatment. After treatment the skin will feel quite hot, skin cooling packs will be applied in clinic to minimalize discomfort and aid a quicker skin recovery.
Am I Suitable For Treatment?

Prior to any treatment at Staffordshire Skin & Laser Clinic a full medical consultation and assessment will be carried out by our Nurse Practitioner to ensure there are no treatment contraindications. Most people are suitable for treatment especially individuals wanting to achieve a brighter, more even skin tone, with a smoother texture with improved skin elasticity, a reduction in lines and wrinkles, pore size, scars (including acne scars) and stretch marks. If you feel comfortable to proceed with treatment a patch test can be carried out at consultation, you will then be ready to start your first treatment 5-7 days later.
How Is The Treatment Carried Out?
What Should I Expect After Treatment?

Immediately following treatment you will experience a mild sunburn sensation and the skin will appear red for 1 -2 days. This is normal and it is a good sign that the skin is healing at a deep tissue level. As the redness starts to subside your skin may have a bronzed appearance that can last 3-10 days. Your skin will also go through a natural exfoliation process giving the appearance of a mild flaking. Skin is usually back to its normal self within 7-10 days. During the initial skin healing process skin hydrating and camouflage products can be applied allowing you to carry on your normal day to day activities. These will be discussed at your consultation.
Are There Any Side Effects?

Skin redness, swelling and a bronze appearance to the skin as described above are all typical treatment outcomes. Rare side effects may include a small blister or a temporary lightening or darkening of the skin pigmentation. We advise all patients undergoing laser treatment of the importance of the use of a daily sun protection factor (SPF) to reduce any risks further.
