Fractional laser resurfacing is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve acne scars, wrinkles, uneven texture, and signs of skin aging by stimulating collagen remodeling beneath the skin’s surface.
This treatment creates controlled micro-injuries within the skin to support natural skin renewal and smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
Patients looking for broader advanced laser skin treatments may also explore our full range of non-invasive laser services.
Fractional laser resurfacing stimulates collagen remodeling to improve acne scars, uneven texture, fine lines, and visible skin damage. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking more advanced skin resurfacing and long-term texture improvement.
Patients seeking gentler collagen-stimulating rejuvenation may also benefit from Laser Genesis treatments.
Fractional laser resurfacing uses targeted laser energy to create microscopic treatment zones within the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact to support faster healing. This process stimulates collagen production and encourages smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
Fractional resurfacing is commonly used for improving acne scars, wrinkles, uneven texture, and signs of skin aging.
Acne scars: Improve skin smoothness and reduce textural irregularities
Wrinkles: Soften visible lines and signs of aging
Uneven texture: Refine and smooth the skin’s surface
Rough skin texture: Enhance overall skin softness and clarity
Sun-damaged skin: Improve tone and visible effects of UV exposure
Skin resurfacing concerns: Promote healthier, rejuvenated-looking skin
Patients seeking collagen induction treatments with less downtime or broader skin type compatibility may also benefit from RF microneedling treatments.
Patients primarily concerned with pigmentation or sun damage may also benefit from IPL Photofacial treatments.
Fractional laser resurfacing treatments typically take about 30–60 minutes depending on the treatment area. During treatment, laser energy creates controlled micro-injuries within the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling and skin renewal.
Recovery time varies depending on the intensity of treatment, but patients commonly experience temporary redness, dryness, and peeling as the skin heals.
Temporary redness and peeling: Mild skin irritation may occur during the healing process
Gradual skin texture improvement: Skin continues to appear smoother over time
Ongoing collagen remodeling: Collagen production continues for several weeks after treatment
Daily sunscreen is essential: Protect healing skin and maintain optimal treatment results
Patients concerned about enlarged pores may also explore our dedicated enlarged pores treatment options.
Short-Term Results: Fresher, smoother-looking skin becomes visible as redness subsides
Long-Term Improvement: Skin tone and texture continue improving as collagen rebuilds
Downtime: Temporary redness, swelling, and peeling may last several days and are often compared to a sunburned feeling
Lasting Results: With proper skincare and daily sun protection, results can remain visible for years
Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or sun damage: Improve visible skin concerns and overall texture
Non-surgical skin renewal: Achieve long-lasting rejuvenation without surgery
Skin Tone Considerations: Fractional laser is safe for many skin types, but settings must be customized. Lighter to medium tones often see dramatic results; darker skin tones may still be eligible but require careful evaluation to minimize risks like hyperpigmentation.
Whether you’re looking to improve acne scars, smooth uneven texture, or soften visible signs of aging, fractional laser resurfacing can help restore healthier-looking skin through advanced collagen remodeling.

This place is a life changer. They not only help you create a plan to lose weight, but help you regain confidence and create a whole new lifestyle. I love this place!
Cynthia Cauley
I have had two of the treatments. Each time my skin is baby smooth. I am quite impressed with the treatment. Each treatment took me about 5 days of down time. I used the vinegar treatment often which helps it recoup faster, in my opinion. These treatments are great in the fall and winter to refresh your skin and allow the down time without sun exposure. I have my third treatment scheduled for Jan. and looking forward to more improvement of my aging skin. The fine lines are very minimal now and I think I am looking younger and fresh.

Dr. Kesa took the time to personalize everything and made sure my trouble spots were addressed
Olivia Brooks
I received awesome service. I had no idea of the depth of help I would receive from Dr. Kesa. He takes the time to thoroughly go through your medical history and then explains how different conditions or medications you may be taking, interact with your weight loss goals. I would certainly recommend that someone struggling to lose weight make an appointment with Dr. Kesa to understand the results you have had so far.
