Procedures During the Treatment

Your visit is designed to be simple, comfortable, and treatment will be done by our professional nurse team so you can feel confident every step of the way.
01

Consultation and Planning

Meet with a professional aesthetic consultant to discuss your skin concerns, previous treatments, schedule, and downtime preferences. Fractional or full field resurfacing will be recommended based on the depth and coverage your skin may need.

02

Skin Preparation

Before treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared. Your provider reviews the planned treatment area, confirms the selected resurfacing approach, and adjusts the treatment depth and intensity for your skin and goals.

03

Laser Resurfacing

The Fotonaâ„¢ Er:YAG laser is passed over the selected area. Fractional resurfacing creates a pattern of microscopic treatment zones, while full field resurfacing treats the complete surface for more comprehensive renewal.

04

Post Treatment Care

A soothing post treatment product is applied, and you receive a personalized home care plan. Your provider explains how to cleanse, moisturize, protect the skin, and manage expected redness, dryness, or peeling.

What is Fotonaâ„¢ Er:YAG Laser?

The Fotonaâ„¢ Er:YAG laser is a precision resurfacing technology that can be adjusted for fractional or full field treatment. Its energy is absorbed by water within the skin, allowing the provider to remove controlled amounts of surface tissue. Settings can be customized from lighter resurfacing to deeper renewal based on skin condition, treatment goals, and acceptable downtime.

How Does the Treatment Work

Fractional resurfacing creates microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding skin intact to support recovery. Full field resurfacing treats the complete skin surface, removing a controlled layer of damaged or uneven tissue. Both approaches initiate a natural renewal response and can support smoother texture, more even tone, and gradual collagen remodeling.

Is the Treatment Safe?

Laser resurfacing is carefully customized according to skin type, treatment area, concern severity, and intended depth. The selected settings directly influence both the treatment response and expected recovery.

Temporary redness, warmth, dryness, swelling, or peeling may occur as the skin renews. A consultation and personalized aftercare plan help ensure the selected approach is appropriate for your skin.

Personalized Treatment Depth

Your provider adjusts the laser depth, coverage, and intensity according to your skin condition and preferred recovery period rather than using one standard setting for every client.

Redness, dryness, and peeling are expected parts of the renewal process. Their intensity and duration vary between lighter fractional treatments and more comprehensive full field resurfacing.

You will receive instructions for gentle cleansing, moisturization, sun protection, and post treatment products to support the skin while it settles and renews.

Fractional vs. Full Field Resurfacing

Fractional resurfacing treats microscopic sections of the skin while preserving surrounding tissue. It offers adjustable renewal with a generally shorter recovery period and is often selected for pores, fine lines, scars, and uneven texture.
Full field resurfacing treats the complete surface layer for more comprehensive correction of visible sun damage, dullness, and textural irregularities. It usually involves more peeling and downtime but may achieve the desired renewal in fewer sessions.
