Non-ablative fractional laser is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers real, lasting results - with minimal disruption to your day.
By creating microscopic channels deep within the skin, the laser stimulates your body’s own collagen and elastin production, progressively improving skin tone, texture, fine lines and overall skin quality. Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, the skin surface remains intact, meaning reduced downtime and a more comfortable recovery.
“ Suitable for all skin types, with results that continue to develop for 3–6 months post-treatment. Individual results may vary. ”
What can I expect during treatment?
Before your treatment begins, a topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort. Your clinician will gently roll the laser handpiece across the skin in precise, overlapping passes. You may hear a soft crackling sound and feel a mild warmth - this is the laser working to stimulate renewal deep within the skin. Each session is carefully tailored to your skin concern, with your clinician adjusting settings to deliver the most effective and comfortable treatment for you.
What to expect post-treatment?
After your laser treatment, it’s normal to experience some redness, mild swelling and a warm sensation - similar to a light sunburn. Over the following days, you may notice tiny pin-prick marks or light bronzing on the skin surface, which naturally shed as the skin renews. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Results build progressively over 3–6 months as new collagen forms. Individual results may vary.
