Pleasant Hill area patients ask about fractional laser treatment

Patients who are dealing with the following skin concerns will benefits from fractional laser technology:

• Uneven skin pigmentation
• Large pores
• Acne scars
• Sun damage

Fractional laser skin resurfacing is done with CO2 technology, which can provide amazing results in just one treatment. Patients can choose from a variety of intensities with the full understanding of the recovery time for each. Most patients with mild skin concerns may benefit from ActiveFX treatment, while significant concerns may require the strength of DeepFX or TotalFX. During the initial consultation appointment with Dr. Christine Lee, patients can talk about their skin concerns and discuss which treatment may be best suited for their needs, budget, and time.

After treatment, patients can expect a few days of redness and swelling. This is perfectly normal and is the process during which the skin cells turn over. Most patients may need to recover for five days or longer, depending on how aggressive of a treatment they received. Treatment sessions should be scheduled far enough in advance of social engagements to ensure patients look their best!
