Skin resurfacing is the process of ablating and regenerating layers of the skin to improve collagen production. Benefits include reduced pore size, tighter looking skin and a clearer, more even skin tone. It can be performed in a number of ways, although some are more invasive than others. At Dermedica, our qualified doctor performs fractional skin resurfacing using radiofrequency. By using this method, we are able to obtain better results with shorter recovery periods for our clients.
In most cases, fractional skin resurfacing requires preparation of the skin prior to treatment. This involves clients avoiding the use of sunscreens, topical retinoids or topical lightening agents to reduce the risks of unwanted pigmentation changes. After the procedure, we recommend avoiding the sun during the recovery period to enhance your results.

Fractional resurfacing uses a patented radiofrequency technology that treats the skin in tiny points spaced out in a fine grid like the pixels in an image from a digital camera. These treatment points (called “Microthermal Treatment Zones”) trigger skin regeneration, as well as new collagen production and regrowth while the surrounding untreated area maintains the skins stability for support and accelerates the healing process. It rejuvenates the skin from the inside out to replace the old damaged skin with healthier fresher looking skin. The result is firmer, fuller skin with reduced wrinkles and sagging, and a smoother skin surface.
