Did you mean Ablative Fractional Laser?

GlossaryAblative Fractional Lasers

use lasers to create tiny skin wounds for collagen production

Ablative Fractional Lasers are a type of laser treatment used in dermatology and cosmetic surgery to improve skin texture and appearance. They work by creating microscopic wounds in the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing process and promotes the production of new collagen. This technique targets only a fraction of the skin at a time, allowing for faster recovery compared to traditional ablative lasers.
