Photofractional

This unique skin rejuvenation treatment combines two of our favourite treatments, ResurFX non-ablative fractional laser and IPL.

Combining ResurFX and IPL technologies in the same treatment session allows us to treat both pigmentation and texture simultaneously.

The Stellar M22 IPL & ResurFX non-ablative fractional laser technology can improve:

  • Unwanted pigmentation
  • Broken blood vessels & redness
  • Overall clearer complexion
  • Production of new collagen and elastic fibres. Stimulating new collagen production is the key to more radiant, youthful-looking skin.

This treatment provides noticeable results for treating unwanted pigmentation, redness and blood vessels, plus the stimulation and production of new collagen and elastic fibres in the deeper layers of the skin. The production of new collagen is the key to having smoother, more radiant, and youthful skin.

After the very first session, you may begin to notice an improvement in your skin’s complexion and pigmentation.

Optimal results are usually achieved after 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Typically, three treatments are needed to visibly improve skin texture. However, it is possible to continue to see improvements for up to six months after this treatment.

How to Choose the Right Skin Rejuvenation Treatment?

Non-ablative lasers like ResurfX are used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and other superficial skin concerns and require less downtime.  

Intense pulsed light therapy IPL can effectively treat unwanted skin discolourations, is much gentler on the skin and requires little to no downtime. 

If you’re unsure which laser rejuvenation treatment is right for you, schedule a consultation with one of our b clinic practitioners. We’ll examine your skin concerns and recommend the treatment that will provide optimal results. Sometimes, combining laser technology and wavelengths offers the best treatment outcomes. 

For some clients, a combination of aesthetic treatments may provide the best results. IPL, microneedling, chemical peels, and cosmetic injectables are often used as alternatives or combined with laser & IPL skin rejuvenation as part of a treatment plan.  

Does PhotoFractional Hurt?

A topical numbing cream can be applied, and pain medication can be taken to minimise discomfort. Post-treatment, you can expect to experience effects similar to sunburn, however this is dependant on which laser treatment that you undergo. We’ll be able to talk you through the process and what to expect during your initial consultation. 

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of Photofractional sessions required will depend on the skin concerns you want to treat and the type of laser technology used. For example, problems like broken capillaries, skin redness, and deep wrinkles will require more sessions than superficial skin issues. 

You’ll receive a personalised treatment plan at your free consultation, including the recommended number of sessions.

Possible Risks and Complications

The most common side effect of skin rejuvenation is redness that lasts a few days after treatment. Other common side effects include increased sensitivity and tenderness.

More serious side effects are rare but can include infection. Photofractional skin rejuvenation could increase the risk of a flare-up if you have a history of cold sores.

You can reduce the risk of complications by following pre-treatment and aftercare instructions.

How Do I Prepare for Photofractional Skin Rejuvenation?

You should avoid sun exposure for at least 1 week before each skin treatment. Unprotected sun exposure can increase the risks of side effects and have a negative impact on treatment outcomes. You should also avoid using fake tan and make sure your skin is clear of any products before each session.
