A candidate for Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing is someone who is seeking to correct a number ageing skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles in the face, neck, back, chest, or hands.

In general, the fractional laser resurfacing treatment is available to a wide variety of candidates. 

Those seeking this procedure should desire to look younger and more refreshed, yet should be realistic in their expectations. 

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Here at Face and Body Inc, we offer topical anaesthetic cream (numbing cream) to make the treatment as comfortable as possible, however discomfort may be experienced during and post treatment.

Like most laser resurfacing procedures, the results from the treatment are relatively long-term. Of course, laser resurfacing does not stop the natural ageing process, so certain signs of ageing can return over time.

Some patients may see results after just 1 treatment, however 2 – 4 treatments are recommended to achieve optimum results.
