Fractional resurfacing is a treatment option for Charlotte, NC residents who are dealing with a major concern: skin aging. As we grow older, one of the first places we start to show it is our skin. Collagen is a major factor in keeping our skin looking young. It is what gives our skin its elasticity and healthy glow. But, after the age of 30, we lose 1 percent of our skin’s collagen each year. This can lead to signs of aging such as sagging skin, sunken cheeks, fine lines, and wrinkles, which can leave us all looking older than we are.
Luckily, there are ways to fight these signs of aging and help boost collagen production in our skin. One popular option is fractional resurfacing at Dermatology Specialists of Charlotte.
What is fractional resurfacing?
Fractional resurfacing is done using a device called Halo. This device, which is a fractional laser, delivers precise microbeams of laser light to the lower layers of the skin. This creates deep, narrow columns of tissue coagulation. This stimulates the area to start its natural healing process, growing new, healthy tissue and boosting collagen production in the treated area.
Our faces aren’t the only place signs of aging can occur. The neck, hands, chest, and arms can all start to change with age. Fractional resurfacing can be used in all these areas, helping patients look their best, no matter where their problem area is.
