Fractional Resurfacing Update

Interest in laser skin resurfacing has increased over the past few years. This resurgence of interest has been the result of newer resurfacing devices that have enabled physicians to deliver subablative pulses of laser light. These fractional laser devices allow the skin to repopulate without full epidermal or dermal eradication. Hybrid and tunable devices are also being introduced into the market, and these devices are expected to become more refined as experience with them increases.
