Fractional Laser
Precision resurfacing that renews your skin layer by layer. Fractional laser technology delivers controlled micro-columns of energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen remodelling and rebuilding skin from the inside out.
Resurface. Rebuild. Renew.
Fractional laser resurfacing is one of the most clinically proven technologies in aesthetic dermatology. By delivering thousands of microscopic columns of laser energy into the skin, it creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body's wound-healing response. The surrounding untreated skin accelerates recovery, while the treated zones stimulate intense collagen and elastin production, gradually replacing damaged tissue with healthier, stronger, more refined skin.
Deep collagen remodelling
Controlled thermal energy stimulates fibroblast activity deep within the dermis, producing new collagen and elastin that continues to develop for up to twelve months after treatment.
Accelerated skin renewal
Fractional delivery removes damaged surface tissue while preserving surrounding healthy skin, promoting faster healing and a more even, refined result.
Proven results for scarring
One of the most clinically supported treatments for acne scars, surgical scars, and textural irregularity. Fractional laser remodels scar tissue at the dermal level for lasting improvement.
Reversal of photodamage
Sun spots, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, and roughened texture caused by years of UV exposure respond exceptionally well to fractional resurfacing.

Your physician assesses your skin type, the severity of your concerns, and your tolerance for downtime. Together, you determine whether an ablative or non-ablative approach is most appropriate and which treatment parameters will deliver the best outcome.
Topical numbing cream is applied 30 to 45 minutes before treatment. Your physician may also recommend a pre-treatment skincare protocol in the weeks leading up to your session to optimise your skin's readiness and minimise the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
The fractional laser is passed over the treatment area, delivering thousands of precise micro-columns of energy into the skin. Sessions typically take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area and the intensity of the protocol. You may feel a warm, prickling sensation throughout.
Downtime varies depending on the treatment intensity. Expect redness, warmth, and mild swelling for two to seven days, followed by a period of light flaking as the skin renews itself. Your physician will provide a detailed aftercare protocol including sun protection, hydration, and product guidance to support healing and maximise results.
Who is fractional laser for?
Fractional laser may be right for you if...
You want to reverse visible sun damage.
Years of UV exposure have left their mark: sun spots, uneven tone, roughened texture, fine lines. Fractional laser resurfaces and rebuilds, restoring the skin quality that photodamage has gradually taken away.

You are ready to address scarring properly.
You have tried surface-level treatments for acne scars or surgical scarring without meaningful results. Fractional laser works at the dermal level where scar tissue is formed, delivering the depth of remodelling that superficial approaches cannot.

You want a reset for your skin.
Sometimes skin needs more than maintenance. Fractional laser offers a controlled, physician-guided reset that rebuilds texture, tone, and clarity from the ground up, with results that continue to improve for months.
The most transformative results come from the deepest renewal.
At Sequoia Clinic, fractional laser protocols are physician-led and carefully calibrated to your skin type, your concerns, and your tolerance for downtime. We adjust depth, density, and energy levels for each treatment area, ensuring the most effective result with the most appropriate recovery profile. Whether you are addressing sun damage accumulated over decades or seeking to refine acne scarring, your laser protocol is designed with the same precision we bring to every treatment across the Sequoia Skin pillar.

Fractional laser resurfacing uses laser energy to create thousands of microscopic treatment columns in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production while the surrounding untreated skin accelerates recovery. The result is smoother, firmer, more even skin.
Ablative fractional lasers (such as CO2 and Erbium) remove thin layers of damaged skin while delivering heat to the dermis, producing more dramatic results with a longer recovery period. Non-ablative fractional lasers heat the dermis without removing surface tissue, offering a gentler treatment with shorter downtime. Your physician will recommend the right approach based on your skin type, concerns, and recovery tolerance.
This depends on the concern being addressed and the treatment intensity. Many clients see significant improvement after one to two sessions of ablative resurfacing. Non-ablative protocols may require three to five sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Your physician will design a programme tailored to your goals.
Recovery depends on treatment intensity. Non-ablative protocols may involve one to three days of redness. Ablative treatments typically require five to ten days of active healing, including redness, swelling, and flaking. Your physician will provide detailed aftercare guidance and timeline expectations before your treatment.
Fractional laser can be used on a range of skin tones, but clients with darker skin may have a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your physician will carefully assess your skin type and may recommend a pre-treatment skincare protocol to minimise this risk. In some cases, alternative treatments such as Morpheus8 RF microneedling may be more appropriate.
Initial improvement in texture and tone is typically visible within two to three weeks as the skin heals. Collagen remodelling continues for three to twelve months after treatment, meaning results develop progressively and continue to improve long after the session itself.
