Restore your Skin's Natural Beauty with Fractional Skin Resurfacing
Rejuvenate and Revitalize with Skin Resurfacing
Nothing is as beautiful as soft, smooth, healthy skin. Unfortunately, our skin is subject to numerous factors that leave it less than perfect. Time, heredity, and gravity all do their part to create fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the mouth and eyes. Scarring associated with acne or other injury may also play a part. Rajeunir Medical Spa continues to use industry-leading technology. Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing is the only method of skin resurfacing that offers excellent results with no downtime. Fractional Skin Resurfacing treatments deliver focused “microbeams” of heat that penetrate deep into the dermis for the most effective and longest lasting results possible. The heated tissue starts a natural healing process that forms fresh new tissue. This results in a decrease of sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles, melasma, and acne scarring; revealing a luminous, more desirable skin tone and texture.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing treats the following conditions:
- Acne Scarring
- Melasma
- New Surgical Scarring
- Red Stretch Marks
- Crow’s Feet
- Fine Lines
- Skin Laxity
*Individual results may vary

The Fractional Non-Ablative approach stimulates quick healing, while leaving your skin’s surface intact with no lasting redness. In addition, Fractional Skin Resurfacing penetrates to a very precise, controlled depth, making the procedure safe and predictable.
A cool roller will prepare your skin for the heat of the treatment. A topical anesthetic may be applied, however, most people tolerate the treatment comfortably without the use of any anesthetic.
Because the light pulses are confined to narrow columns in the skin, much of the skin is left unaffected and there is a quick healing process; most people notice positive changes in skin tone and texture within a few days.
Ablative skin resurfacing techniques, such as CO2 lasers and plasma ablation, have a long healing process, leaving red, raw skin. Other Fractional techniques use a blue dye that will remain on the skin long after the treatment has been administered. With Rajeunir Medical Spa’s Fractional Skin Resurfacing, there is no persistent redness, or residual effects from dyes, thus making it possible for you to continue with your day.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
Post-Treatment Instructions
Pre-Treatment Instructions
- Discontinue sun tanning and the use of tanning beds and self-tanning creams 4 weeks before and throughout the treatment course. This will reduce the chance of skin color changes, and development of new lesions.
- Always use an SPF 30 or greater sunscreen on all exposed treatment areas and re-apply every 2 hours throughout the day. Wear protective hats and clothing.
- Discontinue use of exfoliating creams such as Retin-A and other skin exfoliating products 2 weeks prior to and during the entire treatment course.
- Discontinue use of Oral Isotretinoin/Accutane for 6 months prior to and during treatment. Accutane changes the underlying structure of the skin which may cause an increase skin sensitivity to light.
- If you have a history of Herpes outbreaks in the area of treatment you should consult your Primary Care Provider for medical evaluation and possible antiviral therapy prior to treatment.
- An accurate diagnosis, by a Physician, of abnormal lesions or brown spots prior to treatment is necessary before treatment of lesions. Failure to do so, may delay proper treatment.
Post-Treatment Instructions
- A mild sunburn-like sensation is expected. This usually last 2-24 hours but can persist up to 72 hours. Mild swelling and/or redness may accompany this, which usually resolves in 2-3 days. In some cases, prolonged redness or blistering may occur.
- Apply cool/ice compresses and/or 1% Hydrocortisone cream to treatment areas for 10-15 minutes every hour for the next 4 hours, as needed, to reduce discomfort or swelling.
- The treated area can be gently cleansed and polysporin can be applied if needed.
- Pigmented lesions may initially look raised and/or darkened with a reddened perimeter. The lesion is usually healed in 7-21 days, but may take 4 weeks to completely fade.
- Direct sun exposure to the treatment area is prohibited from whatever source (natural sun, tanning beds, self-tanning creams) and the use of SPF 30 or greater is mandatory.
- Be aware of the likelihood of coincidental hair removal in the treatment area.
- Do not pick, scratch or remove scabs. This will help decrease the chance of infection and scarring.
- Until redness has completely resolved avoid swimming, hot tubs/Jacuzzis and activities that cause excessive perspiration.
