Fractional laser

Welcome to Tempus Belgravia, where we aim to help you achieve a Nu Yu – your uniquely youthful self – through holistic rejuvenation treatments. As we age, the natural production of collagen in our skin begins to slow down, leaving telltale signs like fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone and texture. If these signs of ageing have you longing to unveil a fresher, renewed version of yourself, fractional laser treatment may be the solution you’re seeking.

As the leaders in advanced cosmetic procedures, our experts at Tempus Belgravia have helped countless clients uncover their Nu Yu through fractional laser treatments. 

What is Fractional Laser Treatment?

Fractional laser treatment is a minimally invasive skin resurfacing procedure that stimulates your skin’s natural renewal processes to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, sun damage, and uneven texture and tone. Using fractional laser technology, it delivers tiny columns of light energy or “microthermal zones” into the mid-dermis layer of skin where new collagen is produced.

This triggers your body’s wound healing response, signalling it to produce fresh, youthful collagen and elastin without damaging the surface of the skin. Over time, as your body replaces damaged skin with new, regenerated tissue, you’re left with smoother, brighter skin that has a more balanced, radiant appearance. Because it bypasses the epidermis, fractional laser treatments provide far less downtime than traditional laser resurfacing while achieving similar – if not better – results with each session.

What Can You Expect from Fractional Laser Treatment?

The benefits of fractional laser treatment are what draw countless clients to Tempus Belgravia, in London, each year in search of more luminous, life-affirmed skin. Some of the most common improvements our patients see include:

• Smoothed fine lines and wrinkles – By encouraging collagen regeneration beneath the surface, fractional laser stimulates the production of collagen fibres that plump lines from within for a freshened complexion.
• Faded acne scars and stretch marks – The laser’s columns of light smoothly lift and fill depressions in the dermis caused by breakouts or weight fluctuations.
• Brightened skin tone – Uneven pigmentation is lightened as damaged melanocytes are renewed, revealing an even, healthy-looking glow.
• Firmed facial contour – Over time, sagging skin gains renewed structure and definition as collagen builds.
• Minimise pores – Congested pores shrink in size with repeated laser treatments for polished, seamless skin.
• Hydrated texture – An overall bouncier, plumper look results from laser-induced collagen that retains moisture at the skin’s surface.

Best of all, the effects of fractional laser treatment are cumulative – meaning your results only continue to improve with subsequent sessions up to a year later as your body sustains collagen production long-term.

Am I a Suitable Candidate for Fractional Laser Treatment?

Fractional laser treatment produces wonderful results for most skin types and conditions. However, a consultation with one of our highly experienced aesthetic practitioners is important to determine whether the treatment is right for your unique skin concerns and needs. In general, the best candidates typically:

• Have fair to medium skin tones (type I-IV on the Fitzpatrick scale)
• Are in good general health without existing medical conditions
• Don’t have active acne, wounds, infections or sunburns on the treatment area
• Are non-smokers or are willing to refrain from smoking before and after treatment
• Are realistic about the level of improvement that can be achieved
• Are committed to proper pre- and post-treatment skin care

During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly examine your skin, discuss your goals, any previous procedures, medical history, and review contraindications. This lets us customise a tailored treatment plan to safely and effectively deliver the facial rejuvenation results you desire.

Comparing Fractional Laser to Other Treatments

When seeking to revitalise your complexion, it’s helpful to understand how fractional laser stacks up against alternative rejuvenation options. Here’s a brief overview:

Treatment	Downtime	Treatment Areas	Best For
Fractional Laser	1-3 days	Face, neck, décolletage, hands	Fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, texture
CO2 Laser	5-10 days	Face, neck, body	Deep wrinkles, scars
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)	1-3 days	Face, body	Pigmentation, sun damage
Chemical Peels	3-5 days	Face, body	Texture, discoloration
Microneedling	2-3 days	Face, body	Acne scars, fine lines
Botox	None	Forehead, frown lines	Dynamic wrinkles

As you can see, fractional laser provides effective resurfacing with far less recovery time than traditional CO2 lasers. It also treats a wider scope of concerns than light-based IPL or chemical peels with longer-lasting results. Book your consultation to discuss which treatment is preferential for your individual rejuvenation goals.

Your Fractional Laser Treatment FAQs

How many Fractional Laser Treatments will I need?

This depends on your skin’s individual needs and desired outcome. We recommend 2-4 Fractional Laser Treatment in London spaced 4-6 weeks apart for maximum collagen stimulation and results. 

Can anyone see if I’ve had the Fractional Laser Treatment London done?

No, Fractional Laser Treatment in London is non-ablative, meaning the surface of the skin remains intact. There may be some temporary redness but no visible “treatment” signs.

When will I see the results of my Fractional Laser Treatment in London?

Visible improvement is often seen after the initial Fractional Laser Treatment in London, but best results develop 3-6 months later as collagen fully regenerates. Subsequent treatments help sustain and optimise your new youthful complexion long-term.

Is there much pain or discomfort duringSFractional Laser Treatment in London?

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Patients most often describe a mild prickling or pinprick feeling that quickly passes.

How long before I can resume normal activities after Fractional Laser Treatment in London?

Plan to avoid strenuous exercise or sweating for 3 days and use mineral makeup to cover any temporary redness if needed. Heavy makeup can generally be applied after a day or two once flaking and peeling have resolved.

Will I need maintenance Fractional Laser Treatment?

To maintain refreshed skin in the long run, annual “touch-up” Fractional Laser Treatment in London are recommended to continue stimulating collagen as your skin naturally ages over time.
