How Fractional Laser Treatment Works

Fractional laser technology delivers thousands of tiny, controlled beams of light into the skin. These beams are designed to target small areas of the skin’s surface while leaving surrounding tissue intact. The procedure may help improve the appearance of uneven tone, textural irregularities, and visible signs of ageing.

Some people notice changes within weeks, while others observe gradual improvements over time. Outcomes vary, and multiple sessions may be recommended depending on your skin type and treatment goals.

Fractional CO₂ Laser

At Shape Clinic, we use advanced fractional CO₂ laser technology that allows precise control of energy delivery. Treatments can be adjusted for different skin depths and areas, including more delicate regions such as the neck and eyelids. Your practitioner will tailor the procedure to your individual needs following consultation.

Fractional laser treatments may help improve the visible appearance of:

*Suitability for scarring depends on the type and severity, and will be assessed during consultation.
