It is these small shortcomings, as well as a random pattern down the pulse, which allows more cooling of the skin and less damage to surrounding tissue. This reduces the healing time, and after a patient, as well as reduce their exposure risk factors, such as scarring, discoloration, infection, etc.

Fractionated laser technology behind Fraxel, Lumenis also Utlrapulse. The two companies now offer fractionated CO2 (carbon dioxide) lasers. CO2 historically the most dramatic changes in skin resurfacing laser, but was always longer healing time and potential hypopigmentation (light color) deficiency.
