Common Questions

What is Fractional Laser Treatment?
Matisse Fractional Laser Treatment is a ‘fractional’ treatment that treats minute sections of the skin, which penetrate into the dermis to stimulate significant collagen renewal. The surrounding non-affected areas of the skin aid the body’s natural recovery process for dramatic results without significant recovery time. As the new collagen filled cells replace the old tissue the skin has an even tone, becomes plumper, smoother and less lined.

What does treatment feel like?
A warm, heating sensation may be felt but is considered very tolerable by most people. The system has an inbuilt cooler which will cool the skin first, ensuring treatment is more comfortable.

What should I expect after treatment?
Your skin may appear red and flushed for a few hours after treatment. However, our Matisse laser is unique and treats the tiniest section of skin in comparison to other fractional lasers. Therefore, any redness or swelling is very minimal. As the old skin tissue sheds your skin may appear more bronzed or tanned for a few days post treatment. Your skin will naturally exfoliate and may flake as if you have mild sunburn.

How many treatments will I need?
We often advise a series of three to six treatments for optimal results. If acne scarring is your primary concern you may require additional sessions. Treatment is carried out every two to six weeks but your laser clinician will advise the optimal frequency during your consultation.

Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare but could include a small blister. Any blistering is superficial and would heal within a week or two.
