The rise of skin technology made way for working on skin goals in a way our usual at-home care couldn't. Because of that, we have endless choices on how to go about the care we give our skin. One of the most common innovations: lasers for skin.
Laser facials have become more and more accessible because of the range of benefits they do for your skin. It can go beyond what our routine hydrating facials could do by working on either the aftermath of skin concerns like scarring and development of texture or trauma or reviving skin processes needed to heal the skin. These could make anyone ready to commit to skin progress more excited about working on their goals but overwhelmed at the same time with the choices they have available.
If you've been eyeing laser facials for a while, you might have yourself familiar with a few types— most commonly: fractional and non-fractional lasers. Let's break it down.
What's the difference between fractional and non-fractional laser facials?

Fractional lasers intentionally target only specific layers of the skin to work on skin healing, pigmentation, scarring, or texture by creating micro-injuries to those targeted areas. It works in sync with the natural healing processes of the non-targeted parts of the skin to speed up wound healing & downtime.
Non-fractional lasers, on the other hand, target the whole surface— equally distributing laser energy to treat the skin. It works more aggressively versus fractional lasers as it goes without the help of non-treated parts of the skin to work on specific skin needs.
Interesting! But how do I know which laser facial is right for me?

Depending on your skin goals, type, and lifestyle, you can opt for the fractional or the non-fractional way to help you with your skin goals.
Since non-fractional lasers are typically more aggressive and require more downtime, some may find fractional lasers the way to go as it gives one the maximum benefits of a laser at little downtime compared to non-fractional lasers. However, if you're not too keen on those potential factors and your needs align with what non-fractional lasers could do for your skin, your skin expert may be able to recommend it.
The biggest key you could note is understanding what your skin could take and how easily your choice of laser facial could fit into your routine. One can hope to try out a laser facial at its maximum, but if it's something that makes it hard for you to commit to, or if you constantly have to rearrange your whole routine around it, it might be harder to see the results you initially aimed for.
