Fractional Lasers vs. Non-Fractional: Which One’s Right for You?

Introduction

Laser resurfacing has revolutionized the way we treat wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and skin laxity. But with so many options, clients often ask: “Should I go for a fractional laser or a non-fractional one?”

At RxRejuvenate, we believe in educating our clients about the science behind these treatments so you can make informed choices for your skin goals.

 

Understanding the Basics

🔹 Non-Fractional (Traditional) Lasers

  • Treat the entire skin surface in one pass.
  • Work by removing or heating the outer layer for complete resurfacing.
  • Stronger results but also longer downtime and recovery.

🔹 Fractional Lasers

  • Deliver laser energy in tiny pixelated columns, leaving surrounding skin intact.
  • Promotes faster healing by stimulating collagen in a controlled micro-zone pattern.
  • Less downtime and safer for a broader range of skin types.

Who Should Choose Fractional Lasers?

  • Clients seeking subtle improvements with minimal downtime.
  • Those with acne scars, pigmentation, or early aging signs.
  • Individuals with darker skin types who need safer resurfacing options.

Who Benefits from Non-Fractional Lasers?

  • Clients with deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, or significant texture concerns.
  • Those willing to undergo longer downtime for more dramatic results.
  • Ideal for older skin with advanced aging changes.

Combination Approach

In some cases, dermatologists may combine fractional + non-fractional laser protocols for maximized results—balancing efficacy with safety.

Conclusion

Both fractional and non-fractional lasers have unique strengths. The right choice depends on your skin type, goals, and downtime tolerance.
