Fractional Laser for Acne and Scar Treatment
Fractional laser is an advanced technology that targets damaged skin and stimulates the skin’s natural renewal process. This results in smoother, healthier, and younger-looking skin. At Dr. Sedef Demirer’s dermatology clinic in Alsancak, Izmir, fractional laser is applied to treat acne scars, pigmentation, fine lines, and enlarged pores.

FAQs about Fractional Laser for Acne Scars
How does fractional laser treat acne scars?
It creates controlled micro-channels on the skin surface, triggering the skin’s healing process. Acne scars, depressions, and sagging are reduced while the skin texture improves and smooths.
Is it suitable for everyone?
Fractional laser is generally safe for most skin types. However, a dermatologist evaluation is required if there are active infections, open wounds, or certain skin conditions.
Is it painful, and how long does it take?
Patients may feel mild stinging or warmth. Sessions usually last 20–40 minutes, with topical anesthesia or cooling systems ensuring comfort.
How many sessions are needed, and when are results visible?
Depending on scar severity, 3–6 sessions are typically recommended. Improvement becomes noticeable as sessions progress, with maximum skin renewal appearing over a few months.
Post-treatment care:
Skin will be sensitive; avoid sun exposure for 24–48 hours, limit makeup, and follow dermatologist-recommended skincare. Mild redness or crusting is normal and usually resolves in a few days.
