Starlux Fractional Laser is a relatively new breakthrough in dermatological science and is now widely being used to rejuvenate skin and treat a number of skin problems efficiently and effectively. Basically the Starlux Fractional Laser uses a non ablative method to resurface the skin leaving it looking fresh, clear and youthful. It is popularly known for its diverse functionality and can be used safely on any part of your body and is commonly used on the following areas:

Face
Neck
Back of the arms
Chest
Back
Abdomen

The Starlux Fractional Laser gives out small beams of light directly on the affected area. The microbeams have photons of high energy and these penetrate the lower layers of the skin without damaging the top layer called the epidermis. In the lower layers and chiefly in the endodermis it stimulates rejuvenation by causing greater synthesis of collagen and elastic fibers which hold the skin more tightly to the under layers giving it a healthy and youthful appearance. This working of the Starlux Fractional Laser is effective in treating the following problems:

Revision of acne scars
Erase sun spots and reduce discoloration or patched pigmentation of skin
Reduce the signs of aging skin
Remove skin lines and facial wrinkles by filling them in with collagen molecules
Decreases the intensity of melasma
Removes pigmented spots to give you an even tone complexion
 

While the microbeams will not permanently erase signs of aging they will show results for at least nine to eighteen months essentially allowing you to age gracefully. Depending upon which type of skin problem you are having this treatment done you will need to sit for 3-6 sessions where each session lasts for about 30 minutes. The procedure is slightly painful but with a topical anesthetic 30 minutes before the procedure makes it painless and comfortable. Another reason why many people prefer using the Starlux Fractional Laser over others is that it is a non ablative laser which means that it has minimal side effects, is low risks of complications, faster recovery time and minimal downtime.

While it may cause a few mild reactions in the skin right after the procedure, the reactions are not something that you need to worry about too much. Some mild redness may be seen over the treated area but this should disappear in just 2-6 hours after the treatment and if some if dryness is experienced a moisturizer will fix it easily. The cost of this treatment is dependent on the number of sessions and the area being treated and could be priced at $300-$400 while a full facial treatment could range in thousands.
