Fractional Laser Treatments Explained: How They Work, Benefits, and Aftercare
In this episode of the Facially Conscious Podcast, we take a closer look at fractional laser treatments, a widely used skin resurfacing procedure performed by board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
Dr. Vicki Rapaport, our board-certified dermatologist and co-host, guides the conversation by explaining what fractional lasers are, how they work, and how they differ from other types of laser treatments used in dermatology. We explore what fractional laser resurfacing can address—including skin texture, tone, fine lines, and acne scarring—and who may be an appropriate candidate for this procedure.
This episode also focuses on one of the most important—and often overlooked—parts of laser treatment: post-procedure skincare and aftercare. Proper aftercare plays a key role in healing, safety, and results, and Dr. Rapaport shares clear guidance on how to support your skin following fractional laser treatment.
Designed for skincare-curious listeners and professionals alike, this discussion offers grounded, educational insight into laser resurfacing, skin healing, and evidence-informed decision-making—without hype or unrealistic promises.
