Deep Skin Renewal with Minimal Risk

At the Dermatology and Vein Institute Australia (DVIA), we offer fractional ablative laser resurfacing (ProFractional or Fractional CO2) — a powerful, customisable laser treatment designed to dramatically improve your skin’s texture, tone, and firmness. This advanced procedure is ideal for targeting the visible signs of ageing, sun damage, and acne scarring with long-lasting results.

What is Fractional Ablative Laser Resurfacing?

Fractional ablative laser resurfacing works by creating thousands of tiny, controlled channels in the skin using a fractional erbium laser. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process and boosts new collagen production, helping to smooth wrinkles, tighten skin, fade scars, and improve pigmentation.

Because only a fraction of the skin is treated, surrounding tissue remains intact — allowing for faster healing and reduced risks compared to fully ablative laser resurfacing.

What Does It Treat?

Fractional ablative laser is highly effective for:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and surgical scars
Sun damage and pigmentation
Skin laxity and uneven skin tone
Rough texture and large pores

It can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.

What to expect

Before Your Treatment

Your skin will be assessed by one of our dermatologists or laser specialists. The treatment depth and intensity will be customised based on your skin goals and downtime preferences.

During the Procedure

The procedure takes 1 to 2 hours, including numbing time
A topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort
You may feel a warm or tingling sensation during treatment

After Treatment

Redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation are expected
Downtime is usually around 4 – 7 days, depending on the depth of treatment
Peeling and flaking may occur as the skin renews

We’ll provide specific aftercare instructions and healing support

Results begin to appear after the first week, with continued improvements over several months as collagen rebuilds.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Most patients see significant improvement after just one session. However, for deeper wrinkles or scarring, a series of 2–3 treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
