What is Thermal Fractional Resurfacing Skin Rejuvenation Treatment?
This treatment is an advanced technology which uses a unique combination of heat and motion, delivering superior results with less discomfort than other treatments, such as laser. The process can simultaneously tighten skin, boost collagen, minimise scarring and sun damage, and deliver deep topical product penetration.
There are multiple options for depth of treatment depending on your individual skin concern. Suitability for your skin concern and depth of treatment will be assessed and discussed at your initial consultation.
How Does it work?
The instrument tip works by delivering 400 degree heat through 81 tiny points. These treatments can be either Ablative or Non-Ablative.
In non-ablative treatments, in the milliseconds in which the tip of the hand piece makes contact with the skin, it safely delivers thermal energy and creates tiny non-ablative coagulation sites, allowing for enhanced permeability for topical active ingredients which are applied after the procedure, e.g. retinol or a cocktail of super-antioxidants such as Vitamin A, C and E.
The downtime is minimal for this depth. An ablative treatment is a deeper treatment with higher energy settings and provides a true resurfacing action, thus producing more dramatic results on fine lines and wrinkles and acne scarring.

Key Areas for Treatment:
- Eyelid Skin Tightening
- Eyes Area – fine lines and wrinkles
- Treating Acne Scarring and Sun Damage
- Pigmentation
- Melasma
- Pore Reduction and Tightening
- Crêpey Décolletage
- Aging Hands

How many Treatments will I need?
It depends on the individual’s requirements and treatment needs. The client can have just a one off treatment for skin resurfacing for an overall skin rejuvenation or if a deeper effect if required then a course of 3-6 could be done. A consultation is required to discuss options.
How often is the treatment done?
It is every 4 weeks. Other treatments such as natural acid skin peels, IPL or microdermabrasion maybe performed in between sessions.
Does it hurt and what is the downtime?
Numbing cream is recommended for the client to put on before the treatment and as you will be hearing up the skin it will make the treatment comfortable. It will feel like sunburn on your skin for a few hours after the treatment. You skin maybe red for 3/4 days and your eyes will be swollen. You skin maybe dry up to 7 days. The downtime for this resurfacing treatment compared to others on the market such as fractional resurfacing or co2 resurfacing it is minimal.

How do CO2 Laser Resurfacing and Thermal Fractional Resurfacing compare?
# 1. **Technology and Method of Action**
– **CO₂ Laser Resurfacing**:
This uses a carbon dioxide laser to deliver concentrated light energy that vaporises the outer layers of the skin. It creates controlled thermal damage to the skin’s deeper layers, promoting collagen production and skin remodeling.
– **Thermal Mechanical Resurfacing**:
This machine uses a heated titanium tip to transfer thermal energy to the skin via direct contact. Unlike CO₂ lasers, it doesn’t use light or radiation, so it doesn’t rely on photothermal interaction, which reduces some laser-related risks.
# 2. **Treatment Depth and Intensity**
– **CO₂ Laser**:
Known for being more intense, CO₂ lasers penetrate deeper into the skin, making it highly effective for moderate to severe wrinkles, deep scars, and significant skin texture issues. CO₂ lasers can achieve dramatic results but are considered more aggressive.
– **Thermal Mechanical Resurfacing**
This machine has adjustable depths and can perform both ablative and non-ablative treatments, but it is generally less intense than CO₂. It’s better suited for mild to moderate skin concerns and can be adjusted for a gentler treatment, especially for sensitive areas (e.g. eyelids).
# 3. **Pain and Comfort**
– **CO₂ Laser**:
CO₂ resurfacing can be painful, often requiring a numbing cream or even sedation. Patients typically experience a burning sensation during the treatment.
– **Thermal Mechanical Resurfacing**:
This machine is typically more comfortable. While a numbing cream is sometimes used, the pain level is often lower than with CO₂, as it doesn’t penetrate as deeply or use light energy that can add discomfort.
# 4. **Side Effects and Recovery Time**
– **CO₂ Laser**:
Due to its intensity, CO₂ laser treatment has a longer recovery period, often 1-2 weeks, with redness, swelling, and peeling. There’s also a higher risk of side effects such as hyperpigmentation (especially in darker skin tones), scarring, or infection if not performed properly.
– **Thermal Mechanical Resurfacing**:
It has a shorter recovery time—typically 1-3 days of redness and mild swelling. It’s generally considered safer for a broader range of skin tones and carries a lower risk of hyperpigmentation. This makes it suitable for patients who want effective resurfacing with minimal downtime.
# 5. **Results and Treatment Frequency**
– **CO₂ Laser**:
Because of its intensity, CO₂ resurfacing can provide more dramatic, long-lasting results, often with just one session. This makes it ideal for people with severe skin aging or deeper scars.
– **Thermal Mechanical Resurfacing**:
Results from this are more subtle and may require multiple sessions (usually 3-6) to achieve comparable results to CO₂, especially for deeper issues. The effects build up gradually, making it a good option for those looking for a gentler, more progressive improvement.
# 6. **Suitability for Different Skin Types**
– **CO₂ Laser**:
Best for lighter skin tones, as there is a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin types. Patients with very fair or sensitive skin need to approach with caution.
– **Thermal Mechanical Resurfacing**:
Suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones, as it has a lower risk of pigmentation issues and scarring. This makes this machine a more versatile option for a diverse patient base.
# Summary
– **CO₂ Laser Resurfacing**:
More intense, with longer-lasting and dramatic results but comes with higher discomfort, longer recovery, and more risk of side effects. Ideal for severe wrinkles, deep acne scars, and significant skin rejuvenation.
– **Thermal Mechanical Resurfacing**:
Less aggressive, with minimal downtime and lower side effect risk, making it suitable for patients looking for gradual, moderate improvement. Ideal for mild to moderate signs of aging and skin imperfections and safe for a range of skin tones.
In short, CO₂ laser is powerful and best for significant skin issues with a tolerance for downtime, while Thermal Mechanical Resurfacing offers a milder, more comfortable option with minimal downtime, suitable for those who prefer a gradual enhancement.
