Trifractional skin resurfacing
TriFractional is an advanced skin rejuvenation technology. It treats facial wrinkles and scars while causing partial or fractional skin surfacing to improve overall skin texture. TriFractional uses three different pulse technologies to deliver radio frequency (RF) energy via several micro-electrode pins. The TriFractional process enables RF energy to safely penetrate into specifically targeted layers of facial tissue to achieve dramatic skin surface renewal results. It does not overheat or damage the treated areas.
What is Trifractional Skin Resurfacing?
TriFractional energy pulses create microscopic wounds that activate the body’s natural healing response mechanism. The process also stimulates collagen fibers, vital components in the skin’s structure, to contract and regenerate or remodel in a process called neocollagenesis. By precisely targeting specific treatment areas, the TriFractional treatment ensures that zones in between the targeted areas are left intact. After the procedure, these untreated cell areas function as a natural ‘healing center’ to promote the body’s own effective healing processes.
The three-pulse technologies used in the TriFractional process successfully achieve skin rejuvenation in the following way:
• The first pulse, targets the outer skin layer (epidermis), where it destroys pinpoint size spots.
• The second pulse penetrates deeper into the skin’s dermis, heating the tissue of the targeted treatment areas.
• The third pulse penetrates and heats the skin’s mid-dermis layer.
In the dermis and mid-dermis layers, the pulse induces collagen fibers to contract and regenerate.

How Does Trifractional Skin
Resurfacing Work?
Trifractional skin resurfacing works by delivering controlled laser energy into the skin in a fractional pattern, meaning only a fraction of the skin's surface is treated at a time. The trifractional aspect involves three separate beams that penetrate different depths of the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, tighter, and more youthful in appearance.
How many sessions are typically required, and when will results be noticeable?
The number of sessions required for optimal results can vary based on individual skin concerns and treatment goals. Most individuals may see improvement after a single session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Results are often gradual, with continued improvement in skin texture and tone over the following months as
collagen production increases.
Is There Downtime After Trifractional Skin Resurfacing?
While trifractional skin resurfacing is less invasive compared to traditional ablative laser treatments, some downtime may still be expected. The extent of downtime can vary based on the individual's skin sensitivity and the aggressiveness of the treatment. Patients may experience redness, swelling, and mild discomfort immediately after the procedure, which typically subsides within a few days. It's crucial to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by the practitioner, including the use of sunscreen and avoiding certain skincare products to support the healing process.
How much much is the Trifractional Skin Resurfacing treatment?
The Trifractional is $325 per treatment.
