Fractional laser treatment is a non-invasive treatment that uses a device to deliver a laser beam divided into thousands of microscopic treatment zones that target a fraction of the skin at a time. This is similar to a photographic image being enhanced or altered pixel by pixel.

Fractional laser treatment has bridged the gap between the ablative (vaporise) and non-ablative laser techniques used to treat sun-damaged and ageing skin. Whilst ablative laser treatments work mainly on the epidermis (surface skin cells), and non-ablative treatments work solely on dermal collagen (mid-layer of skin), fractional laser treatment works at both the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin.

Traditional un-fractionated CO2 lasers target 100% of the treated area. This prolongs recovery time and increases the risks of laser resurfacing.
