Everything About the Fractional Laser Treatment

Do you want to get rid of bothersome scars, fine lines, or sagging skin? Are you looking for an effective, scientifically proven solution? At Juuls Clinic in Amsterdam, we work with advanced fractional laser technology. We explain how this "gold standard" for skin improvement works, what the recovery time involves, and why our clients in Amsterdam and the surrounding area are so enthusiastic about it.

What is the Fractional Laser and How Does it Work?

It's actually quite simple. You want your skin to look and feel better, and you can achieve that with a Fractional Laser. The term 'fractional' means that the laser beam is divided into thousands of tiny, controlled micro-beams.

At Juuls Clinic, we use the advanced Harmony XL Pro laser with a wavelength of 2940nm. This equipment is designed to treat the outer layers of the skin with great precision. The laser beam creates small, controlled micro-channels in the skin. This may sound intense, but these tiny channels are the absolute key to your success!

Through this controlled "damage," your skin receives a signal: time to repair and renew! This is the moment your skin's own natural healing process is initiated. Your body’s reaction is the production of:

  1. New Skin Cells: Damaged cells are replaced by a fresh, even layer of skin.

  2. More Collagen and Elastin: These are the essential building blocks that make your skin tighter and firmer.

In short: we use the power of the fractional laser to rejuvenate and repair your skin from the inside out, resulting in a visibly improved skin texture.

Fractional Laser in Amsterdam: Which Conditions Are Suitable for Treatment?

The Fractional Laser treatment is ideal if you notice your skin could use a boost and you don't mind a short recovery period.

The most common conditions we treat at Juuls Clinic Amsterdam include:

  • Scar Reduction: This is the absolute strength of this laser. Think of stubborn acne scars, wound scars, or surgical scars.

  • Skin Aging and Fine Lines: For softening crow's feet and early wrinkles around the mouth.

  • Improving Skin Texture: Makes coarse skin texture and enlarged pores appear finer and more even.

  • Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen for noticeably tighter and firmer skin.

In short: If your skin shows signs of damage or aging, and you aim for smoother, tighter skin, this might be exactly what you need.

What Does 'Downtime' Involve After a Fractional Laser Treatment?

This is an important question. Because we work effectively with the fractional laser to achieve results, there is a short recovery time—or downtime.

What you can expect after the Fractional Laser treatment:

  • Immediately After Treatment: The skin will be red and feel warm, similar to a strong sunburn. This is completely normal!

  • Recovery Period (5 to 7 days): The skin may remain red, gently peel, and be sensitive. This is the period where the "old" skin is shed, and the new, fresh skin emerges. Sometimes the tiny points from the laser (the micro-channels) are briefly visible as small brown scabs, but these disappear within a few days.

Our Advice: Schedule this treatment wisely, for instance, at the start of a week when you don't have immediate important appointments. Applying the aftercare creams we recommend and strictly avoiding the sun (or using a high SPF) for the first few weeks is crucial for fast and optimal results.
