Targeted Skin Renewal with Fractional Light-Based Resurfacing
Refine Skin Texture, Reduce Scars, and Reveal a Smoother Surface
As we age, our skin begins to hold on to the signs of time, acne scars that never quite faded, fine lines that deepen, and rough texture that no moisturiser can fix. If you’re hoping to smooth and refresh your skin deeply, fractional light-based resurfacing may be a suitable option.
At Dr Joyce Lim Skin & Laser Clinic, we offer a non-surgical treatment that gently resurfaces the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of scarring, improve skin texture, and support natural skin renewal.
What It Does
This skin-resurfacing treatment uses a combination of energy types to reach both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. Micro-fractions of skin are treated in a patterned approach, which helps trigger the skin’s own healing and regeneration processes while leaving surrounding tissue untouched for quicker recovery.
It’s commonly recommended for:
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dull or rough texture
- Uneven skin tone
- Early signs of ageing
What to Expect During Treatment
The treatment is performed in-clinic and typically lasts 30–60 minutes depending on the area. A numbing cream may be applied beforehand to ensure comfort. You may feel a warm sensation or light prickling during the session.
After treatment, the skin may appear red or slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. Over the next few days, mild peeling or roughness is expected as the skin renews itself. Downtime varies but is usually manageable with proper aftercare.
Gradual Improvement Over Time
You may begin to notice improvements in texture and tone within a few weeks, with results continuing to develop over time as the skin rebuilds collagen and renews from within. A series of treatments may be recommended, spaced several weeks apart, for optimal results.
Who It’s For
This treatment is suitable for women who are looking to address acne scars, early wrinkles, or general skin roughness without undergoing surgery. It can also be combined with other treatments as part of a personalised skin plan.
Dr Joyce Lim will assess your skin condition and discuss your goals before recommending a customised approach that fits your skin type and lifestyle.
Post-Treatment Care
After the session, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and follow any post-care instructions provided. A gentle skincare routine will support healing and help maintain results.
Feel Confident in Your Skin Again
If your skin concerns are affecting how you feel in your own skin, whether it’s scars, texture, or early signs of ageing, this treatment may help restore a smooth, even complexion. Speak with Dr Joyce Lim today to find out if fractional skin resurfacing is right for you.
