What is thulium fractional laser?

The thulium 1927nm laser uses a 1927nm thulium wavelength that is selectively absorbed by water in skin cells. This makes it highly effective for superficial skin concerns — it targets the epidermis and superficial dermis to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate fresh cell turnover, without the recovery time of more aggressive ablative lasers.

What does it treat?

  • Uneven skin tone and dullness
  • Surface pigmentation and sunspots
  • Rough skin texture
  • Fine lines and early wrinkles
  • Enlarged pores
  • General skin quality improvement

Results

Results are typically visible within 1–2 weeks as the skin renews itself. A series of 3–5 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal improvement. This treatment is often combined with picosecond laser for a more comprehensive pigmentation and resurfacing protocol.

How does this differ from older 1550nm fractional lasers? +
Both use fractional non-ablative technology, but thulium 1927nm lasers which is particularly effective for surface pigmentation and tone. It generally has a gentler profile with less downtime than traditional Fraxel 1550nm treatments.
What is the downtime? +
Most patients experience 2–4 days of mild redness, warmth, and slight peeling or "bronzing" of the skin as old cells shed. This is normal and expected. Most patients can resume work with makeup after 2–3 days.
