Fractional Laser Treatment
Fractional laser treatment is a non-surgical treatment administered with a laser device to deliver a laser beam divided into thousands of microscopic areas targeting a portion of the skin at a time. It is a skin rejuvenating treatment used to treat your aging or sun-damaged skin. With this treatment, your skin will restore its former radiance and youthful appearance.
What is fractional laser treatment?
Fractional laser therapy is a skin restoring treatment commonly used to treat sun-damaged and ageing skin. There are two types of fractional laser: Ablative and non-ablative.
Ablative laser treatments affect mainly the epidermis (surface skin cells) and non-ablative treatments only on the dermal collagen (middle layer of the skin), i.e. ablative lasers cause more peeling and crusting, while non-ablative ones allow an immediate return to daily activities.
Both ablative and non-ablative devices are available according to the needs of the skin.

Patient Stories About Our Services
My experience with Dr Burak was amazing I flew from Spain and it was the best decision ever, excellent job and so professional I recommend it for sure
I have been Burak's patient for a long time. He has been successfully delivering his services at the best of quality and profession. His Clinic TrustMed is also a beautiful, comfortable and hygienic place equipped with clean and high-tech equipment. I would recommend him for any plastic surgeries.
I had prominent ear surgery a 2month ago and I was very pleased with the result. Doctor Burak is a very friendly, kind and talented doctor, he performed the surgery as I wanted and produced a wonderful result, I'm really gratefull to him and I'm going to tell everyone about my experience..
Though still active, by my late 40s I had grown some small love handles and a bit of a tummy. I found Quartz Clinique on Google but was impressed enough by videos and reviews to schedule a trip to do a hi-def lipo procedure with Dr. Burak. Literally overnight (after a 6 hour surgery under general anesthesia), my sides are now flat and I have 6-pack abs that I had no idea were under there! A year later I’m still amazed every time I see myself in a mirror. I’ve just made another trip because I discovered just how many services they perform, and at a fraction of the price of doing the same work in the U.S., but I’m realizing I’m remiss for not gushing about my experience last summer, which was transformational. As everyone attests, Dr. Burak could not be more kind or professional. After a consultation you walk away feeling 100% trust, and then he delivers on exactly what he says he’ll do. I can’t recommend him highly enough…
Thanks Dr. Burak for so amazing job, i’m more than happy with these amazing results, may god protect your amazing hands, for continuing making people smile and good looking

What Is Fractional Laser Treatment?
Fractional laser treatment is a skin treatment method where laser energy is applied intermittently to specific areas of the skin. This treatment is used to alleviate wrinkles, spots, scars, and other skin problems, promoting skin renewal and rejuvenation. Fractional laser targets microscopic areas of the skin, focusing on the upper layer of the skin to improve damage and increase collagen production. This treatment is typically characterized by minimal skin irritation and short recovery times, allowing patients to quickly return to their daily activities.
Why Do People Get Fractional Laser Treatment?
- Addressing Skin Issues: Fractional laser treatment is an effective method for addressing various skin problems. This treatment can reduce blemishes, wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation issues causing uneven skin tone, and other skin imperfections.
- Skin Rejuvenation and Renewal: Fractional laser treatment stimulates skin renewal and rejuvenation. By increasing collagen and elastin production in the skin's deeper layers, laser light helps achieve tighter, smoother, and younger-looking skin.
- Reducing Acne and Acne Scars: Fractional laser treatment can be used to diminish acne and acne scars. The laser light reduces the activity of oil glands in the skin, preventing acne formation and improving the appearance of existing scars.
- Correcting Skin Tone: Fractional laser treatment may be preferred to correct skin tone irregularities caused by factors such as sun damage or aging. By targeting pigment issues in the skin, laser light helps achieve a more even skin tone.
- Minimal Invasiveness and Quick Recovery: Fractional laser treatment is generally a minimally invasive procedure with a short recovery time. As a result, patients can quickly return to their work and daily activities.
- Aesthetic Improvement and Increased Confidence: The skin healing and rejuvenation achieved through fractional laser treatment can lead to satisfaction with one's aesthetic appearance and an overall increase in self-confidence.
What Is the Fractional Laser Treatment Method?
- Consultation: The first step is a consultation with a dermatologist or aesthetic specialist. During this stage, the skin is assessed, the patient's desires are heard, and the areas for treatment are determined.
- Preparation: Before treatment, the skin is cleansed, and sometimes anesthetic cream is applied. The anesthetic cream numbs the skin and reduces discomfort during the procedure.
- Laser Application: Energy is applied to the skin using a laser device. The laser focuses on microscopic areas of the skin, creating controlled thermal damage at specific depths.
- Healing and Renewal: The laser energy stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, promoting skin renewal. This process leads to skin rejuvenation and reduction of unwanted wrinkles, spots, or scars.
- Final Check-up and Care Instructions: After the procedure is completed, the skin is checked again, and post-treatment care instructions are provided to the patient. These instructions may include reducing skin irritation, using sun protection, and supporting the healing process.
