Enjoy Smoother Skin With Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Dr. Sumit Bapna offers a variety of advanced fractional laser resurfacing treatments to correct rough, crepey, blemished, or sun-damaged skin and promote the production of healthy, new skin cells. The result? An even skin tone that radiates a more youthful glow.
In our Dublin Ohio office, we understand that surgical procedures achieve powerful results yet they will not reach their full potential if the quality of the skin is not addressed.
What Is Fractional Laser Resurfacing?
Fractional laser resurfacing is an innovative treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin by targeting specific areas with highly concentrated laser beams. Unlike traditional lasers that treat the entire skin surface for photoaging, fractional laser technology creates microscopic skin injuries that initiate the healing process, including the reorganization of the collagen matrix. This dermal remodeling process can last up to 12 months, with initial results appearing almost instantly and more long-term results such as collagen production building up gradually over time. At Ohio Facial Plastics, we use ActiveFX, DeepFX, Lutronic LaseMD Ultra, and Lutronic eCO2 Plus Laser to offer clinically proven cosmetic treatments to our Dublin and Columbus patients.

What to Expect From Your Fractional Laser Resurfacing Treatment
at OhioFace
Aging and the deterioration of skin quality are unavoidable and often accelerated by exposure to UV rays and other natural elements. Dr. Bapna uses this minimally invasive laser procedure to address a variety of skin concerns leaving your skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
Our Laser Resurfacing Machines
Fractional laser treatments stand out because they target only a portion of the skin’s surface, rather than removing entire layers. The laser is divided into numerous micro-beams that treat specific sections of the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This selective approach promotes quicker healing, reduces the risk of infection, and significantly cuts down recovery time—so you won’t be dealing with a red, raw appearance for weeks on end. At Ohio Facial Plastics we work with a selection of fractional laser resurfacing machines to achieve the best laser resurfacing results possible.
ActiveFX
ActiveFX is a highly advanced form of fractional laser resurfacing that delivers powerful results. During this CO2 laser resurfacing procedure, high-energy laser beams target the outer layer of the skin causing it to peel away and regenerate a layer of healthy, new skin. The laser targets the skin in pin-point columns leaving adjacent areas untouched for a safer healing process. This innovative treatment:
- Causes immediate skin tightening
- Softens deeper frown lines
- Stimulates new collagen formation and plumps the skin
DeepFX
Treat extensively aged, sun-damaged, and deeply wrinkled skin with this advanced ablative CO2 skin resurfacing device. DeepFX applies deep heat to your skin to stimulate the production of collagen to treat stubborn scars and hard-to-treat skin conditions. While ActiveFX focuses on the outer layer of your skin, DeepDX works from the inside out, kickstarting the facial rejuvenation process from within.
- Improves wrinkles, scars, folds and stretch marks
- Noticeably improves skin tone and texture
- Stimulates new collagen formation and plumps the skin
Lutronic LaseMD Ultra
LaseMD by Lutronic is a state-of-the-art Korean resurfacing device that targets only the superficial layers of the skin to achieve quick and gentle skin rejuvenation. It utilizes sub-ablative, fractional technology that vaporizes and coagulates tissue at a superficial level, all while preserving the outer layer of the skin. Patients can enjoy almost instant results with minimal downtime.
- Rebuild healthy skin
- Rejuvenate pigmented skin
- Resurface fine lines and wrinkles
Lutronic eCO2 Plus
Say goodbye to pigmentation, burn scars, and other unwanted skin conditions thanks to the Lutronic eCO2 Plus. This advanced fractional CO2 laser system is designed for precise skin resurfacing and rejuvenation with reduced procedure time and discomfort. The eCO2 Plus has intelligent features such as real-time calibration and customizable scan patterns, ensuring safety and effectiveness for all skin types.

Treatments
Dr. Bapna recognizes that each skin is different. That is why patients for fractional laser resurfacing in Dublin, Ohio are offered highly individualized treatments.
Discuss Your Skin Condition in an Initial Consultation
Our expertly trained medical staff will examine your skin, assess your medical history, and listen to your aesthetic goals to decipher the best skin laser resurfacing treatment for you. During the initial consultation, a treatment plan will also be discussed.
Pre-Treatment Planning
To achieve your permanent ‘just had a facial glow’ Dr. Bapna and his staff will guide you through the ins and outs of the entire process. Before a fractionated laser resurfacing treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure and refrain from using retinoids for at least two weeks. If your treatment includes CO2 lasers, prepare for 7-10 days of downtime.
Your Fractional Laser Resurfacing Treatment
The fractional resurfacing laser treatment takes between 1-2 hours depending on the patient’s skin type and aesthetic goals. Dr. Bapna will choose the best laser for skin resurfacing based on your needs. Mild to moderate discomfort is to be expected and topical anesthetic is applied to sensitive areas of the face such as the eye or mouth area. During the procedure, the laser device is passed over the skin as it emits medical-grade laser light that is absorbed by the skin and removes the outer layer so that collagen production and skin cell rejuvenation can kickstart the healing process.
Immediate and Post-Treatment Care
While in some cases results start to show almost instantly, the skin resurfacing process is gradual. Don’t panic if you start to see redness, swelling, or peeling several days to weeks post-treatment. This is a normal reaction that signifies your skin’s natural healing process in motion. Over the weeks, you will start to see improvements in your skin’s tone, texture, and appearance. Fractional laser treatment recovery is quick and normal activities can be resumed, in most cases, the next day with non-ablative treatments, and after 1 week after CO2 laser treatments
Follow-up Appointments
While in some cases a single treatment is sufficient, it is not uncommon for multiple sessions to be required to achieve the best results. At Ohio Facial Plastics, we do everything we can to minimize patient downtime and maximize long-lasting, radiant results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Fractional Laser Resurfacing?
Schedule your consultationDr. Bapna can help you decide if this treatment is right for you or if other skin resurfacing treatments such as UltraLase MD™, Forever Young BBL, or chemical peels are better suited to your needs.
The best candidates for a fractionated laser resurfacing treatment are healthy individuals with realistic expectations about improving a general range of skin imperfections. Fractionated laser resurfacing is also great for reducing other types of scars (including scars from a facelift or other cosmetic procedures), birthmarks, and sun-damaged skin.
- If a patient has active acne, it is highly recommended that you clear up the acne with other treatments first. This will help prevent any possible infection and should help treat acne more effectively.
- People with darker skin color, deep wrinkles, or skin that sags to an extreme degree should explore other alternatives for improving their skin.
