Fractionated lasers will burn the surface almost like in a great stone pattern, explains Dr. Ricardo Castrellon, Medical Director of the Burn Center at South Miami Hospital.
Lasers also control how deep the burn is. This procedure should be done with sedation. However, fractionated lasers can be done in an office, he says.
Lasers will work on stimulating a pigment. The skin should be prepared before the patient undergoes this type of intervention as well, he advises.
