The Icon™ Non-Ablative Fractional device generates small beams of light onto selected areas of the skin. These microbeams penetrate the lower layers of the skin and stimulate the synthesis of newer collagen. In addition, the heat energy also stimulates the growth of more elastic fibers. The end result is filling up of the wrinkles with the newer collagen molecules and a skin that is tighter and smoother looking. The most common skin disorders treated with non-ablative fractional include revision of acne scars, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing stretch marks, and decreasing the intensity of melasma (paired with IPL).

Frequently Asked Questions About Fractional Skin Rejuvenation
Non-ablative Fractional Skin Rejuvenation is a non-surgical skin treatment designed to improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality. It works by delivering controlled laser energy to tiny, targeted areas of the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This “fractional” approach encourages the skin to repair itself naturally. As the skin heals, new collagen is produced, helping smooth uneven areas and refresh the skin’s appearance. Because only small sections are treated at a time, the skin can recover more efficiently while still achieving noticeable improvement.
Non-ablative Fractional Skin Rejuvenation is versatile and can help improve several common skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles by supporting collagen renewal.
- Acne scars by smoothing uneven texture.
- Minimizing pore size.
- Rough or uneven skin texture for a more refined appearance.
- Mild skin laxity by promoting firmness over time.
This treatment can be tailored to suit various skin types and concerns, making it a popular choice for overall skin rejuvenation.
Before treatment, patients typically undergo a consultation to review their skin concerns and determine the most suitable settings. On the day of the session, the skin is numbed with a topical numbing agent, cleansed and prepared. Treatment times vary but often range from 30 to 60 minutes. Patients may feel warmth or a light prickling sensation during the procedure. The team at Laser Center of Orlando prioritizes comfort, safety, and professionalism throughout every visit, ensuring patients feel informed and supported from start to finish.
The number of sessions required varies based on personal skin objectives and the specific issue being addressed. Numerous patients see improvements from undergoing a series of treatments, typically scheduled a few weeks apart. Some improvement may be visible after the first session, with further enhancement as collagen continues to develop over time. Results can last for months or longer, especially when paired with proper skincare and sun protection. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve long-term improvements.
Most patients experience minimal downtime following treatment. Temporary redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation is common and usually resolves within a few days. Some mild flaking or dryness may occur as the skin heals. These effects are typically short-lived. Following post-treatment instructions—such as moisturizing, avoiding sun exposure, and using gentle skincare—helps support healing and optimize results.
Ideal candidates are individuals seeking to enhance their skin texture, tone, or address early signs of aging without resorting to surgery. The treatment is often suitable for adults of various ages and skin types. However, certain conditions—such as active skin infections, recent sunburn, or specific medical concerns—may require postponing treatment. A consultation allows providers to assess skin health, discuss goals, and determine whether Fractional Skin Rejuvenation is the right option.
