Fractional laser therapy works by creating numerous microscopic thermal injury zones on the skin through tiny laser beams, stimulating collagen regeneration, thus achieving skin tightening, scar reduction, and improvement of skin tone. The cost typically ranges from 500 to 5000 yuan per session, depending on factors such as the type of equipment used, the treatment area and size, as well as the severity of the condition.

There are various brands and models of fractional laser devices, and differences in performance and effectiveness among different devices lead to variations in cost. Advanced technology, high treatment precision, and better safety usually correspond to higher prices, ranging from 2000 to 5000 yuan per session. Domestic mid-to-low-end devices are relatively less expensive, costing approximately 500 to 2000 yuan per session. Facial skin is more sensitive and requires higher treatment standards, so the cost is generally higher, ranging from 2000 to 5000 yuan per session. For areas such as the neck and arms, the price may be slightly lower, typically around 500 to 3000 yuan per session. If the patient's skin condition is severe and requires multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, the total cost will increase accordingly.

When choosing fractional laser treatment, patients are advised to make reasonable decisions based on their individual conditions and financial capacity, and undergo standardized treatment under a physician's guidance. Post-treatment skincare is important, including avoiding direct sunlight, using sunscreen, and keeping the skin clean and moisturized to promote recovery. If any discomfort occurs during or after treatment, patients should contact their doctor promptly.
