Ablative fractional lasers - the key to self-regeneration
Ablative fractional laser treatments have been considered one of the most effective procedures in aesthetic medicine for many years. They also perfectly align with the current trend of living in harmony with nature, as they utilize natural regeneration processes in our bodies. Let's take a closer look at them.
Ablation is the process of evaporating water in cells due to rapid heating with a laser beam. Along with the water, the tissue in which this water was located also evaporates. Ablation has been used in medicine for many years (especially in cardiothoracic surgery). In the case of the skin, ablation triggers regeneration processes and contracts collagen fibers. The latter thickens the skin, making it firmer and more elastic. The regenerative processes rejuvenate the skin, making it smoother, more even in texture and tone. All benefits. And the downsides? Recovery time. The early ablative lasers from the early 1960s had a relatively large treatment area (up to several mm²), resulting in significantly prolonged recovery time and a very painful procedure.
Necessity is the mother of invention, so scientists faced with this problem invented fractional lasers.
The term "fractional" means division into parts. And that's how the name of these lasers should be literally interpreted. Instead of a broad impact, fractional lasers create point-like pulses evenly distributed over the treatment surface. This results in columns of evaporated tissues.
Fractionation allows for shorter skin healing time while maintaining the effectiveness of the procedure.
Strong tissue damage at the laser treatment site triggers regeneration processes. What distinguishes lasers is that their high temperature particularly affects heat shock proteins (HSP). These proteins are among the most potent catalysts of regeneration. Their activation is responsible for initiating the production of additional collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the condition and appearance of our skin.
Ablative treatments damage the skin at the epidermis level, but some fractional lasers allow for action bypassing the epidermal layer, targeting only deeper layers of the skin, which also has its advantages.
In summary, ablative fractional lasers allow us to improve the appearance and health of our skin in a way that is natural for our bodies.
We recommend
Fractional lasers deliver excellent results in removing stretch marks. Laser therapy uses light to reach deep into the sublayers of the skin to repair and regenerate skin cells. Laser energy creates controlled micro-injuries in the tissue and stimulates protein coagulation and water evaporation, resulting in the multiplication of collagen fibers and the formation of new skin cells in the stretch mark areas. Rebuilding damaged tissue results in smoother skin with improved texture and color. Although laser therapy may not make stretch marks disappear completely, it can significantly smooth and lighten them.
Precise Dermal Layer Tightening – Rebuilding the Support Structure of the Face
SoftLift is an advanced laser procedure performed using a non-ablative fractional laser with a wavelength of 1570 nm. The procedure combines precise fractional thermal stimulation with controlled skin regeneration – without damaging its surface.
This is a solution for patients who expect a real lifting effect, improved firmness, and wrinkle smoothing but do not want to undergo the intensive recovery typical of ablative lasers. The procedure works deep in the dermis, leaving the epidermis largely intact, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.
How the Procedure Works – Biological Mechanism in Tissues
The 1570 nm laser selectively interacts with the water in the tissues, generating controlled thermal energy within the dermis. This is precise, programmed reparative stimulation.
- Fractional thermal micro-injuries in the dermis
→ columns of coagulation form without epidermal ablation
→ initiation of a cascade of regenerative processes
- Controlled heating of collagen fibers
→ immediate effect of their shortening and tightening
→ subtle but noticeable lifting effect after the first treatment
- Strong stimulation of fibroblasts
→ stimulation of neocollagenesis (synthesis of new type I and III collagen)
→ increased elastin production and reorganization of the extracellular matrix
- Skin remodeling over 6–12 weeks
→ thickening of the dermis
→ improvement of the facial support architecture
This process is physiological and gradual – the skin is not "tightened" but rebuilt from within. This is the key difference between biological stimulation and a short-term masking effect.
Who is SoftLift Recommended For?
The procedure is recommended for patients who notice the first signs of aging or want to strengthen the skin structure without aggressive methods.
- Loss of firmness and elasticity of the facial skin
- Drooping of the oval, loss of jawline contour definition
- Moderate static and dynamic wrinkles
- Sagging skin on the cheeks and lower face
- Thin, "paper-like" skin requiring thickening
- Enlarged pores and uneven texture
- Anti-aging prevention in patients 30+
SoftLift is especially appreciated by professionally active individuals – regenerative effect with minimal downtime is one of the most important decision-making parameters today.
Skin Types
The procedure is safe for most skin phototypes (I–IV according to Fitzpatrick).
- Normal and dry skin – improved density and elasticity
- Combination skin – additional regulation of structure and pores
- Mature skin – intensive support remodeling
- Sensitive skin – the ability to work with individually adjusted parameters
Each treatment protocol is established after consultation and skin condition analysis.
Effects – What Does the Patient Actually Notice?
SoftLift does not give a "fake tightening" effect. It works subtly but consistently, which is why its results are natural and long-lasting.
- Visible tightening and lifting of the facial oval – improved jawline contour and lifting of the lower cheek areas
- Thickening and strengthening of skin structure – skin becomes more "springy" to the touch
- Reduction of wrinkles – both fine lines and moderate furrows
- Smoothing of skin texture – reduced pores and improved surface uniformity
- Illumination and color improvement – effect of fresh, healthier skin
- Slowing of aging processes – activation of natural repair mechanisms
The full results develop gradually over several weeks. The skin not only looks better – it genuinely becomes biologically younger.
Frequency of Treatments – Therapy Plan
The therapy strategy depends on the biological age of the skin and its degree of laxity.
- Series of 3 treatments
→ intervals of 4–6 weeks
→ optimal collagen remodeling
- Maintenance therapy
→ 1 treatment every 6–12 months
→ maintaining the effect of thickening and lifting
In some cases, SoftLift is combined with other technologies (e.g., CO2 laser, tissue biostimulants, microneedle radiofrequency), creating a multi-level, strategic rejuvenation plan.

Laser Skin Tightening and Rejuvenation with Fractional, Non-Ablative 1570 nm Technology
Hands age faster than the face – they have thin skin, a small amount of fatty tissue, and are constantly exposed to UV radiation and environmental factors. SoftLift for Hands is an advanced treatment performed using a fractional laser with a non-ablative wavelength of 1570 nm, which allows for deep skin regeneration without damaging its surface.
The treatment focuses on rebuilding the supportive structure of the dermis, improving its density and elasticity, and reducing signs of aging – in a controlled manner, without aggressive ablation and without long recovery time.
How the Treatment Works – Biological Mechanism in Tissues
The 1570 nm technology selectively targets water in the dermis, initiating repair processes and collagen remodeling.
- Fractional thermal microzones in the dermis
→ controlled columns of coagulation are created without damaging the epidermis
→ initiation of a natural regeneration response
- Heating and shortening of existing collagen fibers
→ immediate subtle skin tightening
→ improvement in tissue cohesion
- Stimulation of fibroblasts
→ increased production of new collagen types I and III
→ enhanced elastin synthesis
- Remodeling of the extracellular matrix
→ densification of the dermis
→ improvement in its strength and elasticity
The rebuilding process takes several weeks – the skin is not masked but biologically rejuvenated. This is crucial in hand therapy, where skin quality determines a youthful appearance.
Who is the Treatment Recommended For?
SoftLift for Hands is recommended for individuals who notice a loss of firmness and signs of photoaging.
- Skin laxity and thinning of the hands
- Visibility of tendons and vascular structures
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Uneven texture and loss of smoothness
- Signs of photoaging (roughness, dullness)
- Anti-aging prophylaxis for patients 30+
The treatment can be performed as a standalone therapy or as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation program (e.g., combined with biostimulators or pigmentation therapy).
Skin Types
The procedure is safe for most skin phototypes (I–IV). Parameters are individually selected after analyzing the condition of the hand skin.
- Thin and delicate skin – possibility of working in protocols with controlled energy
- Mature skin – more intensive densifying stimulation
- Dry skin – improvement in quality and ability to retain moisture
Personalization of parameters is key to achieving rejuvenation effects without the risk of tissue overheating.
Effects – What Does the Patient Actually Notice?
Results develop gradually, along with collagen remodeling. The effect is natural and proportional to the skin's biology.
- Noticeable skin densification – hands become more "full" and less transparent
- Improvement in tension and elasticity – reduction of laxity
- Smoothing of fine wrinkles – more uniform skin surface
- Better texture and smoothness – skin regains elasticity to the touch
- Subtle rejuvenation of hand appearance – effect of freshness and healthy skin
- Slowing down of further aging processes – activation of natural repair mechanisms
This is a therapy for skin quality, not a temporary visual effect.
Treatment Frequency – Therapy Plan
Treatment strategy is determined individually based on the degree of laxity and photoaging.
- Series of 3 treatments
→ intervals of 4–6 weeks
→ optimal collagen remodeling
- Maintenance therapy
→ 1 treatment every 6–12 months
→ maintaining skin density and elasticity
In the case of pronounced aging symptoms, it is possible to extend the therapy with other technologies supporting volume restoration and pigmentation reduction.
