2940 Fractional Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing in San Antonio

The 2940 fractional ablative laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment designed to dramatically improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality. By precisely removing microscopic columns of damaged skin, this laser stimulates powerful collagen remodeling and cellular renewal for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

At Alon Aesthetics, we offer customized 2940 laser resurfacing treatments to address wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, pigmentation concerns, and other signs of aging with noticeable, long-lasting results.

Am I a Good Candidate for the 2940 Laser?

You may be a good candidate for 2940 laser resurfacing if you:

Have moderate to advanced signs of skin aging
Notice fine lines or deeper wrinkles
Have acne scars or textural irregularities
Struggle with sun damage or pigmentation concerns
Want significant skin rejuvenation and resurfacing
Are seeking more dramatic results than non-ablative laser treatments can provide
Are in overall good health

A consultation is the best way to determine whether the 2940 laser is appropriate for your skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

How Does the 2940 Ablative Fractional Laser Work?

The 2940 laser delivers controlled fractional energy into the skin, creating microscopic treatment zones that remove damaged surface tissue while stimulating the body's natural healing response.

As healing occurs:

New collagen is produced
Healthy skin cells replace damaged tissue
Skin texture becomes smoother
Wrinkles soften
Pigmentation irregularities improve
Overall skin quality is enhanced

Because the treatment is fractional, untreated areas surrounding the micro-injuries help support faster healing while still providing significant resurfacing benefits.

What Happens During a 2940 Ablative Fractional Laser Treatment?

During your appointment:

The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared
A topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort
Protective eyewear is provided
The laser is passed across the treatment area
Controlled fractional energy creates microscopic treatment zones within the skin
Damaged tissue is removed while collagen remodeling is stimulated

Treatment settings are customized based on your skin concerns, desired results, and downtime preferences.

Procedure Time: Approximately 60–90+ minutes

Numbing: Topical numbing cream is typically used

2940 Laser Recovery & Downtime

Downtime varies depending on treatment intensity and the area treated.

Patients can expect:

Redness and swelling immediately after treatment
Warmth and sensitivity similar to a sunburn
Oozing during the initial healing period
Peeling and crusting as damaged skin sheds
Progressive improvement as new skin develops

Initial healing typically occurs within 5–7 days.

Most patients:

Resume many normal activities within about one week
Can typically apply makeup after 7–10 days
Continue seeing improvement over several months as collagen remodeling occurs

Strict sun avoidance and diligent SPF use are essential during recovery to protect healing skin and optimize results.

2940 Laser Results

Many patients notice significant improvements once healing is complete, with continued enhancement over the following months.

Results may include:

Smoother skin texture
Improved skin tone and clarity
Softer fine lines and wrinkles
Reduced acne scars
Improved pigmentation and sun damage
Firmer, healthier-looking skin

Because collagen remodeling continues long after treatment, results often improve over time and can be long-lasting with proper skincare and sun protection.
