In the field of medicine, the term "fractional" is often used to describe treatments that target a fraction of a tissue or organ. This is often done to minimize damage to healthy tissue and maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing[edit | edit source]

Fractional laser resurfacing is a type of skin treatment that uses a laser to remove layers of skin. The laser is used in a fractional manner, meaning that only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time. This allows for faster healing and less downtime for the patient.
