Endymed FSR – Fractional Skin Resurfacing

Treatment Overview

Endymed FSR (Fractional Skin Resurfacing) is a state-of-the-art treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to resurface and renew the skin — with minimal risk, minimal discomfort, and minimal downtime. It’s a powerful alternative to laser treatments, targeting surface imperfections like crepey skin, fine lines, pigmentation, and acne scarring.

By removing micro-columns of damaged skin and stimulating the body’s healing response, FSR achieves smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin — safely and effectively.

    Targets delicate areas like the eyes (Endybleph)
  • 6
    No ablative lasers or extended downtime

How the Treatment Works

FSR uses fractional radiofrequency energy delivered in a grid-like pattern across the skin’s surface. This technique:

  • Removes small fractions of the outermost skin (epidermis)
  • Leaves untreated skin between each zone, allowing for faster healing
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration in the underlying dermis
  • Improves skin tone, texture, and resilience from the surface down

This differs from Endymed Intensif which targets deeper skin layers. FSR focuses on surface-level issues — ideal for concerns like acne scars, pigmentation, and crepey texture.

What Happens During the Treatment

  • Skin is cleansed and prepped, and topical numbing cream is applied to enhance comfort.
  • The FSR handpiece delivers fractional RF energy through a treatment tip across the chosen area.
  • Patients feel a warm, prickling sensation, but most find the treatment very tolerable.
For sensitive areas like the eye region, special protocols are used in a procedure known as Endybleph – a non-surgical rejuvenation technique for fine lines, crepey skin, and under-eye ageing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between FSR and Endymed Intensif?

While both use radiofrequency (RF), FSR focuses on the skin’s surface — ideal for texture, pigmentation, and scars. Intensif targets deeper layers to treat laxity and internal collagen structure. They’re often combined for full-spectrum results.

Is FSR safe for delicate areas like under the eyes?

Yes. A special version of the treatment called Endybleph is designed specifically for the periorbital (eye) area. It tightens crepey skin and softens fine lines without surgery.

What does the treatment feel like?

You may feel a warm, prickly sensation, but the application of numbing cream beforehand makes the treatment comfortable for most people.

How long is the downtime?

Most clients experience mild redness and dryness for 24–48 hours. Unlike laser resurfacing, there’s minimal risk of complications or prolonged downtime.

When will I see results?

You’ll notice smoother skin within 1–2 weeks, with continued improvement in tone, texture, and scarring over the next 2–3 months as new collagen develops.

Recovery & Results Timeline

Immediately After Treatment

  • Skin will appear red and slightly warm, with a mild sensation of tightness.
  • Microdots or a fine grid pattern may be visible temporarily on the skin.

1–2 Days

  • Redness and visible marks fade.
  • Skin may feel dry or lightly exfoliated as healing begins.

2–6 Weeks

  • Improved smoothness, tone, and clarity become visible.
  • Pigmentation, scars, and fine lines begin to fade.

Recommended Course

  • A series of 3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, ensures that all skin is treated evenly.
  • Maintenance sessions once or twice a year can prolong and enhance results.
