A customizable fractional resurfacing treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin from within — for smoother, firmer, brighter skin on your schedule.
Is Mosaic 3D Right for You?
Your skin looks tired or aged beyond how you feel. You want more than a surface-level refresh — but you’re not ready for aggressive downtime.
You may be noticing:
- Skin texture that has become uneven or rough
- Fine lines that are becoming more visible
- A dull or blotchy skin tone
- Mild to moderate laxity
- Early signs of aging
- An overall loss of skin vitality
If you’re ready for meaningful rejuvenation — and still need to show up to work, events, and life — Mosaic 3D may be your ideal balance of correction and convenience.
Fractional Resurfacing — Collagen Remodeling Strategically Delivered
Mosaic 3D is a customizable fractional laser resurfacing treatment that renews the skin from within. Rather than treating the entire surface at once, fractional technology delivers precise columns of energy into the skin — creating controlled micro-zones of treatment surrounded by healthy, untreated tissue that accelerates healing.
This approach stimulates collagen and elastin production in the mid-dermis — the structural layer responsible for firmness and elasticity — helping the skin appear tighter, brighter, and more refined over time.
This is not surface-level exfoliation. This is collagen remodeling — strategically delivered.

During Treatment
Your treatment is fully customized based on your skin type, concerns, and schedule. Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort. During the session, most patients describe a sensation of warmth and moderate heat as the laser energy is delivered. Treatment typically takes 45 minutes or less.
After Treatment
Following your session, you can expect:
- Redness lasting several days
- Mild swelling in the treated area
- A sandpaper-like texture as the skin undergoes renewal and resurfaces
These are normal and expected signs that the treatment is working. As the skin heals over the days that follow, you will notice improved brightness, smoother texture, and a more youthful overall appearance emerging.
Plan for several days of social downtime following your Mosaic 3D treatment.
Results
Mosaic 3D delivers progressive results that continue to develop as collagen remodeling advances. Initial improvement in texture and tone becomes visible as the skin heals. Continued collagen and elastin production enhances firmness and radiance over the following weeks and months.
Because results build gradually, many patients find their skin looks and feels better at three months post-treatment than at three weeks.

How Mosaic 3D Compares
Mosaic 3D sits between lighter, no-downtime treatments like ULTRA and more intensive resurfacing options like eCO2. It is ideal for patients who want meaningful correction — improved texture, tone, and firmness — but are not yet ready for the more significant downtime associated with deeper resurfacing.
Your provider will help determine where Mosaic 3D fits within your personalized treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Mosaic 3D work?
Mosaic 3D uses fractional laser technology to deliver precise energy into the mid-dermis — the structural layer of the skin responsible for firmness and elasticity. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, it helps the skin look tighter, brighter, and more youthful over time.
What are the benefits of fractional resurfacing vs. full resurfacing?
Fractional technology treats a portion of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact to support faster healing. This means more meaningful results than surface-only treatments — with more manageable downtime compared to full-field resurfacing like eCO2.
How long does the treatment take?
Most Mosaic 3D treatments are completed in 45 minutes or less. Your provider will give you a more precise estimate based on the areas being treated during your consultation.
What should I expect during recovery?
Expect redness, mild swelling, and a sandpaper-like skin texture for several days following treatment. These are all normal and expected parts of the healing process. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to support optimal healing and results.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns, treatment intensity, and goals. Your provider will outline a recommended treatment plan during your consultation, guided by your VISIA® analysis and desired outcomes.
Can Mosaic 3D be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Mosaic 3D can be strategically combined with other treatments — such as neurotoxins, fillers, or medical-grade skincare — to enhance and extend results. Your provider will recommend the most effective combination approach based on your individual goals.
Start With a Consultation
Mosaic 3D delivers its best results when it’s part of a thoughtfully designed treatment plan. During your cosmetic consultation, your provider will perform a comprehensive VISIA Facial Analysis to assess your skin’s texture, tone, collagen quality, and sun damage — and determine whether Mosaic 3D, alone or in combination with other treatments, is the right path forward for your skin and goals.
