Fractional lasers are not carcinogenic
So far, ultraviolet light and ionized radiation are the energies known to be responsible for skin carcinogenesis. Currently, there is no link between fractional lasers and carcinogenicity. These are safe devices that use infrared light energy to treat various skin conditions. So fractional lasers can actually improve the quality of the skin, thus theoretically minimizing the chances of skin cancer development in photodamaged skin.

Laser and Cancer
There is no evidence to suggest that any lasers promote skin cancer. Laser light is "non-ionizing". Ionizing Radiation is the type of radiation that promotes skin cancer.
