ProFractional FAQs
What is ProFractional laser treatment?
The ProFractional laser resurfaces your skin by applying a pinpoint laser to tiny fractions of your skin. Areas around that pinpoint remain untouched by the laser and activate your skin’s natural healing response. New collagen is produced to firm the skin, smooth fine lines, and diminish scars or other visible imperfections.
Who is ProFractional treatment for?
The ProFractional laser resurfaces your skin and treats scars from trauma or surgery, acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, stretch marks, and aging and sun-damaged skin.
What can I expect during the procedure?
Your provider will apply a topical anesthetic, or numbing cream, to the area being treated. The laser will be adjusted based on whether you have opted for one aggressive treatment or multiple less-aggressive treatments. During your treatment, your provider will position the ProFractional laser device on your skin and you will hear the laser clicking as it works. Depending on the size of the treatment area, your session may last from 15 to 30 minutes.
What can I expect after the procedure?
Your skin will look and feel as though you’ve had a sunburn. The day after your procedure, old skin will begin to fall away, and you may experience an itching sensation. After a couple days, you will notice skin beginning to heal. Your provider will suggest topical healing agents to keep your skin moist during the process.
How long before I see results?
In the days following your procedure, your skin will heal and you will experience some “tightening” of the skin. The ongoing effects of renewed collagen production will continue to improve the look and feel of your skin for the next 4 to 6 months.
Better Together: ProFractional + MicroLaserPeel
In one appointment, you can receive even more vibrant, lovely skin by pairing the benefits of a ProFractional laser with a MicroLaserPeel. First, the MicroLaserPeel removes a thin layer of the outermost skin, and then the ProFractional laser’s technology addresses deeper damage or unwanted pigmentation. The result is smoother skin you’ll receive endless compliments on.
