The ProFractional™ laser is an advanced erbium laser skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce visible signs of aging, and stimulate long-term collagen production. By creating thousands of precise microchannels in the skin, the ProFractional laser triggers your body’s natural healing response while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue intact. This approach promotes faster recovery, smoother skin, and a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion.
Treatment depth is fully customizable, allowing us to tailor your laser resurfacing treatment to your unique skin concerns and aesthetic goals. Whether you’re looking to soften wrinkles, improve acne scars, or restore a brighter complexion, ProFractional laser treatments deliver noticeable, long-lasting results.
Profractional Laser™ FAQs
Who is a good candidate for ProFractional laser treatment?
ProFractional laser resurfacing is an excellent option for patients who want to improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Uneven skin texture
- Sun damage
- Age spots and pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Dull or aging skin
This treatment is ideal for rejuvenating the face, neck, and chest. Because it penetrates deeper than many laser treatments, ProFractional is often recommended for patients seeking more dramatic skin resurfacing results than lighter treatments, such as Halo® laser resurfacing.
What should I expect during a ProFractional laser treatment?
A typical ProFractional laser session takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Before your procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to maximize comfort. Most patients describe the treatment as feeling like mild warmth or a tingling sensation.
Immediately after treatment, your skin will feel similar to a mild sunburn. Redness, swelling, and a rough texture are expected as your skin heals and are a normal part of the recovery process. Most visible healing occurs within 5 to 7 days, although recovery time varies depending on the depth of treatment.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice smoother, brighter skin within the first few weeks after treatment. As new collagen continues to develop, improvements in skin firmness, texture, and overall appearance become even more noticeable over the following 3 to 6 months.
While some patients achieve excellent results after a single treatment, a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal improvement, particularly for deeper acne scars or advanced signs of aging.
Can ProFractional laser be combined with other treatments?
Yes. ProFractional laser resurfacing can be safely combined with complementary treatments such as a MicroLaserPeel®, Moxi® laser or BBL® (BroadBand Light) to enhance skin rejuvenation and achieve more comprehensive results. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best treatment plan based on your skin concerns and desired outcome.
