ProFractional Laser
ProFractional Laser™ is a true fractionated ablative laser. This more aggressive treatment allows the skin to regenerate at a deeper level. Due to the fractionated nature of this treatment it allows for quick healing and enhanced safety. The ProFractional Laser is a great option for people who want to treat texture and wrinkles on their skin. It is also an excellent treatment for those with rolling, ice pick, or pock mark scars from acne of the cheeks, temples, or jawline, as well as surgical and traumatic scars anywhere on the body. The ProFractional laser is safe for all skin colors and types.
What to Expect
Topical numbing is applied for 1 hour before the treatment. If needed, oral analgesics are also given at the time of topical numbing in the office to help with any discomfort as well. Most people describe a feeling of hot rapid pin pricks into the skin. When the treatment is complete, the skin will feel very warm, looking and feeling like a deep sunburn; there may even be pinpoint bleeding, which is normal. Over the next week the skin will heal and each day the redness will be less and less. Over the healing phase you will be very gentle with your skin only applying what is in the post procedure healing kit. While the skin looks fresher within a week, by the end of the first month, most people will notice the effect of new collagen production, it can take up to 3 months to appreciate all the affects of the treatment. ProFractional achieves a permanent remodeling of the skin, and should be repeated as needed to further results.
