ProFractional
Laser

ProFractional laser treatment is generally recommended for individuals looking to improve deep wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. It is best suited for people in good overall health who are seeking significant skin rejuvenation without surgery and who are willing to commit to a short recovery period.

Because ProFractional is an ablative laser resurfacing treatment that reaches the deeper layers of the skin, it is typically recommended for patients with moderate to advanced signs of skin aging or textural concerns. A personalized consultation is essential to determine whether ProFractional is appropriate for your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals.

No. ProFractional uses a 2940 nm Erbium:YAG laser rather than CO2 laser technology. This fractional ablative laser precisely resurfaces the skin while typically offering faster healing than traditional fully ablative laser treatments.

Yes. ProFractional is a fractional ablative laser treatment that creates microscopic treatment channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote natural skin renewal.

Yes. ProFractional laser is commonly used to improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen remodeling and resurfacing damaged skin. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the severity of the scars.

Yes. ProFractional helps improve fine lines and wrinkles by encouraging collagen production and skin renewal, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Recovery time depends on the depth and intensity of the treatment. Most patients experience redness, swelling, and peeling for approximately 7 to 14 days, although deeper treatments may require a slightly longer recovery period. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions to support optimal healing, minimize the risk of complications, and help you achieve the best possible results.

ProFractional may improve skin texture and signs of sun damage, but vascular laser treatments are generally more appropriate for treating the redness and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea.

Yes. The treatment depth and intensity can be customized based on your skin type, concerns, recovery preferences, and desired results.

Your provider will advise you when it is safe to resume active skincare ingredients such as retinol, exfoliating acids, and vitamin C. Recommendations vary depending on your treatment depth and healing progress.

Yes. Depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals, ProFractional can be combined with complementary treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or Exosome Therapy to support healing, enhance skin regeneration, and optimize your results. Your provider may also recommend incorporating other aesthetic treatments as part of a personalized treatment plan for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Proper preparation helps promote optimal healing and treatment results. You should avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least four weeks before your appointment. Discontinue retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, and other potentially irritating skincare products 5 to 7 days before treatment, unless otherwise directed by your provider.

Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, and prepare your recovery space at home with gentle skincare products, a healing ointment, and a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Staying well hydrated before and after treatment can also help support the healing process. Your provider will give you personalized pre-treatment instructions based on your skin and treatment plan.

Post-care is crucial during this time. You will be advised to cleanse gently, avoid makeup for the first several days, and apply healing ointments to protect the skin barrier. Avoid exercise, hot showers, saunas, and direct sun exposure until the skin has completely healed. A high-quality, mineral-based sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher must be used daily and reapplied every two hours when outdoors.
