Quick recovery time and noticeable results often visible within a week, making it a popular choice for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

ProFractional Laser Treatment uses laser technology to create thousands of microscopic channels in the targeted areas of the skin, such as the face, neck, and chest. These tiny channels activate the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal. As the skin heals, the new collagen helps smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, improving skin texture and tone. The treatment is designed to address a fraction of the skin at a time, allowing for quicker recovery and less downtime compared to more invasive procedures.

Individuals looking to address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and uneven skin tone are ideal candidates.

Downtime varies but is generally minimal, allowing you to return to regular activities within a few days.

Results are often visible within a week of the procedure.

The results can last several months, with maintenance treatments recommended for sustained benefits.

Patient response can vary after a ProFractional treatment. Erythema (redness) and possibly edema (swelling) and pinpoint oozing are the desired responses within a few minutes after the completion of the procedure. The degree of redness, oozing and healing time will increase with the depth and percentage of your treatment.

• Redness normally persists for 24 hours to 3 days depending upon the depth of the treatment.
• Oozing may persist for 24 hours after the treatment.
• Swelling is typically a short-term response. Use of a cold compress or ice packs will help to relieve the swelling. To avoid further swelling, you may choose to sleep in an upright position the first night after the treatment.
• If an antiviral was prescribed for you, continue to take as directed.
• Post treatment discomfort may be relieved by oral pain medications, ie. Extra Strength Tylenol. This is typically only needed within the first 12 hours after the treatment.
• Cleanse the skin two times a day with cool water and a gentle cleanser; i.e. Cetaphil, beginning the morning after the treatment. Use your hands to gently apply the cleanser and water and finish by patting dry with a soft cloth. Be careful not to rub the treated area.
• After cleansing your face, reapply the occlusive barrier, i.e. Aquaphor, taking care to cover all treated areas. The occlusive barrier is needed to provide a protective barrier that will hold moisture into the skin and provide protection to the skin from pollutants in the air as the skin heals. Typically, the occlusive barrier is only needed for 2 – 3 days. Reapply the occlusive barrier as needed. Do not allow the treated area to dry out.
• Peeling and flaking generally occur within 24 hours post treatment and should be allowed to come off naturally. DO NOT PICK, RUB, OR FORCE OFF ANY SKIN DURING THE HEALING PROCESS, THIS COULD RESULT IN SCARRING AND INFECTION!
• Avoid direct sunlight for up to 2 weeks post treatment and longer for darker skin tones.
• Once the skin has healed (no longer wearing the occlusive barrier) you may begin to wear makeup. Sunblock should be worn on a daily basis to help prevent any hyperpigmentation that could be caused by direct and indirect sunlight or heat exposure.
• When showering, be sure to wash your hair behind you to avoid getting shampoo directly on the treated area.
• Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating until after the skin has healed.
• ProFractional treatments are usually performed in a series. Your next treatment will typically be within 6-8 weeks.
