Profractional Laser retexturizes and remodels photoaged or sun damaged skin, revitalizes skin marked from acne scars in earlier decades, and rejuvenates skin that has lost its glow. It works by replacing old tissue with new and results are dramatic. The laser tightens skin, reduces acne scars, pores and wrinkles.  It dramatically improves pigmentation issues, leaving your skin significantly brighter after just one treatment.

ProFractional laser treatment is an advanced skin resurfacing technique that uses Sciton's fractionated erbium laser. This innovative technology treats a fraction of the skin at a time, creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting new collagen production and resulting in dramatic improvements in skin texture, fine lines, deep wrinkles, scars, and pigmented lesions.

Profractional Laser is meant for people who feel that their skin is aging prematurely or who are noticing more wrinkles in the mirror. It is also an excellent treatment for those with rolling, ice pick, or pock mark scars from acne of the cheeks, temples, or jawline. The Profractional laser is safe for all skin colors and tones.

With topical numbing, most clients tolerate the discomfort 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 and healthy.  Usually wishing the hour following the treatment most report minimal discomfort to none at all.

This depends on the depth of the treatment, which will be determined in your personalized plan during your consultation.  On a light level, 2-4 days before you are back in full make-up.  Generally, the recovery for a more aggressive full treatment is at most 4-5 days. Some people say their skin looks tighter and fresher within a week. By the end of the first month, most people will notice the effect of new collagen synthesis: smoothing of wrinkles, softer, more supple and brighter skin.   It can take up to 3 months to appreciate resolution of pitted acne scarring. Profractional achieves a permanent remodeling of the skin and should be repeated as needed to further results.

Besides the downtime associated with the depth of the treatment you and your doctor have done, you should finish any Accutane course at least 6 months prior to a treatment. You should schedule the treatment so that there is one month of no sun exposure for the following month (even with sunscreen). If you are prone to cold sores we prescribe you an anti-viral for the days before and after the treatment.
