First there was Fraxel® Then came Profractional™

ProFractional™ Therapy is a  relatively quick  laser procedure with limited downtime, used for improving the overall appearance of your skin. The procedure is performed in our treatment room  and can be custom tailored to your specific skin conditions and desired outcome. Skin will be tighter, smoother and brighter.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does ProFractional™ work?

ProFractional™ uses a tiny laser beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas

of your skin. Because only a fraction of your skin is directly treated with

the laser, the surrounding untreated tissue promotes rapid healing.

This skin’s wound healing response creates new collagen which add firmness

and resilience to the skin.

What is the primary application of ProFractional™?

Based on an assessment of your skin condition and cosmetic goals, we may

choose to use ProFractional™ whenever a combination of resurfacing with

minimal downtime is desired.

What areas of the body can be treated?

Most skin areas can be treated. Popular treatment areas are the face and neck, though many people also treat the chest and hands.

How many treatments will I need?

Excellent results can be obtained in just one treatment, though the number of treatments may vary from patient to patient. We can personalize a plan based on your specific needs and may choose to combine ProFractional™ Therapy with other aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.

Will it be uncomfortable?

ProFractional™ therapy is widely regarded as a comfortable procedure, usually tolerated with the use of a topical numbing cream or a local anesthetic, depending on the depth of treatment.

How long will it take to recover?

Complete healing typically occurs within 2-5 days and most patients usually feel comfortable enough to get back to work and apply makeup a day or two after the treatment.  Downtime is directly related to the depth of the treatment. There will likely be some redness and swelling that will subside within a few days following the treatment. Home care products are provided with this treatment.

What can I do to protect my new skin?

Be sure to wear SPF 30-plus sunscreen and apply twice a day. You must completely avoid the sun and take extra care to protect your skin from future damage.
