ProFractional is a laser skin resurfacing treatment that
improves the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, and acne scars.
The laser creates pinpoint channels in the surface of your skin that trigger a
natural rejuvenation process that firms and tones your skin.
How ProFractional resurfacing is performed
ProFractional resurfacing is an outpatient procedure that
takes around 30 minutes. Your skin specialist will apply topical or local
anesthetic to numb the treatment area and place protective goggles over your
eyes. The laser hand piece is then passed over your skin and you may feel a
snapping sensation. The laser makes pinpoint channels in your skin surrounded
by untreated areas to promote faster healing.
Recovery and Results
Most people can return to work after one to two days. You’ll
notice a fast improvement in your skin, and the results will continue to
improve as your skin produces new collagen. ProFractional resurfacing rarely has
complications, though you may have some skin redness like a sunburn for a few
days, and the laser pattern may be noticeable for one to two weeks as you heal. Read More
