There is no heavy or time-intensive post-care—patients can enjoy normal social activities within a few days of treatment. Our Medical Providers will use a topical anesthetic to ensure ProFractional is comfortable for patients. Patients typically see noticeable improvement within weeks, with continued improvement for up to six months.

ProFractional users have the ability to adjust the depth of ablation and coagulation independently. You should feel minimal to no discomfort as your provider delivers a ProFractional treatment to your skin.
Unlike full field resurfacing which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional ablates narrow-diameter channels into the skin, covering a fraction of the total treatment area. This action initiates the body's wound healing response while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing.
The provider selects ablation depth, coagulation, density, and scan pattern options to custom-tune the treatment. A laser guide beam indicates the target area over the treatment area for ultimate precision.
After the healing process is complete, expect your skin to appear tighter and smoother, with a greater reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and other skin imperfections.
Most patients see the best results after an initial series of 2 to 4 treatments, with additional semi- annual or annual visits. This routine will also vary depending on any other aesthetic treatments you may get and your overall skin goals and lifestyle.
ProFractional is specially designed to mitigate both pain and downtime compared to other laser resurfacing or exfoliation techniques. With a topical anesthetic (and a nerve blocker, if warranted), patients typically experience minor discomfort.
After a single treatment, you should notice a continual improvement for up to 6 months. Your results can last for years with continued maintenance and a healthy lifestyle. That said, the skin will continue to age naturally. Typically, patients return to their ProFractional provider every 12- 18 months after their initial series to maintain their results.
