A: ProFractional uses laser energy to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, which are surrounded by areas of healthy, untreated skin. The zones of untreated skin invigorate the body's natural healing process, and the treated areas stimulates production of new collagen, plumping up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles, lines and other irregularities
A:

If you are looking for younger looking skin, or to improve scars, wrinkles, or sun damage in a comfortable treatment with a fast recovery, then you may be an ideal candidate for ProFractional. Ask your physician if ProFractional is right for you.
A: Most skin areas can be treated. Popular areas are the face, neck, chest and hands. You should discuss your needs with your physician
A:

ProFractional is a fast, comfortable procedure done in your physician's office. The procedure normally takes 15-30 minutes depending on the condition and the size of the area treated. A numbing cream may be applied in advance to aid in comfort during the procedure.
A: ProFractional is typically done in a series of 1-4 treatments, spaced 3-6 weeks apart, depending on your needs. Your physician will personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Your physician may also combine ProFractional with a MicroLaserPeel or other popular aesthetic procedures to further enhance your treatment results
A: Immediately following the procedure you may experience a mild redness, resembling a light sunburn sensation. Complete healing takes only about 1-3 days and most patients can get back to work and apply makeup within 1-2 days after the treatmen
A:

It is important to follow your physician's instructions which may include some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. Your skin will be more sensitive to ultra-violet light after the procedure, so you must avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. You should always use some level of sun protection to avoid sun damage and premature aging of your skin.
