Profractional Laser Treatment
Sciton’s ProFractional laser treatment is a unique resurfacing technique that focuses on improving the overall quality of the skin. Through targeted treatments that drastically reduce healing time, ProFractional can effectively target textural issues, wrinkles, acne scars, and other imperfections. A highly trained provider of ProFractional can help customize the treatment to address their patients’ unique concerns.
ProFractional delivers highly targeted laser energy into the skin and leaves a portion of tissue intact.
Unlike full-field resurfacing techniques that remove the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional creates narrow channels in the skin with a lot of regenerative tissue intact, yet ensuring the results of full-field resurfacing with minimum downtime.
Profractional laser treatments are a top choice among women and men seeking smoother, more youthful-looking skin. These types of treatments are perfect for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, or skin texture issues, such as pitted acne scars, and for refreshing the skin. The ProFractional laser works by permanently remodeling the skin’s foundation structure, meaning results are impressive and long-lasting.
Benefits
- Profractional laser therapy is beneficial for anyone seeking overall skin tone and texture enhancement.
- Very efficient in treating acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, post-traumatic scars, acne scars, age spots, sun spots, and freckles, along with aging and sun-damaged skin.
- It creates narrow channels in the skin, through which the energy is delivered into the deeper layers, leaving the superficial skin layers intact for a faster recovery; regardless of the depth of treatment, the post-treatment recovery time is less than 8 hours.
ProFractional Therapy is a quick and comfortable laser procedure with little downtime, used for improving the overall appearance of your skin. The procedure is performed in your physician’s office and can be custom tailored to your specific skin conditions and desired outcome.
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.
Based on an assessment of your skin condition and cosmetic goals, your physician may choose to use ProFractional whenever a combination of resurfacing with minimal downtime is desired.
Most skin areas can be treated. Popular treatment areas are the face and neck, though many people also treat the chest and hands. You should discuss your needs with your physician.
Excellent results can be obtained in just one treatment, though the number of treatments may vary from patient to patient. Your physician 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.
Your skin will be cleaned in the treatment area and your eyes will be protected with safety shields. A laser handpiece will be positioned gently on the skin. When the laser energy is applied, you will hear a rapid succession of snapping sounds. The handpiece will be moved around to adjacent locations until the entire treatment area has been covered. The procedure normally takes 15 to 30 minutes.
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.
Immediately following the procedure you may experience mild redness and a sensation resembling sunburn. Your physician will advise you on specific after-treatment care recommendations, which may include analgesics and application of an ointment to keep the skin moist.

You may be given skin care products and instructions on how to use them. Your skin will be sensitive to ultra-violet light after the procedure, so you must avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. It is recommended that you always use some level of solar protection to avoid sun damage and premature aging of your skin.
As your skin heals in the days following your treatment, you may notice a general tightening effect. However, the true benefit of ProFractional is the collagen remodeling that occurs during the 4 to 6 months following your treatment.
