ProFractional Laser is an ablative fractional laser therapy that resurfaces parts of the skin. Through this, it treats several skin problems. Some of the issues solved by ProFractional Laser treatment include:
ProFractional Laser treatment works by focusing on targeted areas of the skin that need rejuvenation and treatment. The device distributes laser energy in a grid-like pattern and creates micro-channels in the skin at different depths. The depth of the laser depends on the treatment required. The most shallow are for pigmentations and the deepest channels are to treat deep scars, acne scars, and deep wrinkles. As these channels are formed, they stimulate collagen formation. This rejuvenates the skin, removes scars, and treats wrinkles. ProFractional Laser works by fractioned thermolysis. It works by a chromophore—water, hemoglobin, and melanin—absorbing the laser energy and turning it to heat. This heat is used to burn off damaged tissue as the water vaporizes. Unlike other laser treatments, the ProFractional Laser is specific and spares the surrounding tissue from injury. This reduces recovery time and ensures the best results.
ProFractional Laser treatment treats scars of all types, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, and aging skin. Results last 3 to 5 years and may last longer depending on the person.

ProFractional laser skin treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses a fractional laser to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production. It improves skin texture, reduces scars, wrinkles, sun damage, and other signs of aging by targeting specific areas of the skin.
On average, a patient should see significant results from the procedure after one session. A series of two to three treatments spaced 3-6 weeks apart can improve and speed up results. The longevity of the result depends on factors like skin condition, age, lifestyle, etc.
On average, the recovery time for ProFractional laser treatment is 5 days. The treatment is customizable depending on the patient’s needs with varying depths of laser beam penetration, this leads to the difference in recovery time as a light procedure would require 1-2 days of downtime compared to a more aggressive procedure which may require 3-7 days of downtime.
ProFractional laser treatment is a relatively safe procedure with minimal side effects like redness, irregular pigmentation, and excessive skin peeling. These side effects are normal and should subside within a few days. You can ease discomfort by applying compression, keeping skin moisturized, and limiting sun exposure as much as possible.
Irregular pigmentation is a side effect of ProFractional laser treatment so yes, skin can become darker from the procedure, this is called hyperpigmentation, where the treated area may become darker in tone but this is temporary and fades after a couple of days.
After ProFractional laser treatment, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, avoid sun exposure, use sunscreen, keep the skin moisturized, and avoid picking at flaky skin. Avoid strenuous activities and follow any instructions regarding makeup and moisturizers provided by your clinician.
ProFractional laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate collagen production during the healing process. This new collagen helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines over time.
