Profractional Skin Revitalization
Experience powerful and quick skin polishing with ProFractional. Do you faithfully take care of your skin, wear sun protection, cleanse, hydrate, and exfoliate but still aren’t seeing results that scream “WOW”? Over time, sun exposure and aging may compromise your skin’s texture, color, and quality. Restore the appearance of a healthy, youthful complexion and remove the visible signs of damaged skin, including scars, with the safe, effective, and low-downtime treatment, ProFractional.
How ProFractional Works
Profractional creates channels in the skin with a narrower diameter to stimulate natural collagen remodeling, resulting in younger-looking skin and a refreshed appearance. ProFractional treats only a fraction of the skin and leaves the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes rapid healing. This is unlike full-field resurfacing techniques that remove the entire surface area of a treatment site. Depending on the depth of your treatment, recovery time is often quick.

What to Expect with ProFractional
Before treatment, the provider will place a topical anesthetic on the skin. You will more than likely feel minimal discomfort as your provider delivers a ProFractional treatment to your skin. After the treatment, most patients will continue to feel warm for an additional 30 to 60 minutes or slightly longer with deeper treatment levels.
There is no heavy or time-intensive post-care—patients can enjoy normal social activities within a few days of treatment. Patients typically see noticeable improvement within weeks, with continued improvement for up to six months.
