Profractional is a relatively quick and non-painful laser procedure with little downtime, used for improving the overall appearance of your skin. Profractional can dramatically improve wrinkles, scars and sundamaged skin. Profractional uses a laser micro-beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin, because only a fraction of the skin is directly treated with the laser, healing time is quick and downtime is short. What are the typical areas to treat, and what skin conditions can be treated? Most skin areas can be treated. Popular areas are the face, neck, chest and hands. The profractional can be used to improve a wide variety of skin conditions. It is most commonly used for, wrinkles, fine lines, post traumatic scars, acne scars, aging skin, sun-damaged skin, stretch marks and age/sun spots. How does the Profractional Laser work? The 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 stimulate production of new collagen, plumping up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles, lines and scars. What is a Profractional procedure like? Profractional is a fast and relatively comfortable procedure. The procedure will take approximately 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the treated area. A numbing cream can be applied in advance in order to reduce the discomfort during the procedure. What should I expect after the treatment? Immediately following the procedure you most likely will be red, and have a sunburn sensation. The following day you may experience some swelling, redness and skin sensitivity. Complete healing takes about 3-5 days but most patients can get back to work and apply make-up within 2-3 days of the procedure. What is the post treatment care? It is very important to follow our instructions which may include some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. Your skin will be very sensitive to ultra-violet light after the treatment, so you must avoid direct sun exposure for atleast four weeks., however you should always use sun protection to avoid sun damage and premature aging of your skin. How many treatments will I need? Profractional is generally done in a series of 3-5 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. We can also combine Profractional with BBL, SilkPeel or other popular cosmetic procedures to further enhance your treatment results.To learn more, schedule your complimentary consultation with Dr. Doucette.
