ProFractional™ Laser in San Antonio
reveal smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin
What is a ProFractional™ Laser Treatment?
ProFractional™ Laser treatment is a medical procedure that uses a fractional laser system to treat various skin concerns and improve skin texture and tone. It’s designed to target specific areas of the skin while leaving surrounding areas untouched, which promotes faster healing. This treatment is often used for issues like wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. The laser creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and promoting the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Five reasons our aestheticians love the ProFractional™ Laser Treatment
ProFractional™ stimulates collagen and elastin production while promoting the shedding of damaged skin cells, improving skin texture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles for a youthful appearance.
The treatment minimizes acne scars, sunspots, and pigmentation irregularities, leaving skin clearer and more even-toned.
Tailored to individual concerns, ProFractional™ effectively addresses issues on the face, neck, chest, and hands, accommodating a variety of skin types and conditions.
Recovery is quick, with most redness subsiding in a few days, while collagen remodeling continues to enhance results over time for enduring improvements.
ProFractional™ minimizes enlarged pores and offers a safe, low-discomfort treatment option performed by skilled providers, ensuring precision and efficacy.
How does the ProFractional™ Laser Treatment Work?
ProFractional™ Laser Treatment is a precise and effective skin rejuvenation procedure that works through a process called fractional laser therapy. Here’s how it works:
Fractional Laser Technology: ProFractional™ uses a specialized laser device that emits narrow, focused laser beams. Unlike traditional laser treatments that target the entire skin surface, ProFractional™ divides the laser energy into thousands of micro-columns or “fractions.”
Micro-Injuries: The laser beams create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s deeper layers, known as the dermis. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
Collagen and Elastin Production: As the skin heals, it starts producing new collagen and elastin fibers. These are essential proteins that provide structural support and elasticity to the skin. Increased collagen and elastin production result in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Selective Treatment: ProFractional™ is highly customizable, allowing healthcare providers to adjust the laser’s depth and intensity according to the patient’s specific needs and concerns. This selective treatment approach minimizes damage to surrounding skin, promoting faster healing and reducing downtime.
Skin Resurfacing: While the laser creates micro-injuries, it also promotes the shedding of damaged and aged skin cells on the surface. This process helps improve skin texture, tone, and pigmentation irregularities.
Downtime and Recovery: Depending on the treatment’s depth and intensity, patients may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort after the procedure. However, recovery time is relatively short, and patients can usually return to their normal activities within a few days to a week.
Progressive Improvement: While some results may be visible shortly after the treatment, the full benefits of ProFractional™ Laser Treatment become increasingly noticeable over time as collagen continues to rebuild and improve the skin’s condition.
The science behind ProFractional™
ProFractional™ Laser is a skin rejuvenation treatment based on fractional photothermolysis.
It works by creating controlled microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal. Unlike traditional lasers, it targets specific areas while leaving surrounding skin untouched, reducing downtime and allowing for a faster recovery.
The treatment is highly customizable and effective for various skin concerns, making it a popular choice for improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
