Who should consider a ProFractional treatment?

improve scares, wrinkles, or sun damage in a
comfortable treatment with a fast recovery,
then you may be an ideal candidate for ProFractional.
Ask your physician if ProFractional is right
for you.
How does the ProFractional laser work?
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 area
stimulate production of new collagen, plumping
up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles, lines,
scars and other irregularities.
What areas can be treated?
Most skin areas can be treated. Popular
areas are the face, neck, chest, and hands.
You should discuss your needs with your physician.
How many treatments will I need?
ProFractional is typically done in a series
of 1-4 treatments, spaced 3-6 weeks apart, depending
on your needs. . Results are immediate and progressive.
Optimal improvement is usually visible in about
2 to 3 months. This time frame and treatment
structure allows for complete healing and replacement
of damaged tissue with new collagen and elastin,
and viable healthy skin cell growth.
Is the ProFractional Laser Treatment
painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as having
a "prickling" sensation. A topical
anesthetic is available if desired.
What precautions should I take after
treatment?
We recommend using an antimicrobial ointment
during the healing process. You must apply sunscreen
of SPF 30 or higher (UVA/UVB) after every two
hours of sun exposure. Avoid direct sun exposure
during the healing process and for at least
3 months after treatment. |
