What is a ProFractional Laser?

Published in Laser Skin Treatment 2 mins read

A ProFractional laser is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a laser to improve the appearance of skin by treating only a fraction of it within a targeted area.

How ProFractional Laser Works

ProFractional laser treatments work by creating tiny, narrow channels in the skin. Here's a breakdown:

  • Fractional Resurfacing: Unlike traditional laser treatments that remove entire layers of skin, ProFractional lasers treat only a portion of the skin. This approach speeds up recovery time.
  • Micro-Ablated Channels: The laser energy is delivered in a grid-like pattern, creating tiny channels. These channels extend to a precise depth, controlled by the practitioner.
  • Stimulating Healing: These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin. This results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
