ProFractional Laser

Renew. Reveal. Radiate. Refine.

ProFractional is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses an ablative laser to improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin texture by stimulating natural collagen production.

ProFractional Laser

ProFractional by Sciton is an advanced fractional laser designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearancewith minimal downtime. Using a precise, fractionated approach, this treatment creates microchannels in the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling while leaving surrounding tissue intact, allowing for faster healing and dramatic skin rejuvenation.

Ideal for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, scars, sun damage, as well as acne scars and uneven skin tone, ProFractional offers customizable depth and intensity, making it a versatile solution for various skin concerns. Unlike fully ablative lasers, this technology maximizes results while minimizing recovery time, giving patients smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skinwith less disruption to daily life.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

Avoid Sun Exposure

  • Avoid direct sun exposure for 2-4 weeks before your treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin may increase the risk of complications and affect the efficacy of your treatment.
  • Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 and reapply frequently, especially if you are outdoors.

No Tanning or Self-Tanners

  • Avoid tanning beds and self-tanning products for 2-4 weeks prior to your treatment. These can increase your skin’s sensitivity and interfere with the laser’s effectiveness.

Stop Certain Skincare Products

  • Discontinue the use of retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) 3-5 days prior to your treatment. These ingredients can increase skin sensitivity and may cause irritation when exposed to the laser.

Shave the Treatment Area

  • If the treatment area is on your face, shave the area to ensure optimal treatment. Avoid shaving on the day of the procedure if possible.

Hydration

  • Drink plenty of water before your procedure to ensure your skin is well hydrated.

Arrive Without Makeup

  • Come to your appointment with clean, makeup free skin to avoid any contamination during the procedure.

Avoid Blood-Thinning Supplements

  • Avoid supplements such as fish oil, garlic, Vitamin E, and Ginkgo Biloba for 1 week before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

Avoid Alcohol

  • Refrain from alcohol for 2 days before and 2 days after your treatment to minimize bruising and aid in healing

No Make-up on the Day of the Procedure

  • Arrive at your appointment with a clean face — free from makeup, moisturizers, or sunscreen

Post-Treatment Planning

  • Schedule your procedure at least 2-4 weeks before any significant events to allow sufficient time for healing
