How does the technology work?
ProFractional is unique in that it ablates narrow channels into the skin, rather than removing the entire surface of the treatment area. The ablation process stimulates the body’s natural healing response – producing fresh collagen to plump the skin, smooth out imperfections and improve your complexion from the inside out.
Because the treated channels are surrounded by intact tissue, the procedure is associated with a rapid recovery period when compared to alternative lasers. In addition, the technology is highly customizable, allowing for results that are either subtle or dramatic, depending on your needs.
What to expect during the procedure
Your ProFractional treatment will be done in the comfort of our Scottsdale medical spa. The procedure will take about 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area. To begin, we will cleanse your skin and provide you with safety goggles to protect your eyes. From there, we will administer a numbing cream or local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the experience.
Once the procedure is complete, you will be free to return home to complete the healing process. Most of our clients need to take at least three days off from work. During this time, you will look and feel like you have a bad sunburn and you will experience pinpoint bleeding in the area for approximately two days. These side effects will begin to diminish a couple of days after your appointment and within one week your skin should be back to normal.
