Anti-aging Treatment with Sciton ProFractional™
What Is ProFractional™?
ProFractional™ is a quick and comfortable laser procedure with little to no downtime, which is used to improve the overall appearance of your skin. ProFractional™ uses a laser microbeam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin. And because only a fraction of the skin is directly treated by laser, the healing time is quick and downtime is short.
Which Conditions Can Be Treated With ProFractional™?
ProFractional™ can be used to improve a wide variety of skin conditions, but is used most for:
- wrinkles and fine lines
- post-traumatic scars
- acne scars
- age spots
- sun spots
- freckles
- aging and sun-damaged skin
How Does ProFractional™ Work?
ProFractional™ uses laser energy to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin which a re surrounded by areas of healthy, untreated skin. The zones of untreated skin invigorate the body's natural healing process, and the treated areas stimulate production of new collagen, plumping up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles, lines, scars and other irregularities.
Who Should Consider A ProFractional™ Treatment
If you are looking for younger-looking skin or want to improve scars, wrinkles, or sun damage with a comfortable treatment and have fast recovery, then you may be an ideal candidate for ProFractional™. Ask your Aesthetic Specialist if ProFractional™ is right for you.
Which 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 Aesthetic Specialist.
What Is A ProFractional™ Procedure Like?
ProFractional™ is a fast, comfortable procedure lasting from as little as 15 minutes and upto an hour depending on the condition and the size of the area that is treated. A numbing cream such as Emla may be applied in advance to aid with comfort during the procedure.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
ProFractional™ is typically done in a series of one to four treatments, spaced three to six weeks apart, depending on your needs. Your aesthetic specialist may also combine ProFractional™ with a micro laser peal or other popular aesthetic procedures to further enhance your treatment results.
What Should I Expect After Treatment?
Immediately after the procedure you may experience a mild redness, resembling light sunburn. Complete healing takes about one to three days and most patients can get back to work and apply make-up within one to two days after the treatment.
Will I Need Special Aftercare?
It is important to follow your Aesthetic Specialist's instructions, which may include some skincare products and instructions on how to use them. Your skin will be more sensitive to ultraviolet light after the procedure and you must therefore avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. You should always use some level of sun protection to avoid sun damage and premature aging of your skin.
