Reclaim Your Youthful Complexion with Profractional Laser Resurfacing

Is your skin making you look older than you feel? Over time, it’s common for skin to develop fine lines, wrinkles, discolorations, and general dullness, but you don’t have to accept these changes. At our medi-spa, we can help you get your bright, youthful complexion back with profractional laser resurfacing. Through profractional laser resurfacing, we can perform everything from a superficial peel to deep resurfacing, depending on your needs and desired treatment outcome. Here is what you need to know. 

Profractional Laser Basics

A profractional laser is a micro-ablative laser that can remove damaged, surface levels of skin and trigger collagen production. At Maloney Plastic Surgery, we use the Sciton profractional laser, which is the latest available technology. The Sciton is tunable, which means we can adjust the depth, heat level, and pattern of the laser, to tailor it to each client’s specific needs. Thanks to this adjustability, clients can get dramatic results with a recovery time that is much faster than other kinds of laser treatments. 

Good Candidates for Profractional Laser Resurfacing

Typically, profractional lasers are recommended for people with fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and age spots. This treatment will improve the appearance of these issues, but it will not get rid of them completely. During your consultation with our certified medical laser technicians, we will use VECTRA 3D imaging to show you what your results will look like after profractional lasering to help you decide if this is the right treatment for you. 

Profractional Laser Treatment and Recovery

When you have profractional laser skin resurfacing, the first hour of your appointment will be spent numbing the skin so you are comfortable during the treatment. The laser will then be used on the areas you wish to target at the desired treatment level. After the treatment, you will rest with cold compresses on your face for about twenty minutes. Your skin will be red and may peel for up to five days after treatment. Vinegar soaks and cold compresses will help combat itching and discomfort. You can start wearing makeup after seven days and will have a follow-up appointment about three weeks after treatment to ensure you have healed as expected.
