Profractional Laser Services
ProFractional laser is a quick and comfortable laser procedure with little downtime, used for improving the overall appearance of your skin. Profractional Therapy treats a fraction of the skin, stimulating new collagen growth and improving your skin's tone, texture, the fine lines, deeper wrinkles, and the appearance of scars.
Profractional laser services are performed in our office and can be custom tailored to your specific skin conditions and desired outcome. Treatment is quick, comfortable, and requires little to moderate downtime.
HOW DOES PROFRACTIONAL LASER WORK?
ProFractional uses a tiny laser beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin. Because only a fraction of your skin is directly treated with the laser, the surrounding untreated tissue promotes rapid healing. The skin’s wound healing response creates new collagen which adds firmness and resilience to the skin.
WHAT IS THE PRIMARY APPLICATION OF PROFRACTIONAL LASER?
Based on an assessment of your skin condition and cosmetic goals, your physician may choose to use ProFractional whenever a combination of resurfacing with minimal downtime is desired.
PROFRACTIONAL LASER THERAPY TREATS:
Mild wrinkles
Deeper Wrinkles
Skin Texture
Surgical Scars
Acne Scars
Sun Damaged Skin
WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?
As your skin heals in the days following your treatment, you may notice a general tightening effect. However, the true benefit of ProFractional is the collagen remodeling that occurs during the 4 to 6 months following your treatment.
NanoLaserPeel
The NanoLaserPeel uses light energy to instantly remove the top layers of the skin at a depth that also accelerates the skin's own renewal process by activating special messenger cells. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels often don't get deep enough and other lasers leave a layer of heat-damaged cells that interrupt the ability of these messenger cells to communicate with deeper layers of skin. Only the NanoLaserPeel from Sciton has the precision to work at just the right depth, creating beautifully smooth, luminous skin.
​
WHAT IS NLP?
NanoLaserPeel removes a thin layer of damaged skin to improve texture and provide a more youthful appearance. It provides superior results because it can be administered with great precision of depth. The procedure is performed in our office and can be custom tailored to your specific skin conditions and desired outcome.
​
HOW DOES NLP WORK?
The NanoLaserPeel beam is scanned over a treatment area to remove a very thin layer of the skin. Removing the top layer eliminates some of the damaged cells that can give skin a tired, aged look. Plus it activates messenger cells to trigger the body’s natural healing process. As the skin heals, fresh cells grow and resurface the treated area. The result is healthier- looking skin, often with reduced wrinkles and improved color evenness. Take your skin from "Tired to Vibrant''.
​
RECOMMENDED FOR:
Mild Wrinkles, Scars, Keratosis, Sun Damage/Freckles, Pigment Irregularities
​
DOWNTIME:
Very Minimal
MicroLaserPeel
The MicroLaserPeel removes a thin layer of damaged skin to improve texture and provide a more youthful appearance. Removing the top layer eliminates some of the damaged cells that can give skin a tired, aged look. As the skin heals, fresh cells grow and resurface the treated area. The result is healthier-looking skin, often with reduced wrinkles and improved color evenness. Patients often say that it looks like their skin went from looking tired to vibrant. Most patients notice an obvious improvement in tone, texture and color evenness in approximately 3-4 days.
​
WHAT DOES THE MICROLASERPEEL TREAT?
Mild wrinkles
Skin Texture
Scars
Keratosis
Sun damage (e.g., freckles)
Pigment irregularities
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Excellent results can be obtained in just one treatment, however the number of treatments needed may vary from patient to patient. Your physician can personalize a plan based on your specific needs and may chose to combine MicroLaserPeel with other aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.
DOWNTIME:
Depending on the depth of treatment, most patients feel comfortable enough to return to work within 3 to 4 days – an attribute that has given rise to the nickname "the weekend peel."
Deep Resurfacing with CONTOUR TRL
Deep resurfacing with Contour TRL safely removes fine lines and deep wrinkles, including those pesky lines around the lips and eyes. Performed in our office, Contour TRL treatments are custom tailored for you by our physician to achieve your desired outcome and expectations for downtime. Treating skin with a laser stimulates the growth of new collagen, which improves the skin’s thickness and resilience. The skin surface will also re-grow with fresh, healthy cells, which will give your skin a younger rejuvenated appearance.
​
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED WITH CONTOUR TRL?
Deep Wrinkles (even in difficult to treat areas like around the mouth and eyes), Scars, Solar Spots, Actinic Keratoses, Poor Skin Tone/Texture
​
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Because Contour TRL is capable of deep laser peels, excellent results are typically achieved after one treatment.
​
WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?
The top layer of your skin will re-grow and can be covered with makeup in about one week, at which time you will see noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture, tone and wrinkle appearance. Deeper laser treatments also stimulate the growth of new collagen over the next 4 to 6 months. During this time, the skin may show increasing improvements in tightness and resilience.
​
RECOMMENDED FOR:
Deep wrinkles, scars, pigmentation
​
DOWNTIME:
This varies depending on the depth of the treatment. For deeper treatments, you should discuss realistic expectations for recovery with your physician.
