What Is ProFractional Laser Treatment?

ProFractional is an erbium laser treatment that ablates narrow, precise channels into the skin rather than resurfacing the entire treatment area at once. By treating only a fraction of the skin during each session, surrounding tissue remains intact, allowing for faster healing while still triggering a robust collagen-building response. This fractional approach makes ProFractional highly effective for scar revision, deep wrinkles, uneven texture, and pigmented concerns like sun spots, while offering more tunability than many other resurfacing lasers. Your provider can adjust the depth of treatment, from more superficial refinement to deeper correction, based on your specific skin and goals.

Benefits of ProFractional Laser Treatment

ProFractional offers a highly tunable approach to resurfacing, addressing a wide range of skin concerns with less downtime than fully ablative lasers.

Are You a Candidate for ProFractional Laser Treatment?

Good candidates for ProFractional laser treatment are patients dealing with more significant scarring, deeper wrinkles, or pigmented lesions who want a more robust treatment than surface-level options can provide.

Because ProFractional's depth is adjustable, it can be tailored for patients at different stages of concern, from those wanting meaningful improvement with moderate downtime to those seeking more aggressive correction. During your consultation, Dr. Walker will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine the right treatment depth and settings for you.

What to Expect During Your ProFractional Laser Treatment

Your ProFractional treatment begins with a consultation, during which Dr. Walker examines your skin and discusses which concerns matter most to you. Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to improve comfort. During your session, a computer-guided scanner moves the laser across the treatment area, delivering precisely controlled pulses at a depth customized to your goals. Treatment typically takes thirty minutes to an hour, depending on the areas addressed.

Recovering After ProFractional Laser Treatment

Recovery from ProFractional laser in Dallas varies depending on the depth of your treatment, generally requiring a few days to a week of downtime. Skin will typically feel tight and appear red immediately afterward, similar to a mild sunburn. Over the following days, the treated skin will re-grow and can usually be covered with makeup within about a week. Patients are advised to stay out of direct sunlight and use sunscreen consistently during healing.

Results to Expect From ProFractional Laser Treatment

Noticeable improvement in tone, texture, and the appearance of scars typically becomes visible as the skin fully heals, usually within one to two weeks of treatment. Because ProFractional stimulates deep collagen production, results continue to improve for several months after treatment. Many patients benefit from a series of sessions, spaced several weeks apart, for optimal, cumulative improvement.

Profractional Laser Frequently Asked Questions

How is ProFractional different from other resurfacing lasers, like Halo or Moxi?

ProFractional offers deeper tunability specifically for scar revision and more significant correction, while treatments like Halo and Moxi are often used for milder resurfacing with less downtime.

How many ProFractional treatments will I need?

Many patients see significant improvement after a single deep treatment, though a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is often recommended for scarring or more extensive concerns.

Is ProFractional laser treatment painful?

Most patients tolerate treatment well with topical numbing cream applied beforehand, describing the sensation as warm or mildly uncomfortable rather than significantly painful.

How much downtime should I expect?

Downtime depends on treatment depth, generally ranging from a few days of redness to about a week of visible healing and peeling for deeper settings.

Can ProFractional treat areas beyond the face?

Yes, ProFractional can be safely used on the neck, chest, and hands in addition to the face, depending on your specific areas of concern.

Is ProFractional safe for all skin tones?

Your provider will evaluate your specific skin type and tone during your consultation to determine the safest and most effective treatment depth and settings for you.
