Frequently Asked Questions
What does the ProFractional laser do to scar tissue?
The ProFractional laser creates precisely targeted micro-channels in scar tissue, which allows oxygen and collagen to flood the treated area. This stimulates the body's natural healing response and dramatically reduces the appearance of the scar over time.
What types of scars can ProFractional laser treatment improve?
ProFractional laser treatment is effective for a wide range of scars, including those caused by acne, physical trauma, and previous surgical procedures. It can significantly smooth and blend the appearance of scarring when performed in a series of one to three treatments.
Is ProFractional laser treatment only for scars?
No. In addition to scar reduction, ProFractional laser treatment rejuvenates the skin by improving tone and texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, addressing sun damage, and stimulating collagen production for a more youthful overall complexion.
