The Sciton ProFractional is a fractional laser that provides intense skin resurfacing with less downtime.

The Sciton ProFractional ablates micro-spherical channels into the skin that trigger your body’s natural healing process to produce rich new collagen stores. After a ProFractional treatment, you will immediately begin to experience tighter, rejuvenated skin.

The benefits of ProFractional include greater patient comfort, shorter healing times and the ability to use it on all skin types.

About the Sciton ProFractional procedure

The Sciton ProFractional procedure is designed to rejuvenate your complexion and treat a variety of conditions related to your skin’s quality. The laser improves the health of your skin by making microscopic perforations in the tissue, which stimulate your body’s natural healing process.

As a result, new collagen begins to grow, which can ultimately tighten the skin. Unlike other types of laser skin resurfacing, ProFractional™ treats only a small portion of the targeted area, so problem areas can be corrected without a long recovery period.

As collagen continues to grow over several months, the overall look and feel of your skin can gradually improve.

What it can address

The advanced Sciton ProFractional laser can correct several skin concerns. Whether they come from heredity, age or another factor, we are pleased to offer Sciton ProFractional treatments for:

Scarring
Stretch marks
Age lines
Melasma
Sunspots or other sun damage
Crepey skin
Uneven skin tone or texture
Large pores

ProFractional is an excellent treatment for fine lines and deeper wrinkles, traumatic and acne scarring, and loose, sallow skin. Its deep collagen stimulation is what combats these conditions so well.

Sciton ProFractional can provide exceptional smoothing on many areas of the body. The most popular areas patients wish to improve are the face, neck, chest and hands.

Frequently asked questions

What can I expect during the procedure?

The Sciton ProFractional treatment is relatively fast, with a typical session lasting about 15 to 30 minutes, although this varies with the extent of your treatment needs. To help you achieve optimal results, we recommend one to four treatment sessions spaced three to six weeks apart.

Dr. Rao will work closely with you to create an individualized treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Does it hurt?

To minimize pain or discomfort during your treatment, we offer the option of numbing cream applied beforehand.

What can I expect during recovery?

Because Sciton ProFractional treats targeted sections of the skin, healing is much faster than with more invasive options. Any downtime is typically minimal, about one to three days. During this short recovery, mild redness similar to a sunburn is normal. Most patients can return to work and wear makeup within a day or two of their session.

How long will the results last?

Results typically continue to improve for up to six months after your procedure. Over this time, your skin should gradually tighten and develop a softer, healthier appearance.
