What Is ProFractional Laser?

ProFractional is a fractional laser treatment that creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact. Unlike full-field resurfacing, ProFractional treats only a fraction of the skin, creating channels that penetrate deep to stimulate collagen remodeling. This strategic approach promotes rapid healing, resulting in smoother texture and improved tone with significantly less downtime.

Benefits of ProFractional Laser

  • Visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improved appearance of acne scars and surgical scars
  • More even skin tone and diminished sun damage
  • Refined skin texture and reduced pore size
  • Natural collagen stimulation for long-term results
  • Minimal downtime—return to activities within days

Are You a Candidate for ProFractional Laser?

ProFractional is ideal for men and women seeking to address aging, sun damage, or scarring without extensive recovery.

You may be an excellent candidate if you have noticeable wrinkles, acne scars, uneven tone, rough texture, or dull skin that hasn't improved with skincare alone.

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Consultation and Cost

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Arroyo examines your skin and designs a customized plan. He'll explain how many sessions you'll need (typically 1-4 treatments) and the expected results. Cost varies based on treatment area and number of sessions. Dr. Arroyo's team will provide a detailed estimate and discuss financing options.

Procedure Steps

A topical anesthetic is applied for comfort. Once numbed, Dr. Arroyo uses the ProFractional handpiece to deliver precise columns of laser energy into your skin. The computer-guided system ensures even coverage and optimal depth. Most sessions take 30-45 minutes. You'll feel minimal to no discomfort.

Recovery and Results Timeline

Your skin will feel warm and appear red, similar to mild sunburn. This subsides within 30-60 minutes. Slight swelling or itching may occur over 24 hours and resolves within 3-5 days. Most patients return to work within 1-2 days. Apply makeup after 24 hours. Keep skin moisturized with non-fragranced products for 3 days and avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks. Initial improvements appear within 3-5 days, with continued enhancement for 6 months as collagen remodels. For optimal results, Dr. Arroyo may recommend 2-4 treatments spaced several weeks apart.
