Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ProFractional laser?
ProFractional is a fractional erbium laser developed by Sciton, designed for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. It delivers focused laser energy into thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This triggers the body's natural healing process and stimulates new collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer, more even skin over time.
How does ProFractional laser resurfacing work?
The laser creates thousands of tiny, precise microchannels in the skin, causing controlled micro-injuries that prompt the body to heal and produce new collagen. Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, healing is faster than with traditional full-field ablative lasers. Results develop gradually as collagen remodels over the following weeks and months.
What skin concerns can ProFractional treat?
ProFractional effectively treats fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, sun damage, sunspots and pigmented lesions, uneven skin texture and tone, and mild skin laxity. It can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
How is ProFractional different from a CO2 laser?
ProFractional uses an erbium laser, which has a higher ablation efficiency and significantly less thermal conduction than CO2 lasers. This means it achieves effective resurfacing with less heat transferred to surrounding tissue, resulting in a more comfortable experience and shorter recovery time while still delivering meaningful, lasting results.
How many ProFractional treatments will I need?
Most patients see significant improvement after one to three sessions, depending on the severity of their concerns and their desired outcome. Periodic maintenance treatments are recommended annually to preserve and extend results. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan at your consultation.
Does ProFractional laser treatment hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximize comfort. During the procedure, most patients experience a rapid snapping or warming sensation as the laser is applied. Post-treatment, mild redness and swelling are expected but typically resolve within a few days.
How long is the recovery after ProFractional?
Most patients experience mild redness and swelling for two to five days following treatment. Downtime is generally shorter than with traditional full-field ablative resurfacing. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to support your healing and help you get the best possible results.
Is ProFractional safe for all skin types?
Yes. ProFractional's tunable technology allows treatment settings to be customized for a wide range of skin tones and types. Your provider will evaluate your skin at your consultation and adjust the treatment accordingly to ensure it is both safe and effective for you specifically.
How much does ProFractional laser treatment cost in Miami Beach?
Cost varies based on the size of the treatment area, the depth and intensity of your session, and the number of treatments in your plan. Pricing is discussed transparently at your consultation before any treatment begins. Contact our Miami Beach office for more information or to schedule your appointment.
