ProFractional Laser Resurfacing: How It Works, Effectiveness, and More

ProFractional laser resurfacing has gained popularity due to its ability to address a wide range of skin concerns with minimal downtime. One of the unique features of this treatment is its precision in targeting problem areas, making it suitable for a variety of skin types and conditions. The laser creates tiny, controlled channels in the skin, allowing for a customized approach that focuses on the depth and intensity of the treatment. Whether you’re looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, or sunspots, Dr. Maloney at Maloney Plastic Surgery can tailor the treatment to address specific areas of concern.

The Benefits Go Beyond Aestheticsย 

The benefits of ProFractional laser resurfacing extend beyond just improving skin texture and tone. The treatment stimulates collagen production, which is essential for maintaining healthy, youthful skin. Collagen helps to keep the skin firm and elastic, and as we age, the body produces less of it. By stimulating the production of new collagen, ProFractional laser resurfacing can reverse signs of aging and promote long-term skin health.

How the Treatment Works

Unlike traditional resurfacing methods that remove the top layers of the skin, ProFractional laser resurfacing works by creating microscopic holes in the skin, allowing for faster healing and a reduced risk of complications. The surrounding tissue remains intact, which means your skin heals more quickly while still benefiting from the treatmentโ€™s collagen-boosting effects. This innovative technique allows for faster recovery with minimal discomfort, making it a popular option for those seeking significant results without extended downtime.ย 

What to Expect During Your Treatment

During your consultation, Dr. Maloney and his team will assess your skin type and concerns to customize a treatment plan. We’ll explain the procedure, expected results, and recovery process. During the treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the areas you need treated. We will provide follow-up care to ensure you get optimal results from your treatment.

The Side Effects and When You Will See Results

While most patients experience mild redness or swelling immediately after the procedure, these effects typically subside within a few days. After a single session, patients often see noticeable improvements, but optimal results are typically achieved after a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. The results continue to improve over time as the skin regenerates, leaving you with smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

A Treatment Option for Many Skin Concerns

Whether youโ€™re seeking a solution for sun damage, wrinkles, or acne scars, ProFractional laser resurfacing offers an effective and minimally invasive treatment option. With proper aftercare and regular treatments, you can enjoy the long-lasting benefits of improved skin texture, tone, and elasticity.ย
