Profractional Laser Resurfacing in Scottsdale, Arizona

Profractional laser resurfacing is a non-invasive, advanced skin treatment that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage—resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.

What is Profractional Laser Resurfacing?

Profractional laser resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. It uses a fractional laser beam that penetrates the top layer of skin, targeting areas with sun damage, wrinkles, and other blemishes. The treatments are designed to stimulate collagen production while removing unwanted tissue.

Benefits

Profractional laser resurfacing can provide a variety of skin benefits, including:

Reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and signs of aging
Eliminating pigmentation and age spots
Softening deep creases and scars
Enhancing skin tone and skin texture
Increasing new collagen production to give skin a firmer appearance

Side Effects

Like any cosmetic procedure, profractional laser resurfacing can cause side effects such as:

Redness
Swelling
Burning sensations

These are usually temporary and should subside within a few days of the treatment. In some cases, however, more serious side effects such as scarring or blistering can occur.

Treatment Areas

Profractional laser resurfacing can be used to treat a variety of areas, including:

face
neck
chest
arms
hands

Post care for Long-Term Results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Profractional Laser Resurfacing?

Profractional laser resurfacing treatments typically take between 30 minutes and two hours, depending on the number of areas being treated. During treatment, a handheld device is used to target specific areas of skin with the fractionated laser beam. Patients may feel a slight tingling sensation as the laser penetrates the skin. Providers typically utilize a topical anesthetic to ensure treatment is comfortable for patients. This laser treatment requires no downtime, however, patients should use light skincare and sunscreen and avoid sun exposure post-treatment. Your provider may also prescribe a protective balm to the treated area to ensure an optimal healing process.

Can you go in the sun after treatment?
