Uneven texture, visible scars, and wrinkles can involve different layers of the skin. At SARA Surgery in Morton Grove, a ProFractional consultation helps you understand whether fractional laser resurfacing is an appropriate option for the particular concern you want to address.
How ProFractional Works
ProFractional is an erbium laser that creates narrow treatment channels in the skin while leaving areas between them untreated. This controlled injury triggers healing and collagen remodeling. Treatment depth and coverage can be adjusted to the concern and recovery plan.
What Can It Be Used For?
ProFractional may be considered for the appearance of certain wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and uneven texture. It does not erase scars or replace a surgical lift. If a scar is painful, raised, or restricting movement, a broader scar reconstruction assessment may be the better starting point.
For more superficial concerns, you can ask how it compares with Nano Laser Peel. The most intensive treatment is not automatically the most suitable one.
Planning Your Treatment
We will discuss your goals, skin history, previous procedures, medications, and ability to follow aftercare. Tell us about cold sores, unusual scarring, pigment changes, or recent tanning. Ask about the proposed settings, comfort measures, number of sessions, and costs.
Topical numbing or other local anesthesia may be discussed depending on the area and treatment plan. Comfort needs vary, so tell us about any concerns or previous difficulty tolerating a procedure.
Recovery and Results
Redness, swelling, tenderness, and areas of pinpoint bleeding or crusting may occur. Healing time varies with treatment intensity and your skin. You will need instructions for wound care, sun protection, and when to resume usual products and activities.
Risks include infection, persistent redness, changes in pigmentation, and scarring. Ask which symptoms require prompt contact. Results develop with healing, vary between patients, and may require more than one treatment.
