FRACTIONAL & PROFRACTIONAL LASER
RESURFACING THERAPY

Facial laser resurfacing has become a popular option for patients seeking to enhance the appearance of their skin. Unlike traditional laser peels, where effective results are associated with long periods of downtime, fractional technology, offers a short-downtime solution for treating wrinkles, scars, pigment, and toned and texture of the skin.

How Fractional & Profractional Laser Works
Fractional Therapy laser modality uses energy to create micro ablated channels deep in the dermal tissue, covering only a fraction of the total surface area and leaving the surrounding skin intact for faster healing and increase comfort. The wound-healing process produces fibroblasts that generate new collagen, plumping the skin and correcting skin imperfections.

Fractional Therapy allows the physician to select from a wide spectrum of treatment depths and densities, depending on the indications treated, the desired outcome and the patient's tolerance of downtime. Use superficial depth treatments for pigment, medium depth for fine lines and wrinkles, and deep depth for deep scars, acne scars, or deep wrinkles.

First generation fractional devices use non-ablative laser energy, leaving columns of necrotic debris in the tissue. They require multiple treatments and are not very effective on wrinkles or deep scars.

New generation fractional devices use ablative wavelengths- Er: YAG, CO2, or Er: YSGG. The results are more dramatic, but limited by the characteristics of the wavelength used.

Profractional-XC Tunable Profractional Solution is taking fractionated resurfacing to the next level for dramatic improvement in wrinkles, scars, pigment, tone, and texture.

Sciton's unique Tunable Fractional technology allows the use of any ablative fractional technology thereby optimizing treatment depth, are coverage, and the ratio of ablation and thermal zone to each patient's condition, skin type, desired outcome, and tolerance of downtime.

Recovery Time & Cost

ProFractional Therapy may be done as a single treatment or a series of 4 depending on the skin condition. The downtime from the procedure is very short, and patients can typically resume their normal activities and get back to work in 2 to 4 days after the treatment depending on the surface and depth of the treatment, as well as the cost which varies from $580 to $880 per treatment.
