ProFractional

ProFractional is a quick and comfortable fractionated skin resurfacing laser used for improving the overall appearance of your skin. The treatment uses a laser beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of the skin. ProFractional can be used to improve a wide variety of skin conditions, including:

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Post-traumatic scars
• Acne scars
• Sun spots
• Age spots
• Freckles
• Aging and sun-damaged skin

Patients looking for younger looking skin, or to improve scars, wrinkles or sun damage are all candidates for ProFractional. Most commonly treated skin areas are the face, neck, chest and hands. The procedure normally takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the condition and the size of the area being treated.

To achieve optimal results, ProFractional is typically performed in a series of 3 to 4 treatments, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. Immediately following the procedure you may experience a mild redness, resembling a light sunburn sensation. Because the skin resurfacing is fractional, complete healing only takes about 2 to 4 days. Most patients can get back to work and apply makeup within 1 to 2 days after the treatment.

To further enhance your treatment results, ProFractional can be combined with other aesthetic procedures offered at Bense Medical Aesthetics. Call us today to book your complimentary ProFractional consultation.

ProFractional Treatment uses a laser micro beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin resulting in a quick healing time. ProFractional is able to treat a wide variety of skin conditions such as wrinkles, skin laxity, photo damagend scars. The effect is an immediate tightening and lifting of the skin and underlying tissue. Unlike other lasers, ProFractional is useful for all skin types and tones and works on your entire face: forehead, eyes, nasolabial folds, lip lines, chin and even the neck, chest and hands.

FEATURES

• ProFractional is an easy procedure: no surgery, no injections.
• ProFractional is a safe, clinically proven way to tighten and contour skin, with improvements in tone, contour and texture occurring naturally through the stimulation of your own collagen.
• A single treatment can tighten your existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth.
• Results can last for years depending on your skin condition and aging process.

THE TREATMENT

The ProFractional procedure is available only in the offices of qualified physicians. ProFractional uses laser energy to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin and treated areas stimulate the production of new collagen, plumping up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles. During the treatment, there is a brief, heat sensation. Immediately following the procedure you will experience redness resembling a sunburn-like reaction. Healing takes about 2-4 days and most patients can get back to work and apply makeup within 2-3 days after the treatment.

THE TECHNOLOGY

To understand how ProFractional works, it helps to know a little about how your skin works. The skin is made up of three distinct layers: a visible outer layer on the surface called the epidermis, a collagen-rich under layer beneath the surface called the dermis, and an inner layer beneath the dermis called the subcutaneous layer, also known as the fat layer that has a web of collagen fibres running through it. When the collagen in these three layers breaks down due to sun exposure, family heredity, or the normal aging process, your face begins to sag and wrinkle. Treatments that work on just the surface can't do anything to restore the collagen in the dermis. ProFractional is a laser procedure that tightens and renews your skin's collagen, also improving tone and texture.

THE RESULTS

Clinical studies have shown smoother, firmer, tighter skin immediately after ProFractional treatment. You may also notice some contouring effects which will enhance the shape of your face. Skin improvement as a result of the production of new collagen and increased tightening and contouring effects continue over time.

POST-CARE

Your skin will be more sensitive to ultra-violet light after the procedure, so you must avoid direct sun contact until the skin is healed. Sun protection to avoid sun damage and premature aging of your skin should be used after treatment.
