Revitalize Your Skin With ProFractional Laser Treatment in St. Louis

ProFractional laser treatment at Renaissance Plastic Surgery is a state-of-the-art laser treatment that creates thin channels within your epidermis at patient-specific depths, promoting rapid healing in the surrounding, untreated skin. By stimulating collagen and elastin formation, this advanced skin treatment gives you excellent resurfacing results with minimal downtime. ProFractional laser treatment at our medical spa could be an excellent option for you if you’re seeking a non-invasive way to rejuvenate your skin and reduce unsightly signs of aging.

What Is ProFractional Laser Treatment?

ProFractional laser treatment is a cosmetic procedure aimed at renewing and rejuvenating your skin. Unlike full-field resurfacing, which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional laser treatment targets micro-zones of skin. It uses a precise laser beam to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin.

After ProFractional laser treatment, patients see improvement in scarring, wrinkles, and sun damage. The beauty of the ProFractional treatment is the residual building of collagen that will be seen throughout the following four to six months. This leads to long-term improvements in the health, texture, and appearance of your skin.

What to Expect During Your ProFractional Laser Treatment in St. Louis

If you’re interested in skin rejuvenation with ProFractional laser treatment, the first step will be a one-on-one consultation with one of our skin care specialists. They’ll examine your skin and ask you about what you’re hoping to achieve with the procedure. They’ll discuss the details of the treatment with you, as well as your health and medical history, to ensure that you’re a good candidate.

When you arrive for your ProFractional laser treatment at our medical spa, you will be brought into a treatment room, where your skin will be cleansed and prepared. A topical anesthetic is often applied to minimize discomfort during the session, and you’ll also be given protective eyewear to wear during the procedure.

During the treatment, you'll feel a sensation that's often described as a quick, warm pinprick as the laser precisely targets microscopic areas of your skin. The laser creates tiny channels in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing process and stimulates new collagen production. Once the treatment is finished, you can head home immediately.

Does ProFractional Laser Treatment Require a Recovery Period?

ProFractional laser treatment involves minimal downtime compared with other resurfacing techniques. Typically, you can expect one to three days of recovery time for mild treatments and up to a week for more intensive sessions.
Post-treatment, your skin will appear red, akin to a sunburn. Mild swelling is also common. For optimal healing and results, it's crucial to do the following for several days after your procedure:

  • Avoid direct sun exposure
  • Use a gentle cleanser
  • Apply recommended moisturizers
  • Utilize sun protection when going outside

Your skin will begin to peel around day two or three, revealing fresh, new tissue underneath. Though side effects typically subside within a week, complete healing can take a few weeks. You will receive specific aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment's intensity.

Minor bleeding and bruising are also possible. Typically, these side effects are temporary and resolve within a few days to a week.

How quickly do the results appear after ProFractional laser treatment?

Visible improvements from ProFractional laser treatments can sometimes be noticed shortly after the procedure.

A series of sessions may be required to achieve your desired outcome.

How effective is ProFractional laser treatment in reducing or eliminating scars?

ProFractional laser treatments are highly effective for reducing the appearance of scars, particularly those caused by acne or surgery. By creating microchannels in the skin, the treatment stimulates natural collagen production, which helps to smooth out scar tissue and blend it with the surrounding skin.

The improvements made in skin texture and tone from ProFractional laser treatments can be long-lasting. However, it does not halt the natural aging process or prevent new scars from forming. To maintain results, you may require additional treatments or touch-ups, and it is important to adopt a consistent skincare routine and protect your skin from sun damage.
