Do you have acne scars, wrinkles and sun-damaged skin? These are areas of concern to many people. Really, who doesn’t have a scar they want to get rid of?  This includes scars from accidents, surgery and playing sports.
Wrinkles. Everyone faces the challenge of reducing wrinkles and having a youthful appearance.
Sun-damaged skin. Now that summer is almost here, people will be outside in the hot sun, and all the sun-worshipers show the evidence of sun-damaged skin that has accumulated over the years. It’s not healthy and the more sun you get, the more tired and dried out it becomes.
 Technology to help people look their best, and many times reduce the signs of aging, improves every year and one of the new advancements is called ProFractional®, and can be very helpful in reducing acne scars, wrinkles and sun-damaged skin, as well as many other skin related conditions. 
It is a quick and comfortable laser procedure with little to no downtime, used for improving the overall appearance of your skin. It uses a laser micro-beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin. And, because only a fraction of the skin is directly treated with the laser, healing time is quick and downtime is short.
What Conditions Can Be Treated?
ProFractional can be used to improve a wide variety of skin conditions, but is used most for:
•    Wrinkles and fine lines
•    Post-traumatic scars
•    Acne scars
•    Age spots
•    Sun spots
•    Freckles
•    Aging and sun-damaged skin
How Does It Work?
This new technology uses laser energy to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, which are surrounded by areas of healthy, untreated skin. The zones of untreated skin invigorate the body’s natural healing process, and the treated areas stimulate production of new collagen, plumping up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles, lines, scars and other irregularities.
If you are looking to improve acne scars, wrinkles or sun damaged skin in a comfortable treatment with fast recovery, then you may be an ideal candidate. Most skin areas can be treated. Popular areas are the face, neck, chest and hands. You should discuss your needs with your physician.
One of the best things about ProFractional is that it is a fast, comfortable procedure done in your physician’s office. The procedure normally takes 15-30 minutes depending on the condition and the size of the area treated. A numbing cream may be applied in advance to aid in comfort during the procedure.
The treatments are typically done in a series of 1-4 treatments, spaced 3-6 weeks apart, depending on your needs. Your physician will personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Your physician may also combine ProFractional with other popular aesthetic procedures to further enhance your treatment results.
After treatments, your skin will be more sensitive to ultra-violet light, so you must avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. You should always use some level of sun protection to avoid sun damage and premature aging of your skin. It is important to follow your physician’s instructions, which may include some skin care products and instructions on how to use them.
