Profractional

Profractional laser therapy is laser that resurfaces the skin to help treat scars, wrinkles, fine lines and sun damage such as skin discoloration. This laser penetrates deep into the skin, removing the top layer. This triggers the body’s natural response to heal wounds, which in turn stimulates new collagen and elastin production leaving you with smoother, softer, more even skin. And even after the skin has healed in a week or so, it continues to produce new collagen and just gets better with time, up to 6 months after the treatment! You should consider this treatment if: you have deep wrinkles or stubborn fine lines (especially around the mouth), acne scars, surgical scars, or uneven skin texture.

TIME

Treatment time is 20-30 minutes, however, you will be booked for 1 hour and we recommend you arrive 20 minutes before your appointment time for additional numbing time.

Downtime

Profractional treats a portion of the skin at a time, which means that you heal much faster than with traditional resurfacing lasers. With Profractional, you should expect 5-7 days of downtime and we recommend doing this procedure 1 month out from any major events. Throughout the first day your skin is red, swollen and may bleed. This will get better each day, and by day 5-7 most people are healed enough to apply makeup (if desired), and by 2 weeks most are completely healed.

“Fast, Easy, effective”

My first experience at Beacon Dermatology was so fast, easy, and effective! George and Chelsea are helping me find a solution to treating my acne! They gave me step-by-step instructions and finally made me feel hopeful that I will have clear skin one day! I can’t recommend them enough based on their kindness!

“Friendly and Caring staff”

Dr Abrou was such a pleasure/treasure. He took the time to explain the procedure and made sure I was comfortable. My procedure was a few days from Christmas and it was clearly busy. He commented to one of his assistants on how much he appreciated her help during this busy time. That has to speak to his character. The staff was so friendly and caring also. Thank you to all at Beacon. I would recommend this practice for sure. “
