What Is ProFractional™ Laser Treatment?

ProFractional™ is a revolutionary treatment that harnesses the power of erbium laser technology to deeply rejuvenate the skin. During the session, a fractional laser creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process while leaving the surrounding tissue intact.

This triggers the rapid production of new collagen and elastin, which helps to radically improve skin texture, tone, and overall structural integrity. ProFractional™ laser treatment is highly versatile and is a top choice for Cincinnati patients looking to address:

• Deep wrinkles and fine lines

• Severe acne scars and pock marks

• Sun damage and actinic keratoses

• Uneven pigmentation and skin laxity

Top Benefits of ProFractional™ Lasers

Discover why Dr. Tork recommends ProFractional™ for advanced skin rejuvenation in Cincinnati:

• True Collagen Remodeling – By stimulating deep collagen production, ProFractional™ promotes long-term skin renewal and firmer tissue.

• Targeted Precision – The laser allows Dr. Tork to pinpoint specific concerns like deep acne scarring or "smoker's lines" around the mouth with incredible accuracy.

• Efficient Healing – Because it is a fractional treatment (treating only a fraction of the skin's surface), it offers faster healing times than traditional full-field ablative lasers while still delivering dramatic results.

The Procedure: How It Works

The ProFractional™ procedure uses an ablative erbium laser to create tiny microchannels. This prompts a "wound-healing" response, resulting in the generation of tighter, firmer tissue over the following weeks and months. The treatment is highly customizable, allowing Dr. Tork to adjust the depth of the laser based on your specific skin concerns and desired downtime.

Am I a Good Candidate for ProFractional™?

Generally, individuals in the Greater Cincinnati area struggling with deep wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven skin texture are excellent candidates. ProFractional™ is safe for most skin types and tones. During your consultation, Dr. Tork will evaluate your medical history and skin quality to ensure this is the safest and most effective path for your goals.

How Long Does It Take to Heal?

Healing time varies based on the intensity of the procedure. Immediately following the treatment, you will experience redness and swelling, similar to a deep sunburn. Complete healing of the surface layer typically occurs within 5 to 7 days, while the deeper remodeling of collagen continues for several months.

ProFractional™ FAQs

What is the ProFractional Laser?

It is a true ablative laser that operates on the principle of thermocoagulation. By destroying microscopic columns of aged or damaged tissue, it forces the body to regenerate new, healthy skin in its place.

What does the treatment feel like?

To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. Most patients describe a sensation of "hot, rapid pinpricks." After the session, the skin will feel very warm for a few hours.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

You will notice a smoothing of wrinkles by the end of the first month. For pitted acne scarring, it can take up to 3 months to see the full resolution as collagen matures. Because ProFractional achieves permanent remodeling of the skin, the results are long-lasting, though maintenance may be recommended as natural aging continues.

What should I know before my first treatment in Cincinnati?

• Accutane: You must be off Accutane for at least 6 months prior to treatment.

• Sun Exposure: You should avoid direct sun exposure for one month before and one month after your treatment to protect your new skin.

• Consultation: Dr. Tork will provide a specific pre-treatment protocol during your visit to our Cincinnati, Ohio office.
